Bunch of Caps and Tori too.....

Hi,

I just got in from the Tori concert in Oakland at the Paramount. It is a great place to see a show and it was a Great Show!!!!! Shout out to my peep Rachele for going with me. We rocked it!

Here is a picture of the new caps:

I am going to see how many I can post on Etsy before I fall asleep.

Peace, love and a hard ,

Mary

Post Script: It takes two bites to get to the middle of a Tootsie Roll Sucker.

(I only posted 2 caps. But it is 2:40am. I am going to sleep now)

P & P and Zombies!!!!! also new caps! to protect your brains....

Hi All,

You may have been wondering if my brains were eaten by Zombies it has been such a long time sense I have blogged. But no, brains my brains are still intact. I have been sewing up caps, reading, stitching and the 4th of July. Not to mention playing Pool. Yep, a non-geeky hobby! I'm pretty good at it to if I say so myself.

Reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahme-Smith. It is strangely captivating. So very much of the text is unchanged in any way. Then all of a sudden these Zombies show up. Seth G-S did a wonderful job explaining and giving a history to the Zombie "Plague". A great read especially if you are an P & P fan. Here is how it all starts:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Here is a link to a movie gosip website. It has a good description of the book and a photo of the cover. Worth a click!

Cap Photos: to follow soon!!!! The cap that went to Finland was well received. So well in fact that the boy friend hi-jacked it! She ordered another one. That one is on its way as I write this. I spent to long working on it. But it was worth it. As you will see in the photos.

Stitching: I have been stitching up a storm on MaryBeth's Christmas stocking, MR 1811 and other unfinished projects.

The 4th: My plans fell through and I spent the holiday alone. I missed how I used to spend my holidays. But it was not all bad. I watched Shaun of the Dead and played Super Maro Bro's Cart on a Wii with my room mates kids. A fine film and a great game. A quick shout out to my peeps Tristan and Ethan and my Pool Sensei.

Thank you for stopping by,

Mary Elizabeth

Cap Photos and Cap orders Cap on its way to Finland :)

Hi Everyone,

It is so exciting that I have a cap on its way to Finland.  Right now as I am writing this it is on the way there.  I can hardly believe it.  And the person who ordered is so Cool and kind.  They are going to email me when the cap arrives.  This is the cap in question:

Joie Lupe Cap Pictured below:

I also have a Red heart Lupe cap going to Brooklyn.  That cap looks a little like this:

I got my resale number the other day.  I am so happy about that.  I am going to see about selling at the local farmers market and maybe some of the Art Fairs in the Bay Area.  There is a great one coming up called the Art and Fire Fair.  It is in Oakland at the Crucible.

All the best to you,

Mary E.

PPS I received an email from a cap customer. He said that he loved the cap I sent him. I am always so happy to get feedback, and I'm over the moon when it is positive. I have been really working on improving my pattern. All of that hard work is worth it when folks are happy with my caps. It just makes my day.

PPPS Cycle City you folks did it again. I just think you are great! I was having a little issue with my gears. I stopped by and you checked out my bike: fixed the problem, put air in the tires, and tightened some bolts that hold on my rack. All of this while I waited. It took all of 8 minutes and the bike mechanic (Dave) even made time to take it for a test ride. I got the bike from them and they were so sweet and they have been so good about everything. Here is a link to there website. I just can't say enough good things about them.
