Last Day of June

Crazy ain't it?
I have been super busy with the website. With the help of Arianne and Aeolidia, ZOOMZAWEAR will have a new look. Exciting. It should be up and running next week.
While on vacation, I knitted up a bunch of new fruit hats like this:

That's one of my new little models. Isn't she a cutie pie? Aside from lemons, I will have tomatos and strawberries. I am still looking for purplish/blue yarn to knit up some blueberries. Any other suggestions?

This weekend, I was in Silver City, NM with my hubby and two of my cousins. To read more about that trip, you can check out
One Girl, Big World. That's my journal.

Anyhoo, there is this fab little yarn store called Yada Yada Yarn. I have an chronic need to buy yarn in every city that I visit-and unfortunately, it is not curable... I was going to pay for my yarn with a credit card but I was told they only tool cash and checks. Bummer right? They offer self-addressed stamped envelopes to remit payment. Huh? How utterly fabulous is that. Ah, small towns...

Off on a Northwest Adventure

So, for the past two weeks, my DH and I have been traveling around the Northwest on a, ahem business trip. Well, we did do some shoots for the
The Random Eye. If you don't know about it, its a new site that shows one0minute biographies of people. Stan Lee is on there. "With great power comes great responsibility" He was great. I also stopped by some kid stores in Ashland, OR and Seattle to get feed back on Zoomzabebe and maybe initiate wholesale relationships.
Anyway, we wine tasted our way up to Seattle and back down through Oregon but, tomorrow, it's back to work. I start the redesign for Zoomzawear. During our trip, I have been knitting up my fruit hats for kids and adults.
I also found out I was accepted at Felt Club for July. Yeah!
So, as I sit in our last bed and breakfast, The Parsonage in Nevada City, CA and write this, I am sad that our vacation in ending but looking forward to going home and checking on our tomatoes. *sigh*

Fashion Coop

On Saturday, I had a booth at fashioncoop. I really wanted to love this show but I have to say I only did OK. It was in a great location (Santa Monica Civic Center) but the crowds just were not there.
That said, I had a good time. The other vendors (well most of them) were so sweet.
Christine of twospace was right across the aisle and we would just crack up at the, um, interesting people who would walk by. I do love LA for the constant supply of characters.

On my left was Nancy of jack-blue Her leather bags and accessories are amazing!
I will definitely be ordering one of them before the summer is over. To tide me over, I bought a leather card case from her.

I loooove it.

At the moment, I am in a craft fair holding pattern. I hopefully will be at Felt Club in July and I am thinking about the LA Tofu Fest. Got Soy?
Until then, I am amping up production and will be turning another year under thirty!

Here is a photo of a three-pack I am sending out today:


The cotton is so soft that I sometimes wish they made these for adults.

The big(ish) news is that ZOOMZAWEAR will be undergoing a redesign later this month.
Aeolidia will, of course, be handling this process. I am very excited and we have taken hundreds of new photos. Here is a sneak peek:

Delayed Reaction

Wow!
My how time flies...
In May, I was a vendor at Felt Club It's a new, monthly craft fair in the heart on Hollywood. I hope to be there again in July. It's a smaller fair, but I like the number of vendors since the customers really get a chance to appreciate the crafts on display.

It was a scorcher of a day (my unusually tanned forehead could attest to that) but it was a lot of fun. I was next to Krissy of Biggerkrissy and we would wave at the firemen returning from calls. LAFD was right across the alley from us. When a few of them made it over, Krissy presented them with one of her hand-made plushies. So if you see a one-eyed furry monster on the grill of a West Hollywood firetruck, you'll know where it came from.

The Captain actually bought one of my knit bags for his wife. Here he is:


As it was the first ever show, I wasn't sure what to bring, so I brought a ton of stuff. My booth floweth over, as you can clearly see!

Oh and that little umbrella was woefully inadequate.
Luckily, another vendor let my other neighbor, tsai-fi borrow a patio umbrella and we both cowered under that when we could.
