I have this really bad habit of getting super crafty and forgetting everything else, which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the past week! I turned my phone off and got to workin’! And I can hardly wait to reveal the fruits of my labor! But you’re gonna have to wait for Baz Biz! It’s big, my friends, BIG!
Have I ever told you that Bazaar Bizarre Maker Faire is my very tip top favorite craft show ever? Well it is! This year we’re bringing our favorite helper-bunny, Justene, so Eric and I will actually get to leave the booth together sometimes! I’m seriously hoping that this will curb Eric from disappearing for hours at a time. Not that I can blame him. Where else do you get to watch giant balls of flame erupt while standing in line to use the trailer-sized hand-crusher thing?!
See This Post for more about the Baz Biz San Mateo in 2009
Oh yes, and I have a secret to announce this week! Come back on Tuesday for the thrilling details of the very INTERACTIVE element that I’m adding to my booth!

I’ve been itching to share this ever since we got it! Eric acquired an iPad the day they came out (for work) and holy moly is it awesome! We happened to have gotten it right before our big house-hunting trip to Oregon, and I was totally impressed at how much it added to the comfort of the journey! Here are some things we used it for while on the trip, and since we’ve returned:
* Watching movies on a 17 hour car trip.
* Looking at photos of houses with Eric and my dad while at a restaurant (3 people, full sized photos, at a table full of food, no laptop!!)
* Reading e-books about home improvement from the comfort of the hotel room.
* Showing our realtor photos of houses we liked (while out in the field, looking at houses we hated- she was very impressed, by the way).
* Playing video games (Eric’s been playing them- I have no interest- unless they come out with Sims 3 for the iPad . . .)
And since I’ve returned from the trip I’ve also found a really convenient thing- movies above the ironing board- no laptop!! I can iron bias tape and watch movies without having to move my ironing board into the family room!!

Here’s Polly Danger in a nutshell for the Lovely Blogger List and all my new friends who are just finding my blog or shop!
Meet Polly Danger, a twenty-something seamstress and all around crafter who loves vintage florals, punches of color, and all things vintage and well made. Polly started her craft career five years ago after returning from a year abroad. She started out making handy and adorable utility aprons, and then advanced to all manor of loveliness, including mini wallets and purses! Today Polly Danger still makes fabulous aprons, but is perhaps best known amongst sewers as the creator of the most gorgeous bias tapes and sewing buttons available anywhere! Oh yes and she’s a really nice person *-*.
To find out more about Polly Danger you can visit her Main Etsy Shop and her Notions Shop. To find out more about the Lovely Blogger List you can click HERE.

I’ve been laying on my bed since 2pm making pictures pretty and listing new goodies in both shops- I think I’m getting bed sores! I don’t even remember what my kitchen looks like.
I had to take a break from listing stuff- I always underestimate how long it takes to do that! So I thought I’d take the opportunity to entice you with a few pictures!
I present to you the Pavillion Bouquet Trio- a selection of delectable delights in a gorgeous new print. You can purchase a beloved Mini Wallet, new and handy Keychain Coin+ Card Pouch, and Checkbook Cover in this adorable print. Also see the SETS section of the Etsy shop for complete collections!
Okay, I’m going to go post more goodies. Hopefully I find my way to the kitchen at some point because I’m sure I smell freshly baked bread . . . unless I’m really out of my mind . . . hmm . . .
