For those in the SF area, grab today’s SF Chronicle and turn to the Home and Garden section to see the interview by Nancy Davis Ko about my work and the upcoming American Craft Council show at Fort Mason this weekend! My first time selling at this national craft show, very exciting! The SFGate article is already online and there are so many  photos of my work and me in the studio, it’s fantastic!

Only a few more days to prep all the new work I’ll be bringing to the show, some of which were creatively captured by SF Chronicle photographer, Lea Suzuki. Come by this weekend and see more of what is hot off the bench. I’ll be in the Fort Mason FESTIVAL PAVILION up in the Mezzanine in the ALT CRAFT section.
WHEN: Friday, Aug 13, 10am-8pm, Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 10am-5pm.
ENTRY FEE: $12 admission for one day, $18 for 2-day pass. Come Friday after 5pm and only pay $5 (think wine bar and hands-on crafting with Etsy).

BIG NEWS–I’m going to be set up to take credit cards at the show (Visa, MC, Discover) and soon to implement on my website, thanks to ACC hooking me up with a Professional Membership and great rates with Payment Alliance. Hope to see you this weekend and look for my large pink banner…

I can hardly believe it’s been 2 months since I last posted, but here we are again, gearing up for another Accessorize with Toys crafting marathon! This weekend we’ll be at Renegade Craft Fair at the SF Fort Mason Festival Pavilion (the large building way out back by the water), 11am -7pm. This year the organizers have really upped the ante by making this much more than a crafting bazaar selling of wares. Upstairs in the Mezzanine will be a Craft Hub, which is where we’ll be, along with other hands-on workshops by SCRAP and Etsy! Food, drink, and even live music! Best of all, it’s FREE entry (’cause they know you’ll for sure spend some greenbacks once you’re in).

We’ll be doing decorative badges, keychains, and bracelets the entire weekend, so stop by and make something with us. As always, we encourage people to bring favorite parts and bits from home to make their creations extra personal. Like last year, we are asking for a $5 donation per project to cover our material and booth costs. However, if you bring us a DONATION of small Toy or Game PARTS, you get to make a FREE PROJECT.

Take a minute to check out the Renegade Craft Fair site (we’re the first on the list of artists/vendors!) to plan your course of crafting action for the weekend.
