Happy New year!

Blue = Karis

2013 Bro! 

Christmas season has come and gone (finally) but with the whirlwind of the holidays all the opportunities to craft fell through my fingertips! But isn't that how it usually goes? You think you have so much time and then bam, it's over, and there was so much more you wanted to do.

I started a bunch of projects that are now half finished (including a pair of socks for my new baby nephew. Sock status now!) There could be a long list of all of those half finished and ghetto finished projects but lets get onto the good things, shall we?

TADAAA! Can I mention how cool this made me feel? Like a boss. Like a BOSS.

See, I've mentioned that I like pokemon but I'm not sure if the true love, appreciation and obsession was communicated. I am a kid from the '90's, you see. 

Both Cleffa and Wooper were printed on 4T shirts. Isn't that cute? Your toddler can have a baby pokemon on their shirt and when they grow up we can make the next evolution in the sequence. :D

Yeah, so, this is most definitely my new craft kick so expect to see some more *thumbs up*

It's been a bit

Bazaar season has come and gone! *whew!* Finally.
After PCC Karis found us one more bazaar at Madison High School. But it didn't go well.
So we won't talk about it.

Fall term is over, Bazaar season is over and thus Karis and I's winter break begins!

What do we have planned for such a coveted event you ask? Simple.

Craft.

Karis has been knitting, I have been scrap booking and attempting the raging beast that is my sewing machine.

We will keep you guys up to date with our craftyness. We have plans to try our sweet skills at screen printing. Oh yea.
With wax paper.

Did you guys noticed we added stuff to our Etsy shop? No? Well here it is!
Did you see that we consigned our first local artist? Her name is Patty, and here is her bitchin' quilt!

See you later.

Cascade Heights and PCC!

These past two weeks have been a whirl wind! Between getting ready for finals, slaying finals, bazaars and custom orders we are ready for Christmas break!

Saturday the first we were at Cascade Heights public charter school. Now Karis and I have never heard of this school and I vaguely knew what a charter school was. To say the least we didn't know what to expect. We set up shop the night before and arrived Saturday morning expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

It was a blast! We were busy most of the day and most of the people we were having transactions with were kids. They were pretty amazing.
 Karis of course.
Soon I'll put up pictures of both of us. So you know we are both real.

We loved this bazaar! I heard whispers and them doing it again next year but trying to advertise it more. We will be there. ;D

We met a wonderful lady who was selling reusable sandwich bags that Karis fell in love with. Check her out at her Etsy shop!



And our box farm animals. Always a hit!

The Portland Community College bazaar was interesting. We knew about this one because Karis used to go to PCC for Japanese. So it is understood by all persons involved PCC is a FLYING PONY away from our house. To get there we took the Sellwood bridge which is a nightmare in the morning. After traversing the treacherous roads we made camp in the college center of the campus. It was a very long bazaar (8am - 6pm) and it felt like it was slow going. We did loose quite a bit of sales because we do not accept debit while we are at bazaars. So next year, or maybe as soon as spring, expect us to have the fancy square! The marvelous device that quickly and simply allows us to take your money.

WOW! This is a longer than usual post. I am sorry for the longedness and dryedness. I hope future posts are more joyful and glorious.

I want to give a shout out to one of our followers Markus. Follow his blog here. Here is a cute male fellow who lives in Europe, as I'm told. He has an adorable pattern on his blog for a christmas tree. Thanks for being amazing Markus!

Beaverton Bazaar 2012

Can I say that we got 17 pages views yesterday. While I am going to assume it wasn't all the same person that is pretty freakn awesome. 

Sorry for the late update but here is some info on the Beaverton Bazaar. 
Karis and I left home with high hopes as we headed to the delightful town of Beaverton. We could smell the winds of change and money. We had a very positive feeling and hopes the day would bode well for us. 

So of course it started out pretty difficult. Beaverton is a little bit of a jaunt for us to go to. The rain was very intense ( as it usually is in beautiful Oregon) so Karis got to feel what hydroplaning is. But don't worry! We live in Oregon, we know what to do. 

When we set our eyes on Beaverton high school we parked up front, for easier unloading of course. We had some early trouble finding our table but soon settled down and set up shop. 





<------ There I am. I don't know what I was thinking when I made that face. 


              ------->
                                                                                   There is Karis. Like I said, we were having a tough morning.







And toys! Of course toys. And don't worry you guys, we told every customer they could find us on Etsy. (Return customers perhaps?)

All in all it was a great day at Beaverton. We had really great sales and we bought some stuff for christmas.

Try to buy local! Hazzah!

Thanks to the lady who helped find us a table and spot, thanks to the band players who put on beautiful music brought us pizza to buy and bought some toys from us. 

Want to buy something? Find us on Etsy.
Like us on Facebook. (Don't forget to share some of our posts so your friends can like us too!)

This up coming weekend, December 1st, we are going to be at Cascade Heights public charter school. We have never been to this bazaar and I have never heard of this school. We don't really know what to expect, but you know we are going to look good doing it. ;D

We will update you guys soon.

Bazaar Season Has Begun!

Dea
Last Saturday was our first bazaar of the season! Karis packed all of our stuff into her little Honda and we headed out for Oregon City High School! From 9 to 4 we manned our little booth with pride. 



Here is our table! 
<----





If you follow us on Facebook you know that I (Dea) took the pictures. Needless to say I am no longer allowed to take pictures.  

The high school was HUGE! It was full of vendors that were selling some pretty amazing things.

                          Karis is no longer allowed to take pictures of me.             ---->




This Saturday we are going to be at the Beaverton High School bazaar. Last year it did a pretty good job of annihilating our inventory. Let's hope this year it has the same effect. *thumbs up*

New addition to the family

Blue = Karis

You know, in between school, work, popping out inventory, and family, I do find time to make patterns... Occasionally. 

So lets all meet Muchi, shall we?


 He kind of gets confused easily
 But he loves keeping things in his pocket!

I loooove Munchi. He's so cute and cuddable. 

Our first bazaar is this weekend in Oregon City otherwise I'd post him to Etsy.

 I'm apart of this team called "Ugly cute" and I think Muchi is pretty munch the definition. What do you think?
