Crafty Wonderland Today and Tomorrow!

Hi Portland, 

See you there. I'm running around like crazy getting ready for this one. Should be a blast. 

Urban Craft Uprising Craft Fair

See you at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle this weekend!

Renegade Recap and Happy New Year!

Big sigh. The holidays are over and I can calm down a bit. The holidays are most certainly the busiest time of year for CuriousDoodles. Put travel to California and Texas on top of that and you get a very quiet blog for a long time. But I survived, and I very hopeful that the new year will be full of good things. I want to spend more time learning how to sew clothes for myself this year. I am slightly intimidated by this type of sewing so I'm doing one project every month to get over my fears. I will try to share the triumphs and failures with you.

Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco was a blast. I really enjoyed getting to meet so many awesome customers as well as other artists like The Experts Agree , R&L Goods , and Texture Clothing to name a few. It was impressive to see so many people packed into the Concourse Center that it was hard to walk though the aisles. I was definitely feeling the handmade love, which makes me think I should keep doing this.

Thanks for a Successful Weekend at Crafty Wonderland

Thanks so much to all those folks who stopped by my booth at Crafty Wonderland. I really appreciate you! It was also amazing meeting a bunch of other talented artists this weekend. Thank you Darrell for all your help with the show. On a side note, congratulations to Liz for being the winner of my calendar giveaway. Now time to regroup and get ready for Renegade craft fair next weekend in San Francisco. Hope to see all my readers from the bay area there!

Join me at Crafty Wonderland this weekend!

The Formal Artisan Fair

I will be doing one last holiday sale at the Acadian Ballroom On Alberta & 19th. I would recomend eggs bendict at Petite Provence, my favorite brunch spot in the NE, and then head across the street to the Acadian Ballroom for some last minute indie holiday shopping. There will be goodie bags for the first 100 customers.

Crafty Wonderland Recap

I'm still recovering from an exciting weekend at Crafty Wonderland. It was a great success for CuriousDoodles and Diskgrunt. Thank you to everybody who came by this weekend. If you weren't able to make it, I would urge you to head on over to the Crafty Wonderland Pop Up Shop. There are so many unique gifts over there including most of my line of goods. Check out some pics of the shop below.

Also, I want to mention that Diskgrunt and I will be at the Formal Holiday Artisan Fair on Alberta Street this Sunday. More on that soon.

Fun Vintage Stuff

My birthday is on Saturday so I treated myself to some awesome vintage stuff from Rerun, a local resale shop. Firstly, I found this incredible trunk with lots of character. The inside is lined with this vintagey green floral print and it will be perfect for selling at street fairs. I'm starting to have a pretty good collection of old suitcases.

I also found some really cute vintage fabrics. I can't wait to use these. I have some patchwork ideas in mind.

Can you even resist these cute drums!

And every collection needs alittle americana.

Get Your Handmade Shopping Done Today!
