A great end to a long weekend...

We stopped for Chinese food on the way home from the Mill Creek Festival - and this was my fortune. I am choosing to believe that this means great things for Norm, since I don't really know what it means.

Here's a peek at some of my friends that will be at the festival with me, my new tent, my new credit card machine, my new Greeting Cards (woohoo - professionally printed), and other new stuff like magnets, soldered microscope slide ornaments, and...

Totes2Go: totally cool re-usable fabric shopping bags that fold up into a nice neat little pouch when not in use.

World of Whimm: totally cool kids costumes!

NueToMe: recycled childrens clothing (like little girls t-shirt dresses)

RozsSaxSeattle: very cute handmade fashion accessories

Woven Chains: fantastic chain maille jewelry (you've gotta see her keychains, betcha won't be able to put it down!)

Made@Home: Homemade play dough with the coolest colors

FloatingPalace: very cute linoluem block print cards

Oh yea, park at the park and ride and ride the shuttle in - saves the hassle of trying to find non-existent parking at the fair.

this post will stay at the top until July 11th - all new posts appear below.

and what would you say about soldered ornaments?

3" x 1" glass on both sides, soldered with silver-colored lead-free solder. Aren't I clever for figuring that out on my own? Wait - did I already tell you about these... now that I think about it, I gave you a sneak peak into the first round of soldering. Well since then I've had to purchase a new solder iron (I ruined the tip somehow and I couldn't find a replacement tip for the cheap craft iront that I bought about 20 years ago and just now started using).

There's still a few glitches to work out, but I think I may have figured it all out by the Mill Creek Fair.
