zippity do-da!

I can't wait to make some zipper clutches with these babies!

Renegade Wrap Up

This past week I participated in my last craft fair of the season, sniff sniff. Renegade Holiday Craft show in Chicago was so much fun. I even got to hang with my mom in the city for a few days after the show.

I'm getting all set up for the big show!

The view from above, this was one of 5 rooms that held vendors.

This squirrel or beaver was a highlight for me. He definitely had some moves!

Where's Waldo?

Here is an action shot of me digging through the zippers at the gigantic fabric store. I only want the best for my Felix & Jayne customers!

Fabric Shopping In Chicago

Good thing I ate a good breakfast this morning because we went to the absolute most gigantic fabric store today to do some supply shopping.

When we first walked in I didn't realized how huge the place is and I kept finding more and more rooms of fabric. There were 3 floors with multiple rooms on each floor. Some rooms were completely filled with trims, it was overwhelming to say the least.

I found a big box of buttons that looked perfect for the my cuffs.

I dug through this bin of zippers for a very long time and found 68 of them that I couldn't live without. There were rows and rows of boxes full of zippers behind this bin.

I am totally in love with this place!

Zippers!

Got a package in the mail yesterday. I can't think of anyone who get as excited as me when a box of zippers and elastic arrive.

Why yes, that is a spool of 288 yards of elastic. Should last me a very long time.


Started making some coin purses the other day and I finally finished them up this evening. I still need to take some fancy pictures of them though.




Must get back to work, got some clutches to finish up.
