A very crafty weekend

I just got back from dropping off my inventory for The Paideia School's "Art Visions" fine art and craft sale (more info here). The sale is this weekend, Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from noon to 5 pm.

I wish that I had time to stop by Art Visions and check it out. What I saw when I dropped off my stuff looked really nice, but this weekend is also the Indie Craft Experience (more info here). ICE is my most favorite craft show of all time. It's always fun, and full of talented vendors and friendly shoppers. ICE is also Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 6pm both days. Stop by and say hello!

Rootin' Tootin' Roundup 5K

A friend of mine is helping to organize a 5K in Palmetto, GA to benefit a little girl who is undergoing cancer treatment. Here is a little info from their website:

"Amris Bedford, a spunky two year old country girl, was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive brain cancer known as AT/RT.  Amris is receiving treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where she will be for the next 6 months.  Come out and run for a good cause!!!  Proceeds from this run will be donated to her family to help cover expenses during this difficult time."

If you are a runner and want to participate, then click here to go to their website to register. If you aren't a runner and want to participate, you can register as a phantom runner, you don't even have to show up. 

They also have a facebook page (click here) for the event. 

Microwave Girl Shop Update!

I seem to have gotten stuck in a recipe rut again, for lack of a better word. What can I say, I like to eat good food, and I like to share good gluten free recipes. Some gluten free food is just horrible, so when I make something that tastes "normal" to me, I feel like I have to share it with the world. But enough about food.

I have finally updated my etsy shop! I can never seem to find the time (or motivation) to photograph my  work, but I forced myself to do it this past weekend. I am pleased to announce that there are 5 new items in my shop as of today.

I have two new cards: Olive Juice and Heart Hands.

I finally got enough Lunch Notes printed to be able to put some for sale online.

 And last, but not least, two thaumatrope designs: Lightning Bugs in Mason Jar, and Sizzling Bacon.

Both sides of the Lightning Bug thaumatrope

My somewhat successful attempt at photographing what your eye sees when
you twirl the strings between your fingers

Both sides of the Bacon thaumatrope

This turned out a little better than the lightning bugs in motion, the bacon
and pan are both facing the camera at least.
