Pretty in Turquoise!

ACC Wrap-Up

The bustle and light and beauty that filled the convention center has been emptied. It was a long week for all of the exhibitors and buyers for sure, but worth it. It was totally worth the months of preparation, the problem solving and stress leading up the the show.

I am humbled by the amount of customers who stopped in to tell me how much they love the Sweet Pepita pieces they bought last year. I really don't think there is any compliment greater. And just as good as it was to see familiar faces, it was a pleasure to see new ones, too. We met some really beautiful people this week and I can't wait to tell you all about them.

I feel so hopeful after spending this much time with so many artists and makers. We all have our own visions for the objects in our lives, be them functional or not. And this is what makes human beings ingenious. This is what makes our future really exciting.

Loop Dee Loop

All Organic Kid Warmers. Pepita asks for leg warmers nearly every day. She knows it's cold out there! Loop Dee Loop warmers are roomy enough to layer over leggings or pants. They have a nice slouch and a great look and feel!



See more at the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore next week. We're in booth 319!

It's Amost Been a Year Now

It's hard to believe so much time has past since I had the chance to exhibit in the Alt Craft section of the American Craft Council show. If you would have told me that I'd be there in 2010, too, on the main floor, I might not have believed you. But here I am.

I posted this story last year, just about this time, but I thought it would be worth posting again. I love that we all have a story behind what we do. So when you're walking the aisles at ACC next week, you might ask your favorite artist to share theirs...


I must admit that when Tina Seamonster asked me to contribute to the Hello Craft Podcast series, I had to freak out a little. Talking on answering machines is one of my big fears. I know, it sounds weird, but I so need to actually see the person I'm talking to, otherwise it feels like I'm just talking to myself.

I literally forced myself to speak, but I'm so glad I did. Thank you, Hello Craft, for the opportunity to share our story!

Portrait of a Wild Thing

This is Carol. He says "Max, what are you doing? KW is behind me."

I knew it was a fuzzy Wild Thing before she even told me. So Proud.
