Marin Handmade Fall Show

In April I joined the SF Etsy Street Team, a group of over 300 artists from the Bay Area who sell their art and craft work on Etsy.com. Team members have the opportunity to share news about upcoming shows to join in the Bay Area, organize team events, and much more I am unaware of yet. Myself and two other artists, Jen Spilly and Robin Stelling, got together to organize the first "Etsy" event in the North Bay Area. We'll have 12 local SF Etsy Members form the North Bay showing their work at Art Works Downtown, October 14th. I'll be posting updates and invites on my Facebook page as October gets nearer. In the meantime, for information check out our new Marin Handmade blog, created by yours truly, with the help of Robin and Jen: www.marinhandmade.blogspot.com.

Fresh Start

Heavy rain and wind two days ago yielded to a crisp, cold, sunny Saturday. It is a rare novelty when it snows around here, and reports say they had some in the valley of West Marin last night, but no evidence here on the Sausalito waterfront. Its looking like a good day to open up the studio and get organized again after hibernating for the past couple of weeks. I have two new-to-me Viking Husqvarna sewing machines, waiting to be used!
