Thanks to everyone who stopped by and saw me at the CHA Supershow last week! I had so much fun meeting many of you in person! I had the chance to purchase a tabletop display through the Craft Critique Handmade Pavilion. I even made my own display! Here is my sketch (sorry it's a little blurry, but you get the idea): And here is the finished display: The top frame was made with lightweight PVC pipes from Lowe’s and then I sewed the fabric canopy and cut out my logo and letters on my Cricut out of a gorgeous aqua satin material.

I had the wonderful opportunity a few weeks ago to film a short video segment for a local newspaper's online column (The Pioneer Press's Mommy on Shoestring).
