Felt-Up Pillows

More of what is keeping me busy this week...

The Felt-Up Punk Rawk Pillows are ready for their debut this Sunday. 

Each pillow has a color coordinated set of hearts stitched onto their cute little backsides. How do you like their little name tags? Yeah, I love 'em too.  

Fingers crossed that they sell out at the event & that I have to make a whole new batch for my Etsy shop. Either way, I should have some in the shop by the end of next week. 

That's all for now! 

What kind of colorful fun have you been up to?

A Busy Bee Be Me

Here is just one of the many things that is keeping me from being able to write up all of the fabulous blog posts that I have been dreaming up for you guys this week. I am most excited to share with you some tips about marketing and promoting your blogs and Etsy shops. So stay tuned for that next week, and please enjoy pretty pictures posts for now. 

This is one of the pillow styles that I will be debuting at the Hecho Local Market this Sunday. I am particularly proud of the labels, also handmade by me. I will share a photo tomorrow of the other styles that I have coming up. & Yes, they will be coming to my Etsy shop as well.

If you are a Bay Area local I will be looking for you on Sunday at the handmade market. If you aren't Bay Area bound... then be sure to shop handmade wherever you are this weekend!

Event:: Hecho Local

Just one week from today I will be peddling my crafty goods at this awesome event in the Mission District of San Francisco, just one block from the 16th Street BART station.  

There will be live music, fashions shows, tons of crafty vendors, a raffle, and even face painting for the kiddos!  Being in 'The Mish', there are tons of amazing places to eat, including Reaction Restaurant right next door to the gallery, which I am told is tasty-awesome! (I will have coupons to Reaction Restaurant to share w/ the first 12 people who stop by my booth) 

But wait! There's more!

☟

From PuNk rAwk pUrL you can expect to see:: 

• A few new lines not yet available in my Etsy shop
• Special Show Pricing
• A lovely new felty banner that I have been stitching up
• Lot's of goofy smiles and my silly glam rock haircut. 

RSVP to the event if you'd like. Or... just show up & surprise me. 

I'll see ya' next Sunday!
