Art Swap Update and More Real Numbers on Events

This past week was a doozy. Life at home is finally settling down but I had two events this weekend so I was not able to continue the decluttering. I was able to film myself opening the ACEO's I received from Abby Houston's Swap. I also made a second video giving a run down of the two events. If you get to watch the videos please leave a comment!

Here's where I'll be in the near future:

📍 Upcoming Events 🌈

  13187 Fitzhugh Rd, Austin (Dripping Springs) · 12–4pm

🧵 From the Worktable

This week I am concentrating on my decluttering and inventory build up. I do not have a fair this weekend but I do have a Craft Swap to go to. I need to declutter so that I can have something to take to the swap. I need to make shopping bags also because I am down to one so maybe I can record that process as well.

With thread and good intentions,
