...was a huge success! My apologies for not updating my blog after so long! Life has been full! Good, but FULL. Not including my recent trip to Japan for 9 days and came back with a suitcase full of AMAZING japanese fabrics! aaaaahhhh!!!!

| My friend took this photo of my area while it was being set up....I had forgotten to take a picture of it with my SLR, so this is all I have...a bit messy, but you get the idea! : p |
After many months of sewing/designing/stressing and more trips to the fabric store than I'm willing to count or admit to (was it every weekend for weeks on end?), I finally unveiled all the hard work at the Pixar craft fair the past 2 days. Woohoo!
Boy, I am exhausted, but grateful! Grateful for the opportunity to work towards something that I am so passionate about. Grateful for the chance to showcase all the hard work I have put into this...with a full time job and a budding toddler, it has been difficult finding any kind of spare time to create. And yet, without it, I am simply not complete...somehow the scale is tipped, and I am off-balance. My happiness is dependent on my finding that "perfect" balance of life, work, and art.
Ok, getting all philosophical here. Hee hee. I'm simply giddy from all the interactions with such wonderful people that came by my booth the last 2 days! All their support and even when they were simply admiring, all that meant so much to me.
My camera died this morning as I photographed the last couple of bags I had sewn in a week after getting back from Japan (those fabrics were so amazing that I had to kill myself to make them into the craft fair--and honestly, I think THEY made the show), so I'm going to post a portion of what I had at the fair these past few days...
