June has been intense, and I am still absorbing all the impressions and learnings from my 5 days in Milwaukee for the Bead & Button Show and Now That’s a Jig! Training. I have photos to edit and recaps to write, but need a little time to settle before launching back into my routine. So, […]
A year or two ago a friend invited me to the Berwyn Craft & Vintage Market, and I finally applied. So once I return from Bead & Button, I will pack up my stakes and ornaments to explore this new-to-me suburb. The Craft & Vintage Market is slated for Saturday, June 16 from 10 AM to […]
June is exciting and exhausting. I just recovered from the Hermosa ArtShow along with the Evanston Art Events this past weekend. I needed some auditory isolation after the onslaught of openings and non-stop music for 2 days. Now I am gearing up for Milwaukee, where I will be teaching at the Bead & Button show […]
I love the Main Dempster Mile and had a blast at the Sauce Walk. I set up at Dietrich 21, a fitness studio I pass by but had not set foot in until our Sauce Walk Pairing. Agnes took a plethora of photos, so this is quite a well-documented pop-up. Yoga teacher Gina had fun […]
Phew, It’s been major prep time for me this past week. Fresh off the Sauce Walk I had to pick out my pieces for the Evanston Made Pop Up Shop. Then I was asked to bring some pieces to Nasty Women as well. So, in addition to the Hermosa ArtShow this weekend, I’ll be spending […]
The first weekend of June is full of artsy events. I will be spending my afternoons at the Hermosa ArtShow. The Hermosa ArtShow is on Saturday, June 2 from 12 to 5 p.m. and Sunday, June 3 from 12 to 5 p.m. in the Auditorium at the Kelvyn Park Fieldhouse, 2nd floor at 4438 W […]
Next month the Bead & Button Show returns to Milwaukee. I love going bead shopping there, and this year I will also be teaching. This year, Brenda Schweder of Now That’s a Jig! Fame will offer 20 in-booth workshops. The Now That’s a Jig! Booth, number 907, will be teeming with wire designers who will […]
Mid-May was a whirlwind of pop up fairs. On May 9 I returned to the Ravenswood Covenant Church for their second annual Mother’s Day Gift Market and had a lovely time. This time I remembered to bring my own table! I had fun accommodating all the new stakes I had been making, and my bees got […]
Last week I cleared off my studio table and started organizing the debris on there. Of course my sofa is covered with it now, but at least I have clear work surface for the time being. I have a variety of ideas for new creations, and last week I was nudged to create a bee […]
This week is all about Evanston pop-ups. Thursday evening I will be at D21 for the Evanston Sauce Walk, and Friday I head over to Creative Coworking for another fun evening of libations, treats and gorgeous art. This month’s featured artists are Itala and James Merriner. I’ve admired Itala’s work before and look forward to […]
