I've applied for two craft fairs in Folsom (one end of October and one early December), we'll see if I'm accepted. I applied for the Crocker Art Museum Holiday Craft Fair and I haven't heard from them yet. That's the first juried show I've ever applied to, so I'm really anxious! I'll also be doing the Lodi Street Fair on October 2nd. If I don't get into the Folsom craft fair on Dec 3rd, I'll be doing one in Granite Bay instead. I'll also be doing Second Saturday at Midtown Bazaar in November and December. Gearing up for all that, I have been trying to make more things, and have been totally slacking on getting them photographed and listed in my online shops. maybe this weekend... :)
Meanwhile, here's the most recent treasuries (Etsy) and collections (ArtFire) my items have been featured in!
Monday Night Stripes - featuring my striped beanie
Red - featuring my red beanie
Simply Sapphire - featuring my midnight moon crystal and pearl cluster earrings
and Handmade Crochet Lace - featuring my chunky lace shawl

I have been frantically creating and making new things. I have 8 knotty silk necklaces waiting for clasps, a new Renee 3-strand pearl necklace in natural white freshwater pearls waiting for a clasp, another Renee 3-strand pearl necklace started in peacock blue-gray pearls, a new smaller cape/shawl in the same lovely pattern as the one currently listed in my shops is almost done, a new rectangular lacy shawl in a lovely color-change yarn, a new scarf in the absolute softest white fluffy yarn I've ever touched is almost done in a cute chain of hearts crochet pattern, and I just finished another basketweave scarf in this fabulous bamboo blend yarn in pinks and whites. So new stuff is coming soon, I promise!

Collection and New Items and Craft Fairs
My BasketWeave Scarf is featured in a new ArtFire collection -YAY! called "Men in Charcoal" and you should view it and comment it and tweet it and see all the other lovely things in the collection!
Also, I've been getting new items listed in my Etsy shop recently, with many more to do too! I'll get those things listed in my other shops this weekend (I HOPE!) so check out my Etsy shop now and all my other ones soon to see the new items.
I have reserved my spot for the Lodi Street Faire on October 2nd - so come on down and see me there! When I know my booth number and approximate location, I'll post it here. It's my first time doing this particular Faire. It's just the one day, from 8am til 4pm, and they have over 700 vendors and 25,000-30,000 shoppers! SO exciting! I gotta print a bunch more business cards before that event...
I also submitted my application for the Crocker Art Museum Holiday Art and Craft Festival. It's a pretty big deal, runs all weekend after Thanksgiving, and it's a juried show - which I've never done before. What that means is I apply, submit pictures of my work, and hope they judge me to be good enough for their show (or enough of what they're looking for). I will hear about that in August, I think. So when I find out, you dear readers will be the first to know! I hope I get in - I'm a bit nervous having my work judged.
I also inquired about another smaller craft faire in Sacramento in early November - if I get into that I'll be sure to post about it here too!
In preparation for all these craft fairs, I actually planned out all the new items I'll be making and I am gonna be BUSY! But I love doing it so I'll also be happy! :)

Christmas in July and Reader's Discount
Hey All! Starting now through the end of July, all my beaded ornaments will ship for free from my ArtFire shop - celebrating Christmas in July! I have 4 more that are made but not photographed and listed - I'll get those up this weekend if I can, or 4th of July weekend. In other news, I'm nearing the end of my Capstone Project (master's thesis) Proposal and almost have it all worked out and approved. I need to present it to my adviser and classmates the first week in July (online web meeting - I LOVE my online program through Penn State's World Campus!) so that may interfere with getting the new ornaments listed. But I'll try! I have to finish the last round of edits on my Proposal (it's about 2200 words and shaping up WELL, I'm really proud of myself) and make the PowerPoint presentation I'll give the first week of July. Then I might get a week or two off of school to do crafty things - more ornaments and getting the rest of what I've already made listed in my shops! And in case anyone is wondering, the coupon code 15BLOG is good in my Etsy, ArtFire, Yatimi and Zibbet shops. Groove Press doesn't have the option of coupon codes yet, but I'll add one there as soon as I can. So you can get your special "Blog Reader's Discount" in most of my online shops.

Holiday Weekend Productivity
So I set up my booth at Midtown Bazaar this past Saturday - and got rained out! It's not supposed to do that in Sacramento for Memorial Day Weekend... But I also got quite a lot of productive things done, like 5 new pairs of crystal-pearl cluster earrings and a couple new pairs of amethyst gemstone earrings. I'll get them all listed in my shops in the next week or two, but for now, here's a preview, as well as a pic of my booth set up.
Also, one of my items was featured in a new Etsy Treasury! Check out "Lilacs in Bloom"! And now, the previews of the new earrings (with rain spots on the velvet pad):
