Wowzers it’s been a long time since my last blog post! How to wrap up the year… New house and a wonderful baby girl named Lilly with several craft shows scattered throughout that time.
So now that things are “somewhat” settling down, Lilly is “somewhat” on a routine, this creative momma will be getting back into the studio. Well kinda back into the studio first I need to finish setting it up and then hopefully my hands will be holding a torch, wool, and heck throw in some beads and sequins too! That is of course if the lovely Lilly will agree to it. Which brings me to the point of this particular blog post, the balance of creating/being an artist and being a full time mommy (as I type as quickly and quietly as possible because I was able to sneak away from underneath her!). The princess will be 4 months soon (ok well she is four months now hahaha) so I know I still have a very big learning curve to handle and luckily I have the opportunity to make my own schedule (seriously I do not know how moms that have a 9-5 job do it! I applaud you!)… ok well that wasn’t long I will be back hopefully in a short bit, this crafting mommy is being beckoned!
Next Event ~ Several reasons why I am pretty excited about this weekend! To start its the first PA Guild Show at Rittenhouse Square in Philly (Friday May 11 – Sunday May 13 Booth 126). It will be a weekend of crafting with the Art Star Craft Bazaar happening as well. Don’t have something yet for your mommers? This is the perfect time to grab that last minute handmade gift or even better yet bring her out to the show on Sunday for a just you and her day! Show some love for your mommers this weekend…
My Little Peeplet ~ How exciting! We are having a little girl =D She is definitely swimming around quite a lot, apparently she’s just like her mama who doesn’t like to sit still for a moment! I can already tell that some of these shows I am signed up for are going to be a bit difficult not buying all sorts of things for her. Just very very excited for this peeplet to join our lives.
Craft Show Review ~ This past weekend was the first craft show of the year for wearableJULES at Crafty Balboa April Showers. This was the second year of attending the show and I have to admit its a lovely indie craft show. There are 45 vendors at the top of their game. The beginning of the show generally runs a little slow but by the last half traffic picks up (both years). This is not a huge money maker, but for the price of the booth + short hours + low overhead = a pretty good show to get your name out there and add a bit of cash for your business. Major downfall is parking… I was lucky enough to get a prime spot but last year took me 45 minutes to find a spot. All in all though I give this show a thumbs up and will hopefully do the show again next year.

So it has come to my attention that I have been slacking with wearableJULES and have not been posting or really in the studio for a bit. Yes I definitely needed a break from such a crazy year of many many shows and of course the Very Crafty Wedding. Which I do declare this has been long past due… some photos =D Check out the very sweet and kind words from Miville Photography.
Now onto the biggest news of all… If you couldn’t tell from the title, I will be having my very own little peeplet!! So super excited the due date is get this, our wedding was 9/10/11 and the due date is 9/11/12! How bizarre and wonderful. Right now I am 11 weeks and just starting to feel a little better. There you have it, the very much needed break of sleeping and taking care of my body. Within the next couple of weeks, and keeping my fingers crossed, this little peeplet will let me start working in the studio again with no nausea attached. There are lots of designs flowing through my head so get ready for them once my hands get back to creating.
There are shows lined up starting in May,
