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,

This weekend is the Pennsylvania Guild Fine Craft Fair! I am really excited for this one because first, this is wearableJULES second time appearing at this show and secondly, the craft fair is being held at the Lancaster Convention Center. The building is gorgeous, it’s right in downtown Lancaster (plenty of parking either on street or in garages), and of course there are great places to grab lunch and make a day at the show. There is still time to save $2 on your tickets so go HERE to get yours today. Make sure to come say hello, check out the new Sputnik Pins & Necklaces, the new Berry Line (Necklaces Bracelets & Mix Match Earrings), and of course Santa Peep-Peeps will be making their first appearance of the season.

Maybe it’s just me but over the weekend it felt like it was mid November with all the snow… I did get to throw a few snow balls at my husband, which he did not appreciate but I sure did! And there was still some snow to be seen on my favorite holiday (besides my birthday, and yes its a holiday to me) which happened yesterday! Oh Halloween how I love you! I know Halloween has passed, but as a special treat, some of the Spooky Peeps are on sale until November 8th. Get yours now and be peeped out for next Halloween. Click HERE to check out your Spooky Peeps.
The next show will be the Pennsylvania Guild Show at the Convention Center, November 12 & 13. Santa Peeps will be available just in time for this Holiday Season. When you buy your tickets online by November 10 you will save $2! Come out and start your holiday season right… support handmade local artists.

Wow, it feels like forever since I have blogged, but lets get right into it! First things first~
The Very Crafty Wedding~was absolutely amazing, and let me tell you, the fact that the wedding was so “us”, artsy & quirky, we (my now husband woowoo and myself) have been told we had the best wedding by far! So go with your gut and do things your way. It may be a little more work, but the fact we did things “non-traditional” (Asian food, I-pod hooked up to our computer, etc.) our guests had a complete blast. It was a wonderful feeling to see everyone having so much fun and letting loose. I can’t wait for our photos because I will be putting some up for everyone to check out.
Next Show!~ wearableJULES will be attending for the first year The Craft Show at the Academy Art Museum Friday October 21 to
