I finished up two more dresses from another Simplicity Pattern (5785). It’s getting a little easier and I think I’m getting faster. Maybe. And although she has changed her mind a dozen times on her costume, I started my 3 year old’s Tinkerbell dress for Halloween. For my 5 year old, I’ll just be mending a few tears in a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz dress that was given to us by Grandma.
Today I went to the Renegade Craft Fair, which was really awesome. From the website: “Over 300 artists are traveling from all over the country to participate and sell their handmade goods: from clothing and accessories, to stationery and concert posters, with everything from bath-products, ceramics and housewares in between.” Wow! Organizers handed out a booklet with the names of all the participants and their websites so now I can check out every last one online : ) Pushing a stroller through that crowd was a little challenging, but honestly, it was just fun to be there with all those crafty folks. And the weather was gorgeous. Chicago is the greatest city.
* p.s. I bought a really cute headband with a felt heart from Get Felt Up.
