Renegade Craft Fair AND SF TWEED Ride

Hi Everyone,

Dave's orange cap is done and waiting for him at work. I hope he likes it! And Mary-Beth loved the Christmas Stocking. :)

I have been making quite a few caps but haven't kept up on the photos. That is part of my Friday plan: 1. make more caps 2. photograph caps 3. everything else that needs to get done (including washing the dog)

Ruth and I have submitted our application for the Renegade Craft Fair. It is a juried show. Now we wait to see if we are in or out. It is a great fair check it out. :)

I would like to show my earrings, caps and tote bags. Guess I better get to sewing.

Yours,

Mary

Orange Cap for Dave of Cycle City, and a Dutch Girl Cap for a lady in Brooklyn

Hello Everyone,

I can't believe ten days have passed since I last wrote to you. I have been super busy finishing the Christmas stocking for MaryBeth's grandkid Conor. The pattern was a bit complex but it is all done! Yes. We are very happy about this. I turn it in tomorrow. I hope she likes it.

Now back to alloneword's cap land. I have two orders in for caps (see title). I will be working on them in the a.m.

I also sent off 10 caps to Boston to be silkscreened by e5Charlie and his peeps. I am so excited about this. I will post before and after photos when I get them back. (FYI his stuff is more for folks than kids)

Here is a link to the e5Charlie site:

I hope you like his stuff as much as I do. My favorite is BFF. Which only makes sense, because it is my BFF.

Making stuff and hoping,

Mary E.

PS here is a link to Cycle City (FYI a great shop/site folks tall & small....)

And a query: Should I start making bike basket liners? There are folks who make fancy ones on Etsy and the net...... hummmm....

Emma Faerie Cap

Hi,

I spent the day making my work shop workable. Here is a pic of a cap I made on Saturday night while listening to NPR.

The other cap sold already. But I will make more in the morning. :)

Hope you had a great weekend.

Yours,

Mary

Found Mag. and Velo Brooklyn Two great things that taste great together with alloneword...

Hi Everyone,

I feel just like a big company CEO!

First: I was featured in this great bike blog:

http://velobrooklyn.com/bikeblog/

for this fab shop in Brooklyn called Bushwick Bike Shop. Here is a link to their shop:

http://www.velobrooklyn.com/

I love the pic on the site opening page of the sexy lady on the bike. Please note that the Flicker slide show starts with a pic of alloneword caps. Yeah. I am that good. :) Well I don't really feel that good, however, Bushwick Bike Shop is so cool that I feel a little cool just knowing them.

Next: I'm actually going advertise in one of the premier zines in the whole omni-verse. (drum roll please) Found Magazine !!!! If you don't know who they are please click on this link:

They are fall on the ground funny. Be careful not to read it to much at work. :) The find of the day is a bit addictive.

Page me later,

Mary
