Nights and (Little Bug’s) naps are my time to work on jewelry.  I’m getting ready to do a small art fair in 3 weeks so I’ve been working like a crazy person trying to increase my inventory.  I don’t anticipate a lot of sales, it’s a small fair in a small town, I’m doing it more for fun and to get my feet wet than to make money.  I’m contemplating doing a large art fair here in Chicago this summer so this small spring show will be good for practice.  I will start listing the items that don’t sell at the fair in my Etsy store in late May.  Hope to find the time to share another handful of pieces later in the week!

No More Mr. Longhair

Little Bug got his first big boy haircut last weekend!  He behaved so well for the stylist.  I was a bit worried because I could not get him to hold still when I tried to trim his hair myself.  And I mean not even for a few seconds.  But he was very good and very serious.  He had to sit on Mommy’s lap of course, but other than that, it was a breeze.
