Runs on Coffee and Cream

 

 












It's crazy Summer is over. But let's be honest, I'm excited to be entering my favourite season of the year!

I've been sewing like crazy getting ready for my first show and I love everything I have ready so far. I got my hands on some amazing fabric and my bags and pouches just seem extra great this year.

I also made up a custom pouch for my friend Valerie for her 3DS this month.

I am so in LOVE with the I Sew Cute Etsy shop and I just had to share their adorable, glittery jewelry! It was incredibly hard to narrow down which items to include in this post because I love and want them all!

My daily routine this month was mainly sewing. Cutting, ironing, sewing, pricing, stuffing... just getting ready for my biggest show I do every year!

These are some of my finished products and there's more photos on my facebook page.

Tote Bags



I'm happy to finally have some DC ladies fabric.


I love the pink Star Wars bag!

Pouches





Adventure Time pouches ready to go!


Finished kitty toys!


I'll have new IGGPPC postcards at my table!

Fan Expo Canada starts this Thursday and I'm so incredibly excited for it! It's such a fun convention! It's busy and the guests are always awesome and I run into so many people that I know through social media. It's just fun! I'll be at table A351 in Artist Alley so stop by and say hi if you're going!

When I haven't been exploring our new city or working on International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club, I've been busy sewing new products for upcoming comic conventions. I have two more this convention season and I'm really excited for both of them.

These are some of my finished products from the last month:

New Pillowcases


Pouches




This is new fabric that I bought recently and I love it!


Pillows


Tote and Hobo Bags



Kitty Kickers


This upcoming weekend is my next comic convention, ConBravo! I've never done it before so it'll be interesting to see what it's like. It's so nice that it's in Hamilton so I don't have to drive far from my parents' house. I'll be sure to take lots of photos over the weekend!



If you're going to ConBravo! this weekend, come find me in Artist Alley!

If you don't follow my Facebook page or twitter, you may have missed that I did a HUGE Etsy update over the last week or so. All my pouches and pillow cases are now in the shop! And I'm offering a discount for International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club members: IGGLE10 for 10% off!


I have two big comic conventions coming up in July and August - ConBravo! and Fan Expo Canada. I won't be updating much in between those two shows since I need to bring as much product as I can with me. So if you have your eye on something in my shop, I'd recommend picking it up sooner than later since I won't be updating very much between now and September and I can't guarantee I won't sell the items in my shop now at the conventions.

And, I'm sure you've all heard by now... but Google Reader is shutting down on July 1st. So remember to either add my blog to your Bloglovin' account or follow by email (on the right sidebar). You can also move your Google Reader RSS feed to Bloglovin'.

These two posts give detailed tutorials on how to do this and also how to set up a Bloglovin' account:

I personally have been using Bloglovin' for a couple of years and I highly recommend it. It's easy to organize and also to search for blogs and posts about certain subjects and topics.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week!

I was introduced to the amazingly talented and adorable Lara through International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club. Her DIYs on the site are wonderful and so cute! I was excited to see that she had an Etsy shop. Her shop is filled with plushies, felt creations, and jewellery!
