Playtime at Work

Although the fabrics I work with everyday scream F.U.N. I’m also reminded this time of year that I am so blessed that I consider my work playtime. Of course there are days that feel like I’m actually “working” but recently it feels a lot like playing, not only the fabrics but the mood of  my shop (perhaps it’s because tax season is over and the snow is gone). Take a peek at what I’ve been making the last few weeks in preparation for an upcoming show. More info about the show in a minute because BEFORE I FORGET, you MY PEEPS need to head to my website to snag what’s left because ——->

I will be clearing out all READY TO SHIP website inventory and taking it to the show!  Soooo, if you’ve had your eye on something for a bit, don’t wait any longer.

All Play and No Work?…yes.
I say, why not work after play or play with your work or why not play while you work.  My work feels a lot like playing most of the time, especially when creating these Creative Doodles. Your mini artist in residence will find oodles of drawing joy while they travel high in an airplane or over the river to grandmas. The fun, vibrant fabrics and the soft inside make these creative totes a kid-crowd pleaser and what’s not to resist about that easy carry bright handle?! And, did I mention they might just get your little one to unplug and forget about asking, “Are we there yet?”

(RE) NEWing an Old Favorite
The Fold Over Rover Clutch Purse has made it’s way back into my heart from the deep dark depths of the back burner status.  You, my versatile gal, will look appropriately balanced with your sophistication and playful spirit.  The fold over top of your must-have clutch folds both ways and has a convertible strap in a just right size.

What’s on your bucket list?
I don’t know about you, but my bucket list consists of actually getting the list of things done the same day I make the list – victory! My list looks something like this:
do dishes
laundry change out
post office drop off pkg.
make grocery list
bathrooms swipe
Are you a list maker? Me too. Let me just elaborate on this for a sec. Fact, I will right down something on my list just so I can have the satisfaction of crossing something off.  Gah! I know I’m not the only one who does this. Perhaps it’s counterproductive, but it feels sooo great to cross something off. Anyway, the Reversible Bucket Hat is for the list makers and non-list makers, the crosser-offers and the no-wash Saturday hair day women.  Check out these hats on my website or swing by my booth on Saturday – even if it’s not on your to-do list (wink, wink).
