Finally got around to making my August video. Woot.

Tinymeat™ and I have united our creative powers to bring you…

Weeping Willow Wallets!

They are now in the Etsy Shop for only 15 buck-a-roos.

Exterior

The wallet’s exterior has my 14th work of my Standard Movement Series, 00014 – Weeping Willow.

Interior

The wallet’s interior is antique ledger paper. Coffee ring and scribbles included! Sewn by Tinymeat™ himself! How cool is that?!

I joined this nifty group on Flickr called Self Portrait Thursday. What a cool idea!

Here’s my first submission!

Yep, that’s Gretel! She’s hanging out at the A + J pad for the week. She loves jumping on my lap while I’m at the computer. Lol. She’s such a sweetheart. Check out my new goldfish necklace, it’s so awesome. It was made by my new pal Little Bear. Oh boy, I gotta get going! I need to start packing up my art for today’s event, Last Thursday on Alberta. Hope to see you there!

PS: A new addition will be making an appearance in my Etsy shop tomorrow. I’m super excited for it to join the others. So do check my blog tomorrow! Yay!

When my husband & I visited Portland for the first time, we checked out all of it’s awesome neighborhoods, including Alberta. I fell in love with it’s telephone poles covered in show posters, it’s street art, and it’s quaint art store Collage.

A street art find on my first visit to Portland, back in Fall of 2007.

A few months after moving here we learned about and checked out Alberta’s monthly event, Last Thursday. It was so awesome to see such a lively event for blocks and blocks. Food, unique art, live & obscure music are definite staples of the experience.

My wish to participate and sell my handmade goods and art is going to be a reality! I will be joining 2 other artisans, Little Bear and Camp Smartypants this Thursday evening (which happens to be tomorrow). So if you are in the area, definitely stop by and make an appearance. I love meeting fresh faces. Also, if you have a minute do check out Little Bear and Camp Smartypants‘ Etsy shops.

Standard Movement greeting cards are now in the shop!
They are only $3 each, so you won’t break the bank.

Tomorrow I’m joining 90 other Artists & Crafters at tomorrow’s (Saturday, 19th) craft bazaar, Skating with Scissors. If you are in the Sellwood/Portland area you should totally swing by. It’s free to get in! I am so thrilled to do another craft show. Submerging myself into the Portland indie craft fair scene has been super awesome!

Here are directions to Oaks Amusement Park.

Start your Christmas shopping early and support handmade!
