I'm pretty sure my lungs are full of wool and my muscles have begun to atrophy from sitting all day on my sewing machine, but its' all coming together! Every day I'm crossing more and more off my list and it feels really good :P &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is a coupon to save a few dollars off you tickets, and make sure you come visit me at Booth X-33!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PfzwixUg8-g/TryYF5Cj-II/AAAAAAAAAUQ/yJPS_vqFHNo/s320/ADwjune.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673576857558317186" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the show I immediately have to come home and make all my christmas presents and start packing! I'm moving to a new place, a whole house! I'm going to have so much storage I can't wait. I love my place right now, but actually having a living room that is not storage will be so awesome, plus I'll have a yard! I will be able to BBQ!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So something that keeps me going when I'm super busy are awesome videos like this :) Henry in his Super Henry cape, which he actually wears in just his underwear calling himself Captain Underpants. With his little shadow Jack who copies everything he does. I'll be making him a cape for this year :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-c986fad15afbb883" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v24.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc986fad15afbb883%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331279780%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D80DB19EA5D9C7C10A865D1FA4A3622F92F8A90D1.1B71B491667CE93FB40E76A916357C451601E94E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc986fad15afbb883%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DEXQk5GzL6dEk16m65Hitdt6YOTQ&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v24.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc986fad15afbb883%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331279780%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D80DB19EA5D9C7C10A865D1FA4A3622F92F8A90D1.1B71B491667CE93FB40E76A916357C451601E94E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc986fad15afbb883%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DEXQk5GzL6dEk16m65Hitdt6YOTQ&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2121990357515052285-5952925725925062320?l=nakedsewing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/feeds/5952925725925062320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2011/11/its-almost-time.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/5952925725925062320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/5952925725925062320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2011/11/its-almost-time.html' title='It&apos;s almost time!'/><author><name>Hilary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00045686384310978694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PfzwixUg8-g/TryYF5Cj-II/AAAAAAAAAUQ/yJPS_vqFHNo/s72-c/ADwjune.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121990357515052285.post-2976522562636467412</id><published>2011-09-24T22:56:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-24T23:08:33.627-04:00</updated><title type='text'>This summer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;So I spent a lot of time this summer procrastinating :) Which means I had a great summer, but will be totally swamped for the next couple of months getting ready for the One of a Kind Show. Every time I finish a show I swear I'm going to be more organized, I don't know why I bother trying to fool myself :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I did a couple of shows this summer with my new booth set-up, which is basically a smaller version of my One of a Kind set-up. I think it looked pretty awesome, actually almost too awesome as a LOT of people stopping at my booth had more to say about my trees than my owls, but they do look pretty cool :) Make me really appreciate all the help I've had from my dad, I can't imagine what it would look like without him.. even my past setups were only possible because he made my super light-weight folding tables.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zs3uP2Q6HHg/Tn6aSkzavMI/AAAAAAAAATw/q-PWiDokm7I/s320/IMG_0752.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656127825931582658" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KDhPScOK8Zo/Tn6aSp6G_pI/AAAAAAAAAT4/1WVBPWVPi88/s320/IMG_0753.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656127827301826194" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The other exciting new thing is squirrels! I've finally finished the squirrel pattern. As much as I actually hate real live squirrels (I have to have friends retrieve my walls for my shows due to a squirrel) I think the stuffed squirrel is pretty cute. I'll take better pictures soon and get them up on Etsy. They are double sided so each one has two different fabrics on the tail. They take a bit longer to make than the owls so although I have them priced at $60 for now I think they may go up a bit soon, I haven't totally decided yet. And no baby squirrels yet, but I think that'll be a January project.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C6H4WbefVuo/Tn6aS-f8AcI/AAAAAAAAAUA/tlDd868LFNI/s320/IMG_0754.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656127832829198786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-10nX9KXYBYE/Tn6aTBWtGiI/AAAAAAAAAUI/uJ72h2NVj8Y/s320/IMG_0755.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656127833595779618" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, that's all for now..

