Progress Report #1: Lemonade Stand Family Portrait

Here are the initial sketches :)

The goal is to finish today! TODAY!

Sure & Steady Hustle

I took a brief ice cream break after bazaar bizarre

only to immediately jump back into action & tackle the orders due before the new year.

Seven earmuffs, one rhino plush, two paintings, one elephant, 3 sets of specialize prints I still have to paint. (don't worry... floors clean. we have a shoes-off policy!) Thank goodness my little sister is back from her 3-month long tour of Southeast Asia to help me!

This is her project box. She's in charge of making the plush audio plugs & cardboard circles.

She also brought me lovely Japanese presents... haaaaaaaaaaaam! & pens galore!

Work station is a mess but I guess that's how I prefer it.

I'm pooped but o so very happy. I'm also two for two visits to the post office this week & looks like I'll be heading there tomorrow for more deliveries :)

overall, a very wonderfully successful fair. successful in that i met amazing folks, received a verbal/personal confirmation for selling my goodies at modern mouse & got to spend quality time with friends of the best/good, long-time-no-see, and future-bff persuasions. thank you to all who came especially mazzoni, tho, jt, matt, jeff, ravi, ali, alexis & kevin.

the plan for 2011 summer craft fairs is to pack up my car and make a 2-month road trip out of it. send me a line if you'd like me to visit your town's craft fair!

okay, time to hibernate in my custom order studio :)
