forgetful me and many thanks

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Make It show in Vancouver this past weekend to visit the Hobs Snobs booth. I realize I wrote a blog post last week announcing the show and didn't push the "publish" button... ugh - lame me!!! I will promise to make sure I push the button next time. Here is a quick snap of our booth space... changed it up a little bit... nixed the table and used inexpensive metal shelves instead (hooray for Ikea). One spring show down, one more to go!

we made it!

Thanks to everyone for visiting us (the Hob Snobs table) over the weekend at the Make It craft fair. It was nice to see some familiar faces as well as meet new ones. Check out some of the photos of our booth. My next fair isn't until next month... so I am gong to take a bit of a craft breather... well, for a few days anyways, until I start getting the itch to craft again (which seems to always come sooner than I anticipate!)

bear-y cute surprise

I found a cute little surprise in our mailbox yesterday... a little handmade gift for Jasper from one of my crafty friends, Heather (also, one of the original members of our craft collective Hob Snobs). I love crochet and amigurumi (and never ever did figure out how to do it after several failed attempts..ugh)... aren't the orange pants and little letter "J" on it's shirt the cutest thing? The little bear has already been welcomed with a big slobbery kiss (from baby Jasper, of course).

one of a kind update

Ok... my brain is finally less frazzled and recovering from the hectic One of a Kind Show. I just wanted to show you some more shots of how our booth turned out... since I realized, I only posted some teaser pics last week. So the good news is... our booth (the Hob Snobs Craft Collective -- it is a bit hard to see the logo on the wall in this pic) won best booth design!! Awwww... yeah! We were super excited and surprised at being picked out of the 200+ other booths! Woohoo! And we managed to decorate on a tight budget as well.... um... carpet courtesy of craigslist, some furniture from our own houses, and an inexpensive feature wall color and custom wall lettering really did the trick! There we are in our booth looking a bit tired on day 4 (me on the left, Jeannette from The Beautiful Project in the middle, and Sasha from Track and Field Designs on the right). Thanks to everyone who came to visit us.... we were running on caffeine those four days, so hopefully our zombie mannerisms didn't scare you.

Also thanks to Jan for featuring our booth on her blog Poppytalk, Miranda from Hudsonny for featuring us as well, and Lesley from Smidgebox posting about us too! Thanks ladies!