It never really seems like it's going to be that much work, but after 10 hours of sitting in a tent smiling and chatting with strangers it can be quite exhausting. I love doing it, don't get me wrong, but I always seem to need a few days afterwards to re-coop.  Especially after lugging all my stuff back up 3 flights... next apartment will definitely be ground floor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best part about doing shows, is trading. I have collected some really awesome works of art in the last two years, so much that I really have no wall space left. But I keep wanting more! This weekend I met &lt;a href="http://earlbeadle.blogspot.com/"&gt;Earl Beadle&lt;/a&gt;, he had the coolest booth I think I've ever seen, complete with dangling wooden squirrels and mannequin hands protruding from logs. It was completely inspiring and I absolutely loved everything in his booth. Lucky for me he liked my stuff too :) So here is my new piece, I love it and can't wait to hang it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/TDubG_AXwTI/AAAAAAAAARo/xQVvVaWwlFA/s1600/Photo+948.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/TDubG_AXwTI/AAAAAAAAARo/xQVvVaWwlFA/s320/Photo+948.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493154714802962738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I get to settle in for a summer of sewing. I have two shows in September and the One of a Kind in November. Lots of stuff to make but if I keep my head down and work hard I think I'll make it. That is of course after this week, since I'll be in Ottawa for Bluesfest :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2121990357515052285-5525383741362834345?l=nakedsewing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/feeds/5525383741362834345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/07/some-of-craziness-has-ended.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/5525383741362834345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/5525383741362834345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/07/some-of-craziness-has-ended.html' title='Some of the craziness has ended!'/><author><name>Hilary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00045686384310978694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/TDubG_AXwTI/AAAAAAAAARo/xQVvVaWwlFA/s72-c/Photo+948.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121990357515052285.post-3184656965348409576</id><published>2010-06-06T22:49:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-06T23:03:56.413-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Falling behind</title><content type='html'>So this was an exciting week.

I'm too used to leaving it all to the last minute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have worked on this one little guy. The plan is that I will create my little critters and then &lt;a href="http://beautifuldayto.com/index2.php"&gt;Tracy Olan&lt;/a&gt; will take some pictures of them in a setting... kind of like a little diorama, but not as dorky as that sounds.. at least I hope not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the owl is finished, but the mouse is just a test guy, but I like him.

I have a photographer coming to my 'studio' today to take a picture of me in my space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm a GIANT packrat. I come by it honestly, my dad has boxes of salvaged switches wires, casters and so on. He still has the old cedar planks from his childhood bookshelves.  Unlike my dad however, I have zero skills when it comes to organizing, and a complete inability to put things away when I'm done with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways.. so this photo shoot kicked me into gear and I have spent the last few days slowly tidying and I think it's paid off... I've never seen my room like this, and probably never will again, but it feels so good to have it done at least once!

I framed it in an old window, I love the old paint chipping off :)&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/S5Bqrfpy7lI/AAAAAAAAAOo/fqIFjtj_DjA/s1600-h/DSCN2545.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/S5Bqrfpy7lI/AAAAAAAAAOo/fqIFjtj_DjA/s320/DSCN2545.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444969244954652242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2121990357515052285-4732675675051586143?l=nakedsewing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/feeds/4732675675051586143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/03/starbucks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/4732675675051586143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/4732675675051586143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/03/starbucks.html' title='Starbucks'/><author><name>Hilary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00045686384310978694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aEVmCPRshWI/S5Bqrfpy7lI/AAAAAAAAAOo/fqIFjtj_DjA/s72-c/DSCN2545.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121990357515052285.post-4010381333308954669</id><published>2010-02-22T15:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-22T15:04:27.010-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bird pillow...</title><content type='html'>So I've been thinking lately, what's my next thing?

I think the most challenging part will be working with other people. Mostly because sewing is such a solitary trade, as I'm sure most other mediums are, but I am really excited and can't wait to get started! I hope I get to pick up some new tricks and maybe a new medium?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the &lt;a href="http://www.ktownartists.ca/kollaboration.cfm"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt; to see who is participating, and we also have a &lt;a href="http://kollaborationkingston.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; to post any ideas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2121990357515052285-7990539997913589581?l=nakedsewing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/feeds/7990539997913589581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/02/kollaboration-kingston.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/7990539997913589581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2121990357515052285/posts/default/7990539997913589581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nakedsewing.blogspot.com/2010/02/kollaboration-kingston.html' title='Kollaboration Kingston!'/><author><name>Hilary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00045686384310978694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121990357515052285.post-3781272991881610368</id><published>2010-02-20T23:02:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-20T23:21:28.993-05:00</updated><title type='text'>It's been too long!</title><content type='html'>So I haven't been very good this year with my blog... bad Hilary.
