{busy...}

{vintage paper bobbins}

I have several major things coming up that I am going to be extremely busy preparing for.

I'm participating in my first craft show at the end of February.

I might be working on a wholesale order soon.

Trying to keep the shop stocked.

Making some lovelies for giveaways on different blogs.

All of the new fabric I bought yesterday is washed & ironed.

Waiting to be sorted out, cut, ruffled, sewn...

I need to order zippers and hair clips. And business cards.

Cut out a gazillion small circles for new blooms and petals.

I think as long as I can stay focused, I'll be okay. :)

In the meantime, any advice from my wonderful readers would be much appreciated.

How do you stay focused while working on projects?

{I'm very easily distracted...}

Have you ever done a craft show? What do I need to know?

Wholesale?

P.S. Many thanks to Libby for passing along this award to me!

Super Cute!

Have I ever mentioned that blog award excite me? Whenever I see an award post, and then I see my name? Excitement ensues. I mean, I know that in the scheme of things, bloggy awards won't really get you anywhere, but I still think they're fun to get and fun to give.

This particular award was passed on to me by Kelli at Sustaining Creativity. Thank you, Kelli! The rules of acceptance are pretty simple; pass it on to 10 other bloggers and let them know about it! Well, okay then...

(And these are in no particular order.)

Angel Face Designs--Heather is really sweet, she has an amazingly cute little girl, and she makes jewelry. How cool is that?!

Aunt Spicy--I always enjoy Aunt Spicy's posts. She's very creative, and I wish I could sew like her.

Becoming Briggs--People who write novels (or have novels in progress) are pretty amazing to me. Plus, she posts fun stuff like Not Me Monday's.

Diamonds, Fur and Laundry--Jenn is a sweet blogger, and it's fun to read about her life.

Erica's Bloggity Blog--I think Erica is really cool. Really.

Sparkle is my Crack!--Lisa Kate and I were lip gloss swap partners, and she does a lot of fun things (that I could never do) with makeup.

The Shabby Tiara--I love it when Suzanne posts a "Pink Saturday"!

Jack and Mandy - The Blog--Mandy's stories make me laugh, especially the ones about Jack. They're cute together (in my opinion).

Haus of Girls--What can I say? I live in a House of Girls, too!

Gussy has a lot to say.--I love Maggie's blog. And her Etsy shop. She's just all around amazing.

So there ya go! 10 bloggers that I enjoy, and now you can check them out, too!

When I posted about my "blog schedule" yesterday, I kind of forgot that Thanksgiving was this week; whoops! So there won't really be a schedule. We'll try for next week.
