Bay Area friends:

Don’t forget to come visit me in my booth this weekend at Renegade Craft Fair, SF! 11am – 7pm at Fort Mason.

The first 10 people to spend over $50 will get a special, crocheted, goldfish prize (to go with the carnival theme!).

There’s all this stuff I want to photograph and also blog about (like when Manda and I went to see NKOTB!), but I am full-on freaking out about prepping for Renegade, so for now, here’s a sneak peek at one of the patches I drew and am having made for my slushee drawstring bags! I made extras to sell separately, cuz I think I would just want this on my jacket!

This is just a digital proof that was emailed to me. I haven’t seen any of the 4 designs in person yet, and I hope they really are in fact COOL!

Oh my jeez! I’m so happy to finally be able to show you guys the fun photos we took at Cafe 50’s in LA! I’m usually in the habit of being lazy and just using myself to model my items, so it was fun and different to watch other people do it!

Thanks so much to Irene Yuen, our photographer,  Jessi Jae Joplin and Zilla 308, our adorable & cheerful models, and also the wonderful staff at Cafe 50’s who let us run around the place for a few hours! I was worried we would bug the people eating there, but I think generally people were curious and thought the girls were in a band!

I am actually on the look-out for Yummy You! models in the SF Bay Area for local shoots of upcoming products. If you are interested and able to get yourself to places from San Francisco to San Jose, depending on shoot locations, please drop me a line with a link to your portfolio!

Here’s a few shots of my current mani!! I was trying to have more control over my polka dots, and I think I am sorta getting better at them

Sorry about my really dry hands and horrible cuticles! I keep hand lotion everywhere and in my purse, too, but nothing really seems to help that much. I should try cuticle oil or rubbing Vitamin E on them or something, but…yeah, I’m probably not prioritizing that right now! Countdown to Renegade Craft Fair! EEEP!

Here’s another sneak peek at something new I’ll have at my booth at Renegade Craft Fair, San Francisco, July 27-28, in Fort Mason!

These are going to be pins/brooches, and I’m gonna try suspending them in real pet-fish plastic baggies.

I’ll be giving away 10 fishies to the first 10 customers who spend over $50.00. Or something like that. We’ll see!
