So cold



This weekend we did a little outdoor craft sale thing at the Midway. I thought, hey, it's been in the 60's all winter, sure sign me up! So it was like 25 all day. cold cold cold. I sold a couple of ware but most importantly we sold a ton of the door mats we made! I think it was a success even if i felt like those dudes in that movie The Grey (minus the wolves).


The best part about these events is that when people get some beers in them they get frisky. And then they start to buy stuff. Like hats! what fun hats! I must learn to make them!

You look nice today


Soooo, this past week has been CRAZAY! My friend once upon a time painted an awesome sign
and we all loved it. Well, eventually some designer somewhere decided to "steal" the image and that designer worked for H&M and then H&M put out a bunch of items with the design. My friend was bummed and I said to just take it back. So we did.
I cut a stencil and we bought a ton of IKEA mats and all of a sudden a fundraiser was born. My friend Tori, the original creator, wanted to design to go towards good so it was a fundraiser for her friend's dog. Then our friends at Regretsy got involved and BAM! Worldwide attention, tons of press, and a nice agreement with H&M to make everyone smile. So in the end thousands of dollars will go to my community and animal rescue groups, as well as Fred the dog's surgery. Now I have to go work my sweatshop and MAKE MORE MATS!
