july 23 was Thee itty bitty Blazer Gala -part II Travulous a fashion review – musical experience held at The Bubble IWAN gallery in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It was a really fun fashion/ music/ art event. Travulous was the fabulous host of the evening with a David Bowie like style. Travulous had some original songs for the event that were magical. For the fashion show the walks went to David Bowie songs, it was really fun. I have never done something like this but this was such a fun event i just had to do it. I was a little nervous to walk down a runway but the bubble is like my second home so that made it easier plus we had fun props like bubble guns, hoola hoops and masks. I am really glad i did it and i didn't trip. The models got awesome funky hair styles by Destiny Squillante and makeup/ body art by Keegan Hitchock .

I drew this recycling kitty cat for the South Florida Swap-O-Rama that was at Trash to Treasure Creative Re-Use Center . It was put on by The Dirty Peaches Clothing Co who make clothing from 100% recycled, rescued, post-consumer or vintage materials. It was a super fun event where you bring in a bag of unwanted clothes and swap it for clothes you pick out at the swap. Then you got to go to one of the sewer/ designers and have your picks created into whatever you dreamed of. I had a flowery shoulder bag made from pajama pants and a scrap floral fabric and a tank top made with more of the floral scrap and string. Also you could have one of 3 winning designs screen printed on your items using the Yudu screenprinting machine. My recycling kitty was one of those designs and it was so cute and exciting to have the kitty on different crafted items. This was a two day event and at the end was a fashion show to show off the creations. Can't wait for more events from these crafty ladies. ...

When I was little my mom would take us there and it always felt like Disney world. It is a huge craft store filled of treasures. This event was on June 18th ( Etsy's birthday) and was meant to get crafty folks together to celebrate and be crafty together with those in your town and around the world. It was a great idea that was promoted on Etsy's storque and using Meetup.com to track the different meetups around the world. The top 50 received a goodie box from Etsy/ Readymade/ and Meetup, and we made the top 50! Woot, that was exciting. We had tons of fun at this party, the craft projects were create your own stamp, or sew a wristlet purse. The crafting supplies were picked up at a neat place here called Trash to Treasure a creative re-use center. I made the party hats and my friend Hollie of Blueberr...
