Cross-shoulder bag in a paisley floral with blue top-stitching. The interior is a heavy duty canvas. I remember it took me a whole afternoon to hand stitch the button. You could carry a couple of books, a small laptop or tablet, a notepad, and more in thos roomy satchel! $90

I'm at the Yes Store in Santa Barbara this year! The store is at 101 Paseo Nuevo, across from Nordstrom. The booth is ready to go, but will evolve as we figure out a few things. The store is open every day from today (Nov 7) until Christmas Eve (excluding Thanskgiving Day). Tonight is opening party night! I've made raspberry crumble bars to share with guests, customers, and other artists. You should come down!! There will be live music and wine, too.

Keisha's Bobby redesigned my business card for the business. We kept Chris Nguyen's original hand-drawn logo because i love it!! And Bobby found a font that closely resembles Chris's handwriting for the word "makes." Now we just have to wait for the cards and sticker-labels to arrive in the mail (*nervously shaking leg*).

I don't feel bad about being bad at running a business. Capitalism stinks. The kind of person i have to be in order to be successful at business really pretty much disgusts me. My goal is to relish and nourish a craftsartisan life. Not to be a business owner.

I haven't posted in a long while due to moving and finishing up the school year. Today is the first day Arlo and I have made it to the Santa Barbara Beach Show in ages! We are out of practice, but we have one special order to fill and that is inspiring. Hopefully, I'll be able to post pics of my new,sewing space by the end of the week. Woot woot.

It's been awhile since I posted. We made it to the SB Beach Show today, but only for attendance credit. I may stop going to the show since gas prices are through the roof and I'm not making any money. I really love it down here, but my finances are just too tight to afford to go in the hole just for the privilege of dog watching down at the beach in Santa Barbara. I wish I could afford to keep doing this because I know people appreciate learning about what I make. Alas, until people actually start buying, I cannot put in the time to produce more product because I need to work to pay the bills

Arlo hurt his foot on our way to the Beach Show this morning so he is pretty much staying in his pouch. The sun is so nice, but the breeze has picked up. I had to lower the umbrella. It's okay, though. The breeze is chilly and so the extra sun is a nice antidote. Of course, a few sales would be an even better antidote... but I'll take what I can!

Down at the Santa Barbara Beach Show today. I have a few new items, including a purse-type bag and a small drawstring bag with a sunny disposition. The dog is not for sale, although i have been allowing people to snap his photo. I should probably charge for that. Lol.

Another Sunday, another Santa Barbara Beach Show! We won't be here next week because I will be in Atlanta at the NWSA meeting, but I will be traveling with some of my goods! If you will be in Atlanta at NWSA or ASA, track me down! I will be sans puppies, but I will have puppy pouches!!

Arlo came with us to the Beach Show. I'm still recovering from a severe sinus infection so it's been extra nice to have my cuddle bunny with me. He also makes an excellent model for puppy pouches because he literally just melts in to them. He's such a great companion that I don't care that I'm losing money being down here. (Have I mentioned that all I do is talk to people who "like the idea" of my work but dont actually have any interest in buying any of it? Also, I think I have paid money i can't afford just to hand out business cards. That's pretty much the only thing that moves from my booth. Business cards.)

After a week hiatus due to illness, I am back at the Santa Barbara Beach Show. I have a couple more puppy pouches (the grey plaid and the fuschia plaid), along with an assortment of in-progress pouches that need to be assembled. Keisha and Capt Jack stopped by for an hour or so of modeling. They did a beautiful job. Keisha is a much better salesperson that I, for sure!! And Jack makes riding around in a puppy pouch look like the bees knees! I really want some custom orders so I can justify setting aside more time for sewing. Teaching is just so time consuming.

I missed the Beach Show last Sunday, but I'm back again this week. Not that its bearing any fruit, but at least the scenery, the weather, and the parade of dogs is making my spirit feel a little less battered. Now that I'm back to work, it feels like sewing is going to suffer. If i were more stably employed, i would forgive the demands on my time. But, from a position of extreme precarity, i just resent the intrusion on my more creative and uplifting pursuits. We need to overthrow capitalism so that we all can carve out lives that make sense and increase happiness.
