Cafe Handmade Featured Artist!

So, after applying to the awesome Cafe Handmade blog, KnittyKnittyBangBang won the chance to be a featured artist. Our day to shine is Monday, March 29th so check out www.cafehandmade.com for the blog and our feature!!!

We're knitting away as fast as we can. Janie and I are also putting our heads together to make a knock-out appearance at our very first craft show, the Cowtown Indie Bazaar in September '10. We're thinking fall afghans, winter socks, perhaps some naughty knit panties and Knit-it Kits.

More later lovies.

Take a Deep Breath, Now say "Ahhhhhh..."

And exhale.........

After all the craziness and excitement that circled around our heads during the Funky Finds Spring Fling on March 13th, I'm finally ready to blog again.

The FFSF was my first time to work a craft fair booth and it was a successful learning experience. Luckily for me, two of my hard-working fellow Esty FW teammates were there with me from beginning to end. Thank you to the crafty minds behind Christi's Creations (http://christidj22.etsy.com/) and MakaylaCreations (http://makaylacreations.etsy.com/) for the help!

Our Silent Auction baskets had so much cool stuff in them that people started to ask to buy things right out of the basket. Since the awesome Etsy FW members offered to donate their products that could have been sold in-shop, we were benefitting the Tarrant Area Food Bank with the proceeds from the Silent Auction. The executive decision was made at noon to difuse the Silent Auction and sell items from the baskets singly. We made a larger donation to the TAFB that way, and we all felt better about it. Plus, more people got the great stuff from Etsy FW creators that they wanted!

In the world of KKBB, I stumbled upon a website or an email or something that gave my shop the opportunity to be featured in a blog. http://www.cafehandmade.com/ is the blog that features artists and crafters every other day. It's exciting because I got to fill out a cool questionnaire that made me feel like a supa-stah! I also got to pick and choose some of my favorite photos of the items that Janie and I knit to send in for the feature. Thanks to Jill Johnson (http://www.jilljohnsonphoto.com/) I was able to make some simple decisions on which photos to choose. In past blog posts, its easy to pick out the professional photos from the one's Janie and I had attempted. Hey, we tried, but Jill is the ultimate expert!

March 29th is the Big Day for KKBB as we are the featured artist in the blog for Cafe Handmade. Go visit, be amazed, and don't forget to follow this awesome blog that is supporting artists, crafters, and designers. Hey, maybe YOU could wind up getting your shop featured there as well.

Happy First Day of Spring (even though that's three days away).
