I am a bad bad crafty girl.

I am so sorry. It has been over a year since I posted to my Hairware craft blog. A bunch of stuff has happened since last you heard from me.


I'm making simple seasonal hair clips, in December I made angels and trees. I need to find or make a cutter for snowflakes. Now I'm making hearts for February.

These are some cupcakes I made as a special order for my friend Betty. After these I've added cupcakes to my repertoire. You can't eat them, but they are adorable.

Cupcakes, scull clips and an STFU

I found a fish shaped cutter, so I can make 2 inch french clip fish. I have been asked to make them bigger, so I'm going to try adding a wave or some seaweed behind the fish.

At the request of my sister-in-law, I've added polka dots.

After much nagging by my sister, I've started making hair sticks. They can double as shawl pins. A blond wood stick with a dangley (my own personal technical term.)

I am actively looking for craft fairs to apply for, so if you know of one... let me know.
And now for some random photos you probably haven't seen.

OMG! OMG! OMFG!!!

Okay, so I'm about 24 hours away from my first ever craft fair. I'm nervous and I'm trying not to panic. What if I'm a failure?
I know I won't be a failure, but I always have that fear. Plus I'm a worrier.
I have a nice long list of stuff to take and stuff to keep me occupied, things like a deck of cards, sunscreen and calculator. I could go on for the whole list but that would bore you.

I lost my HairWare pin Wednesday, and I'm hoping it turns up.
In the mean time I made myself the barrettes on the right that say "hair" and "ware" to wear in my pigtails.
I picked up my banner yesterday afternoon. It looks AweSome!! Big thanks go to Jess at Staples for helping me out and being so patient with my signage ignorance.

I made the green ones to wear to the casino last week.

The stuff...

Announcing... HairWare Parties!!!
If you need a reason to throw a party, and you think your friends would like my barrettes and other products -earrings, pins, key chains, bracelets, and anything else that comes to mind- consider throwing a HairWare Party. It's a great excuse to see your friends, and the hostess (or host) gets a free gift made specifically for them and everyone at the party gets to pay friends and family prices for any HairWare they might buy.
Contact me to set up your party today.

Also, I realized how pitiful my craft fair stock was last night and spent several hours making more. I have more suns and pet rocks, and I've added starfaces. Check out the photos.

And last but not least, I have changed the rement barrettes to flat top alligator clips, because I think they'll stay in better than those bobby pins did.

Bellevue Art in the Park

I'm going to be selling some of my HairWare at Bellevue's Art in the Park September 12th. If you come, make sure to stop by my booth to say hi and buy some stuff.

Look for hairware in stores!

Now that I am unemployed, I have a lot more time to work on the barrettes (BTW-I was let go on Thursday). I have been thinking about talking to some little funky shops to see if they would be interested in selling hairware. The first is in Lexington and one in Louisville. I will be talking to places in Cincinnati after my world-wind tour is done on Sunday night.
Happy 4th of July and I'll keep you posted about any shops that agree to sell my stuff. As always you can buy from me directly or through Etsy.
