well you guys, art fair is nearly upon us! and we are all but ready. the photo above doesn’t even include teri’s stuff…so much for being short on inventory (booth is 4×8′!). after returning back to my sewing room and getting my bearings about me a few weeks ago, i blazed through the several remaining […]
