I just registered to vend at the Uptown City Fair. I didn't go last summer, as I wasn't here, so I'm not really sure what to expect. I'm really hoping it isn't really going to be in the mid-90s like I saw on the news last night - that wouldn't be cool...

I'm at work right now, and I'm plotting in my head some things to make before Saturday morning. I've got a few ideas and will be very busy until Saturday morning.

Here are a few things that I may or may not have:

Silk screened potholders - I love that dancing radish, it's from an old embroidery pattern.

Bird pins - sadly even though they're made of felt, I've left more than one on a sweater when I've washed it. I can say that even though they shrink a bit, they're machine washable as they haven't yet fallen apart (and I know at least one of my pins has been through the wash a bunch of times).

Hair fasteners.

And lastly, my latest obsession - purses!

Actually, I lied a bit - my latest crafting obsession is English paper piecing. I alternately hate it and love it becuase it's small and portable which I love, but it's also completely sewn by hand -

I work on it every night whilst watching tv. I also bring the fabric scraps, paper pieces, needle and thread with me everywhere in hopes on getting some more hexagons done so I can make the quilt grow. It's about 2' by 1.5' right now. I suspect it will take forever.

Anyway, I hope to see some of you there. If you do go and you see me, please introduce yourself.
