working hard!

i've been working really hard to build up my inventory for December since i will now be doing two shows: Holiday Shop-n-Stroll and Rock-n-Shop. i decided to do Rock-n-Shop again at the Black Cat because it was my VERY first show. it certainly opened some doors for me and i met some really great people that have become my good friends (Oh Ginger & This Chickadee).

ok, so no more sappy stuff, lets get to the photos!



don't get your hopes up guys! some of these are actually custom orders!



big cookies that will be sold individually



and of course the bacon ornaments. it wouldn't be a Pretty Little Fings Christmas without these guys!

i am still thinking about putting some of this stuff up on ETSY, it's just a matter of making some time to do so. hopefully i can update the shop sometime next week. i'll keep you posted!

new & better?

so i ran into an obstacle the other day at the fabric store...they didn't have the color fleece that i've been using for the sugar cookies, so i had to improvise on the spot and go with another color. there was no way i was keep looking for the fabric and waste time when Holiday Shop-n-Stroll (check out my vendor Q & A) is in two weeks!! yikes!

i chose a very very light light tan (think cream) and honestly, i don't think it turned out so bad. i mean, cause sugar cookies are pretty little in comparison to the rest, right?





these guys are a little more on the time consuming side since i sew on the beads one at a time. the little ones are ok, but the bigger cookie is a doozy! luckily, i was watching the finale of Project Runway as i was sewing, so it was all good. i really loved Carole Hanah's collection, but Irina's collection was so well put together! did you watch it? what did you think?

Foto Fun Friday

(isen't she just the cutest?!)

if you're wondering why Remy has a yarn pom pom on her head. it's because i'm actually working on a side project (slowly). i was reading the Bleubird blog (hearts, hearts, hearts!!!), and feel in love with the cuddly D.I.Y. pom pom wreath. i mean, look at it!! i just want to cuddle with it!!

Ms. James made the tutorial SUPA easy!! so really, anyone could do it! i am working on it a little at a time (making the pom poms at the restaurant while we are slow)...so i should be done by Christmas...ok, ok, by Thanksgiving.

well, i hope everyone has a good Friday. i am feeling under the weather, AGAIN, so i'm am keeping myself medicated. it's going to be a busy weekend for me. tonight, J and i are treking down to Baltimore to see Dan Auerbach's solo show (frontman of the Black Keys). J is super stoked because he loves them ...he has been talking about this show forever! i am excited about his opening act Jessica Lea Mayfield. i hope i feel better by the time we get there. who wants to feel lousy during a show! i know i don't!!! Sunday, my cousin Kelly is coming over! and i am scheduled to have a photo shoot with my friend and her dogs. CUTE! i'm a little nervous because i've never had to deal with people and pets at the same time (except J and Remy, but they are easy).

my shedule is hectic right now with work (s), crafting (Handmade Holiday Shop-n-Stroll), and photography (totally taking off, i just booked another session for the following weekend, and i think i will be helping my favorite local photographer with her shoot the weekend after that! woo!), but i feel so blessed! i feel thankful for the support system that i have and the opportunities life has been throwing my way. tired and stressed or not, this is good for me. (sorry to get so mushy all of the sudden)

thanks to all!

have a great/safe weekend!

sticks? check!

pickles? double check!

the WhozitWhatzits, originally uploaded by pangalang.

i've decided to make more of these cute little FINGS and J dubbed them the WhozitWhatzits...mainly because they are whatever you prefer them to be! you can find them this Saturday at the Street Fest!

another reason to love Shepherdstown

because i know you guys will be coming to Shepherdstown for the Street Fest next Saturday,
i thought i'd tell you a little about what you can find here...

yesterday i had the pleasure of meeting some really nice people, a husband and wife duo and the owners of a new jewelry store in town, Plum. cute name right? it doesn't stop there! inside, you'll find an array of wonderful indie jewelry, some hand crafted by Cari right in front of your eyes!

(how neat!)
(Cari works with sterling silver and uses stamps on them. like this bracelet above!)
and on the walls, you'll see brightly colored pieces floating around the store.

that's on paint people! it's photographs by David!

(Flock by David Rosen)

intrigued? get a load of what the storefront looks like...

so simple, crisp, and beautiful!

what do you think? see you next week!

Pile of Craft!

Pile of Craft is happening right now at St. John's church in Charm City!!! so if you're tired of staying in from the rain with nothing to do, why not shop indoors!! who knows, you might find a special something for your dad!

(how lovely! wish i was there in person!)

my favorite birdie is going to be there!

why it's this Chickadee of course! and did you know that she took/sent these
pix via her iphone. so handy.

best wishes today, Becks!!

I'm Nervey!

it's less than 24 hours until the artist fair at Downtown Live tomorrow and i'm absolutely filled with jittery butterflies and excitement. last night Lacey and her boyfriend came over for come dinner and a "mock up" session. after dinner, Lacey and i did some last minute sewing and tag making while the guys bonded, and then pitched a 10 x 10 canopy in my bedroom (cause it was dark outside!). not only that, we set up our table and products.

at first we totally thought that we were going to embarrassed ourselves by not having enough things to fill the tent with, but we were completely surprised. now we are both nervous and excited at the same time.

so if you happen to find yourself around this area, please come visit us at our booth. and lets cross our fingers that it won't rain.
