Happy Monday!

It's Crochet Month over at U.K. crafty blog The Making Spot who kindly asked me to offer some stories and inspiration. I try to think of new and different anecdotes for you guys in various interviews, so check out The Making Spot to find out what an Onion Head is :P

P.S. to complete your visual while reading, Boxburg was made out of a bunch of recycled refrigerator boxes that all the kids painted and decorated by themselves. I believe mine was sky blue with painted grass on the bottom and a white fence! I don't remember what all the boxes/businesses looked like, but I do remember that one of the most popular ones was a video arcade, where one boy brought in some sort of video game system (this was the 80s) and all the boys huddled in this tiny box! I also remember my friend Jeanette's business, which was a beauty salon. She painted my nails and we gossiped! It was super fun but was also meant to be educational, as we also learned about capital, taxes, gross profit, net profit. Pretty cool, right? Wish I had a picture!

On Monday, I was the Featured Entrepreneur at Launch.Grow.Joy , a cool website for entrepreneurs who want to read other business-owners' stories and learn neat tips about how to improve your product-based business. Honestly, at first I thought the site was going to be stuffy and business-y and not for me, but I really like the site and already learned a thing or two! Please do check it out!

I decided to apply for and vend at Bust Magazine's Craftacular and Food Fair! It will only be my 2nd time traveling for a craft fair, so I hope everything goes smoothly!

I'm bringing Manda as my assistant, since she's never been to NYC before. Should be a blast. Mark your calendars and please come say hi! ;)

Sometimes blogging can feel overwhelming, so I take a break from it, and then feel guilty about it for some reason! AH!

Anyway, I have finished shipping out all your Halloween goodies, and soon, we will be on to Thanksgiving....and Christmas! Wheee!!!

In the meantime, I am working on a new crochet painting for Locketship's anniversary party, art show, and launch party for their new collection Galactic Glitter. The theme is SPACE!

Here is a sneak animated gif of what I'm crocheting up! I wish the real thing could also wiggle and blink, but....yarn can only do so much!

p.s. you can still buy MUMMY MITTS which I discounted, and peeps in the continental U.S. can still get them by Halloween, but probably only if you order today and tomorrow :).
