Bay Area Folks! Maker Faire, this weekend!

It's time! Saturday & Sunday, from 10-8 (10-6 Sunday).

I was there last year...and I'm not exaggerating at all to say this is my very favorite show.
Imagine if a state fair and a science fair had a baby that bore a strong resemblance to her craft fair cousin...and was awesome. Then you would have Maker Faire.
Just a few of the lovely folks you could meet:
Kristen Rask, the lady behind Plush You!
Needle member and all around cool chick: Danielle-o-rama!
Roxycraft! (Who will be doing a demo on how to make amigurumi...I hope I can make it to that. Definitely on my to-craft list!)
Bonnie Burton! Who will be teaching how to make Star Wars puppets!
(And...why yes, the Chickenpants will be there too. Weird coincidence!)
This is only the very tip of the iceberg...and only the tip of the crafty side of that iceberg. I won't mention all the amazing sciency-roboty-steampunky-foody makers who will be there...the list is just too long!
Okay. I think the exclamation point police are going to hunt me down for this post (!!!), so...I'll see you there!

Zippers & Tongues

I'm sitting at Spot Coffee at First & Last: Arts & Crafts...hoping for a sale by the end of the night (it's been pretty slow so far).

I finished up a new monster while I was here...



SURPRISE! He has a tongue!
The tongue was actually an afterthought. I'd set him out on my table after I was finished with him, and later, after I'd finished up another monster and was putting it out on the table, I looked at my zippermouth guy and thought "He needs a tongue!"

"Say Ahhhhh!"...I felt like I was giving him oral surgery!

If no one buys him tonight, I'll be listing him in my Etsy Shop.
