Stars!

Hellooooooooooo!

Sorry we haven't chit chatted in over a week! I went down to Florida to get some fun fun fun in the sun sun sun. I wore my super cute new bathing suits. Everyone said I looked so cute!

I also saw the Discovery Space Shuttle launch! I read up a little on it before I went, and now I'm tracking their mission! You can read about it here if you want!

After I got back, I was so inspired by the launch that I made my bed with my new stars bedding! And it comes with this cute postcard that you can color in and design your very own bedding! Some people have sent theirs into me and now my wall is so colorful and cute (or should I say, EVEN MORE colorful and cute!!!)

I love summer!

Cheers!

p.s. I almost forgot! My movie is due so soon! I only have 2 more weeks to work on it. I can't wait to see what other people do! Here are all of the details about the contest!!

Renegade Craft Fair

I ventured into the big city on Saturday and I had such a great time. I wanted to make it over the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn but it was just too hot and I was a tired lil one, so I got some Tasti D-Lite and went back home. But, I didn't want to miss out on all of the fun so I searched some sites for updates abou the fair. The fair is full of super crafty artists who make fun things to sell. I have lots of friends on here who were selling their works. Too bad I didn't get to catch them!


Here, here, here, here, here and here are all some stories about the craft fair.

Did you go? Tell me your stories! Happy readings!

Cheers!

PJs, leg warmers, necklaces and more

I was in Austin Texas last week and found the coolest thing in a vintage clothing store: a thin velvet rope--about 12 inches long--with two beaded balls at either end. Turns out these "necklaces" were big in the 1950s. A week later, I was in NYC and found one of these with white fur balls at each end. What you do is tie the rope around your neck and then the two decorative balls hang down. They look so fun! Now I'm thinking about how to do these a la me.

I also got to see finished versions of my new winter PJs for kids. One set is pink and green, the other is white with multi-colors. I also started working on my PJs for spring. They're the kind of PJs that you can wear to school and no one will notice that there's anything weird. They're also perfect for a slumber party (speaking of slumber parties, I've gotten lots e-mails lately from people saying that they love to buy my socks as party favors which makes me very happy!).

Lastly, I'm getting excited about the idea of leg warmers. I hate wearing a skirt in winter and having my legs get all cold. Don't you?

Hope everyone's having a good back to school.

Polka Dots in Portland

I first want to say how terribly sad I am for all the people affected by hurricane Katrina. I'm gathering blankets, bedding and clothes to drop off at the San Francisco shelter where victims have been sent. My heart goes out to all the families and individuals who have suffered through this horrible time.

***

I'm just back from Portland and Seattle. I, of course, wear my socks everywhere I go (with my red clogs this trip) and what I discovered is that North Westerners LOVE polka dots and stripes! I felt like I brought a party with me everywhere I went. "Where did you get those socks?!", people kept asking me. First it was the airport security guy (I had to take off my shoes). Then a very tall lady whose daughter is in college. Then a girl in a bookstore who was wearing very pointy shoes. Etc, etc.

I was  taking a lot of pictures on my trip. I keep my digital camera in my new electronic socks. And everyone was asking me about these, too! So, as you can imagine, this was a highly gratifying trip!

I also did a lot of fun things. I went to my favorite bookstores: Powells in Portland and Elliot Bay in Seattle. There are so many books out right now that I want to read. I've got the new Harry Potter by my bed, but haven't dug in yet.

And best of all, there wasn't a cloud in the sky in either place--practically unheard of!

Hope everyone is having a happy back to school.
