M.I.A.

Yes, we've been absent.  It's been a busy several weeks.  The kids and I moved to a new place and it is a lot more difficult doing it by yourself.  Thankfully, my brother was able to help or it would have been impossible to move with the two kids.  Just another thing I need to learn to navigate as a single parent.  Thankfully, this has allowed me to be extra creative as we set up the new place.  I have to say, we are just about finished and we have some amazing things to show off!  While there is still more to do - there is always more to do! - we have settled a lot of things out and we have stacks of wonderful new things!

So, it is sad that we've been gone for so long but we have been ever so busy and really quite productive.  Some things we'll be posting soon:

Re-purposed shelving
Our new "couch"
Costumes!!
Art wall
Window dressings

Stay tuned!

As promised, the FandomFest 2013 costumes

First, Steampunk Alice which is for sale on my Etsy store -  Steampunk Alice.

I wore my Mad Hatter costume on Friday, but Saturday I was Steampunk Willy Wonka....

And Sunday I was Steampunk Dorothy from Oz (which will be for sale in my Etsy store soon).

It was SO much fun and the costumes were a huge hit - especially Willy Wonka!

FANDOM FEST in LOUISVILLE

We have been in a frenzy around these parts, working hard to prep for Fandom Fest.  My Mom is going to arrive in a few hours and tomorrow she'll be driving with us to Louisville, KY for Fandom Fest!  We are terribly excited for this opportunity for our alter egos, Violet Patterson and Trace Broyles.  Kharmic Chaos will be represented via costumes and a few random items (bookmarks and theme-appropriate coffee clutches).  Stay tuned, we will definitely have more, we've just been really busy crafting and prepping for Fandom Fest!!

Fandom Fest

New bag in the team store ~ Another Buckeye tote

It's more feminine and I think pretty darn cute.  I am seeing it in more than just team colors but for now, it's a stylish way to show your team spirit anywhere!

Team shop day 2 - OSU tote bag

How about a team tote bag?  Pockets on the inside, block 'O' on the side complete with felt buckeye :)  This one is available now - I'll have it at the sidewalk sale in Grove City on Saturday - and I can do others via special order.  Oh, and I will do one more before Saturday with black lining instead of the white I used for this one.

New team gear - OSU skirt for little girls :)

So, after last week's sidewalk sale I opted to purchase some Buckeye fabric and launch my "team" line.  I can do these in any colors and if the fabric is available, I can do specific team fabric.  This particular skirt is lined with an elastic waist and is a size 6.

Fish Tote Bag

Yes, another one of these bags, but they are so awesome and quite popular at this point so I'm expanding my options.  I really love this one!!  This is a really pretty brown with light blue polka dots and a cool retro print lining.
