dorklandia

I’m pleased to announce that dorklandia now has space in the Makers Market. I’ve just listed a zombie monster octopus, and will be posting more as I get better pictures. This should be a pretty nifty spot!

Here’s a picture of the zombie:

I will have a little table at the Sunbrothers 10th Anniversary Valentine’s Show this Saturday! Hope to see you there! Here’s a link for you: http://www.sunbrothers.com/news/?p=93

I do believe we’re in the future!

Well, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind lately.
New and nifty job, Renegade Craft Fair, RGRocketeering, and we’re moving on Saturday!
So, please to forgive the sparseness.
The Renegade Craft Fair was *excellent*. They let me bring my silly ice cream cart, and I had a great time, met all sorts of neat people, and saw a bunch of friends. I still have rather more ice cream kits than I’d planned on owning, but I’m alright with that.
Pix soon!

I’ve been wishing for rain all day.
What with the mild concussion, the start of school, and a fairly sudden job interview, I’m slightly overstimulated.
Also, today, I looked, and someone has registered ‘dorklandia.blogspot.com’, which is funny and weird at the same time. I wonder if he saw my stuff at a craft fair somewhere and decided he must live there too.
No octopix today, I’m still a bit foggy from my great big bump-on-the-head.

Here are some pictures from the Maker Faire this past weekend. We had a very silly time selling felt popsicle and ice cream cone kits out of my little souped up laundry cart.
The bags are full of polyfill, not cotton candy. We didn’t take the pole with us on Day 2, since we’d disappointed so many kids on Saturday. Still, I think it was pretty funny, and a lot of other folks did too.
I put the bomb pop and popsicle on the back of my jacket, and think I want to decorate about a zillion more hoodies, it was so much fun and so rewarding. Simple lines can convey so much!
Other notables: I sold out of hot pink popsicle kits. I wonder if that’s because I had a hot pink one on display. I really really wanted to try displaying a different color on Sunday, to see if it changed the sales, but I was pretty well worn out Saturday night. Next time. I also sold maybe two bomb pop kits the whole weekend, so let me know if you want one.

The Maker Faire is happening Saturday May 30 (tomorrow!) and Sunday May 31.

I’ll be there with my little ice cream cart, selling kits to make popsicles and drumsticks and bomb pops. Should be a great time, and I will post pix once I have some decent, not-in-my-destroyed-sewing-room ones.

Once this is done, I should be back to my regularly scheduled octoposts. Hope to see you there!

we got back from Hawaii a couple of days ago, and I’m still a little vacation-addled.
Today is my birthday! It’s been quite nice so far, lots and lots of wellwishing from all sorts of amazing people. I feel lucky!

Spent some time with etsy today, and finally have a whole bunch of stuff up on etsy.

Take a look if you’d like!

happy earth day!
for whatever it’s worth. the odd little natural foods store near my neighborhood is having a party. someday when I have more time I will need to write a little story about that place.
but for now… time to go look for foodly fabric. yesssss.
