Spring fashion!

So, it actually does feel kind of springy today in Chicago, even though it couldn't be any grayer. But, I found out yesterday that my peacock dress is in an Etsy contest for the best of spring fashion. If you have a minute, give me a click! The voting ends in 6 days.

Ladybird Johnson

This is a design for a Decemberists poster contest. The winner will get printed and used for their show at SXSW where they will peform "The Hazard of Love" (their new album) in entirety. Entirety? Is that a word? I think so. Anyway, apparentally they are obsessed with Ladybird Johnson, so that is why she is front and center.

Bunnies!

This is my second poster design for Genre-X, the 20's and 30's book club, hosted by the Oak Park Public Library. I love getting to come up with creative ideas when I'm given great themes to begin with. This one is for "Hop on Pop" a pop-culture trivia night that is free and sure to be lots of fun. I'll be there (on March 14th) with my husband where we can finally put all that reality tv to good use! For more info visit genre-x.com.

The fourth cutest thing on Etsy?

So, thanks to any of you who voted for my pink and red stripey sockdog. It was 4th out of the 60 cutest options (chosen by Etsy admin) for the "Season of Love" Voter on Etsy. Pretty exciting — it's now being featured in the children gift guide on Etsy.

The Handmade Market

My booth at The Handmade Market at The Empty Bottle in Chicago.

Thanks for everyone that stopped by my table at The Handmade Market on Valentine's Day. There was a great turnout on a beautiful sunny day. Lots of Bloody Mary's being served..I was right by the bar. Great spot!


My Lucky Socklets were definitely a best seller...I guess everyone needs some luck!

I'll be there next month also, and most likely all year. Its just so convenient being right down the street from me. I also met a new fabulous jewelry maker - Laura T. Lombardi, who has gorgeous multi-chain necklaces and earrings. And, my friend Alex from Supergirlart was there with her awesome silkscreened t-shirts and onesies. Hope to see you there next time - oh and make sure to get a homemade honey lavendar donut from Bite next door - they are amazing.

Heika's Hoody

Ok, so I feel that the ridiculous weather we've been having warrants me making my dachshund a hoody. I went to Joann's and found the cutest thermal print with colorful apples for the lining, and a nice green fleece to make it nice and snuggly. If there is one thing dachshund's love it is soft and warm things!

Renegade Display

I took some pics today of Renegade Handmade's window display, which includes a couple of Megan Lee Designs products. Yay! Looks like love is in the air.
