It has been a busy monday! I have been making stuff like crazy and packaging things up to ship off. I also took stuff down to MNfashion and the location is amazing! I think it is going to be really cute. I am going to go down there on Wed and help with displays and merchandising a little and there is a small opening on Thursday evening. I am really excited about getting my items into shops outside Minneapolis...let's hope the economy gets better and people start buying as much as they used to!

Taught Harry how to catch a frisbee earlier today! We haven't tried for a year or so because he was so scared and uninterested when he was younger, but he totally loves it and was growling and throwing it around. Oh dear, it was funny. 

Events coming up:

MNfashion Opens!- Nov 21

i like you Ornament Show- Nov 29

Handmaidens- Dec 7

Caffetto Art Fair- Dec 13

MNfashion Holiday Boutique

MNfashion is opening a pop-up holiday boutique in downtown Mpls in Gaviidae Commons(next to Neiman Marcus). I am going to a featured artist for this! Lots of other great MN designers too!

A New Day Rising

Well, Obama has won the election and I am pretty happy about that. I really hope things get better for our country soon- let's hope Obama's plan for when he takes office is just as meticulously planned as his campaign was.

Haven't really told you the basics about my life yet, but I live in Minneapolis, work in a museum, live in a recording studio(see link to the left), and I am obsessed with my dog(Harry!). There is a band in the studio tonight so I am going to make a bunch of new earrings!

Hmmm...since I like pics so much, here are a few randoms of my house, dog, and boyfriend(Neil!) with Harry(dog!):
