Maker Madness; what you (and me)MISSED!!

Last week I purchased $53 of relpax(2pills) because there was no way that a sure to come migraine bout was gonna keep me from the faire. I had worked hard and was super excited about meeting lots of folks in person finally!
Well guess what , No migraines! Instead I had the most excruciatingly painful sore throat followed by an all out common cold? (i think I am still suffering) Lack of sleep and proper nutrients I suppose got the best of me finally anyway. WahWah right
I was there for Friday load in and until Saturday about 3:00 when my smuggled in hot tea supply fizzled and I heard the news there was no hot water or soup in the place(NO SOUP? what about those of us that should be home in bed....Rachel)I sat here while I was at the faire, then I left boohoo
Anyhow ,Of course my friends and brave hubby came to my rescue. (I cannot begin to express my gratitude esp in a blog so I will do that privately)
Daddy takes better pictures than me anyway here is a splattering...

~My favorite panties...this is all i have left of you

~Yumyummy cupcake necklaces and sweet vintage button rings from blue mama



Burger was terrified of the ping pong tossing robot! And frankly the blasting of Rick Astley" never gonna give you up" was quite petrifying......but "cool robot"was all I heard, when we were home and we had to watch The Iron giant 3X
Aside from my total failure to show up, the Belle and burger and Blue Mama combo booth was quite a successful collaboration. We are planning on moving BlueMama into the Farmers Market booth in November!
Here is our wondrous sign supplied by the fantastic guys over at Sun Signs~ a great local place to get your signage made! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL AUSTIN BUSINESSES!!!!!


I think the real reason the craft faire gods made me sick was so my man could make the Biggest Booth sale of the weekend to bill Murray. He bought a awesomely cool blue mama "lone Star" beer cap necklace!!!! (shown here on this lady where you cannot see it) yes I said Bill Murray !!!Daddy even took stalker style photos and everything. What a thrill! I still cannot believe I missed it.

I did however get to meet crafty super star Jennifer Perkins of Naught Secretary Club . Jennifer and her sissy Hope (of Hot Pink Pistol, these are super~badass genius)had the booth right next to us.
Jennifer was looking quite lovely and had the personality to match. She also did some demos and was promoting her new fabulously crafty book" The Naught Secretary Club~ The working Girl's guide to handmade jewelry"

There is so much to say but I have a week of birthdays and one thing I am giving them is my time ! It was awesome an I am super excited abut all my new crafty pals.

It is Friday and the Bazaar bizarre starts today with our load in and set up. Things are crazy round these parts( inside the little fort I call my head)

~I just found this self portrait in our photos file..don't exactly know who snapped it My man just gave me a much needed (he could see it in my wild and crazy eyes)pep talk edged with a warning that was something like" you are the key to this whole thing" (very positive) so do not loose It(warning): sometimes you loose it when the littlest thing goes wrong, it is all going to be OK , you know can do it(Preemptive)" See this is how I know I married the perfect compliment. Besides being 100% on this one, he framed the information in a way that does not put me on the defensive. He really does now how to get things done.Thanks daddy..for so much and all the yum yum breakfast for dinners


So moving along to the blog I should be neglecting. This is my 100Th post(which I understand is somewhat celebrated in blogland?) I had not even thought of it till I read this hi-larious blog entry by a super-fabu Texas lady calledCrazy Texas Mommy.
Anyway I sat down today thinking I should see how far I am from 100 (or if I had past it).
I was quite surprised and then a little not to see that by post numbered 99!? So anywho~ yay 100 post...there
Now we are busy little bees around here...I have a terrible sore throat~ this is my remedy along with my constant companion
~here are some very random snapshots of what I have been piecing together




and all I have to offer are some bad photos of a mad house...~and much super love
hopefully I will take"real" photos of all my stuff before it hopefully sells(hahaha). Can I get any more hope in there!?
This is my first official"craft" show so keep me in your thoughts and come see me At the Maker Faire if you are local
