Sheldon and I celebrated our first Valentine's Day together.

March

I made a pretty baby blanket in awesome colors for an awesome person.

 
 I got my first tattoos!

April

We went to Vegas for Viva Las Vegas... Yeah that's pretty much all I did.

May
 
I made a lot of these in preparation for the May Deluxe.
 
 
Sheldon moved in.

 June

Sheldon's dog Dewey moved in.


I made some family silhouettes for our bedroom. 

July
 
We spent a lot of time with Sheldon's family in Muskogee, OK where we found this awesome cabinet that now holds, dvds, cds, and ps2 and 3 games.

 
 We had our first dinner party as a couple.

August

I decided I needed to embroider more, and I started by adding embroidered animals to my knitted baby blankets.

 
I started my next big embroidery project/tattoo design

September
 
Sheldon proposed! We'll be getting married September 18, 2010.

 
I decided to try my hand at quilting.

October
 
 I crafted this awesome costume!


We had a family pumpkin carving party!

November
 
Amy and I taught an embroidery class together. We had a great time!

 
Sheldon and I started our own Thanksgiving traditions. Including friendsgiving with my friends.

December
 
I participated in my 3rd Deluxe Indie Bazaar.


Most recently, we had our first family ordeal. Dewey bit Bella on the 28th, resulting in a freaked out mama and 7 stitches to Bella's noggin. She's doing great now. I'm sure it was an accident, where he snapped and accidentally made contact. If it was on purpose he would have done a lot more damage.

Anyways, thanks for reading this year and next year will be full of more crafting, and definitely more wedding planning! Come back tomorrow to see my 2010 goals!

Deluxe Wrap-up

OMG friends, let me just say that I am sooo overwhelmed by what a success Deluxe was! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported all of our crafty endeavors! Our booth was decked out in pink loveliness and the glitter door was still a hit.

You can find more pictures on my flickr set: craft shows

We sold an assortment of all kinds of things, but my favorite items were the coffee cardis and the crocheted hair bows. I was so glad I decided to make those. They started out as what am I going to do with all these buttons and hair clips? And everyone knows I always have way too much yarn!

Don't those shutters I bought on a whim at an estate sale work perfectly for hair clip holders? I can thank Jenny for that idea. She's a thinker that one.

While I sold out of a lot of things, I have a lot of stock left so I am planning on starting up my etsy shop again with the New Year. There's really no point in spending hours making things if they are just going to set in my studio until the next show.

I also had some time to do a little shopping...

I got this adorable fawn ring from  Lollywood.

And this robot photo/painting from Vandroid.

We are totally in love with her artwork right now. The retro robots are something we both enjoy so we decided to get another piece from her for our living room.

All-in-all it was a fantastic day! And I was tuckered out afterwards. Bella was too apparently, even though she had no reason to be.
