Freak Fest 2013 in Madison, WIS

    We have been planing this Madison trip since the first and all the hard work I put into the costumes was so worth it! Having everyone see their costumes and their face'es light up and then seeing them with makeup and all was even better! The complements we got was shocking and We loved it! This last weekend was a BLAST! We had so much and met some pretty great and funny people. So let me tell you about our Saturday!  First thing! It was me, my sister Sarah and her boyfriend Matt, my Bestie Duane, and my two cousins Brad and Beth! My sister, Sarah set up the hotel for us, witch she did a Very good job with! I should of took pictures but go figure once again I didn't think about it. We stayed at the Hyatt hotel, it was a great and very clean place, the room was cute and comfy with super soft beds! I loved it!! Here is the link if you are interested for some reason lol  http://madisondowntown.place.hyatt.com/ 

We ran into some already costumed up college boys who were all ready having a good time, That were just full of it and fun to catch a elevator with! So already we knew that this was going to be one heck of a night!

The show didn't start till around 730 and after getting dressed and some makeup, we got out the door around 830..ish.. As soon as we stepped out the door costumes were everywhere! and we weren't even in the show area either. When we got to the gates there wasn't to many people in line, but one of the things that were a bummer and what I thought was lame was you couldn't have any thing not attached to you. not even a foam sword or of course the kings head I made. We lost Sarah's sword but my best friend Mr. Duane got it to stick in my shirt so it "WAS" attached to my costume. I thought it was kinda funny but I mean I can understand why they want to do that.


  The first thing we did was of course hit the bars! At first some of the bars weren't to packed.."yet" lol, they had a bunch of different deals with shots and drinks, we were all..right on! We knew it was going to be a good night!!Just walking in, we were catching eyes. I think we had a lease!! 30 pictures taken of us with different people, They just loved our outfits. Made me feel really good and of course everyone else too. We were loving every minute of it, it was too great. There were a ton of awesome and amazing costumes though! We saw a really awesome jelly fish, Couple of cool zombies and a really beautiful sugar skull with a wedding dress. Just loved how she put it together. There were some jail birds that I just had to take pictures with and some Lego guys their group idea was prefect! And that to some to name off. We had a blast and got a lot of drinks in us and had just to fun of a night, plus just being around drunk people made the night some of them were uh...yeahh lol they were diffidently  having a good time too.

Now before I get to the Pictures! I want to thank the boys for being so willing (Mainly Matt) for wearing makeup and going with whatever us ladys wanted to do to your face'es...(in a only makeup kinda way..to the ones with dirty minds..yeah..you know who you r..lol) You guys were troopers!

Oregon Autumn Parade

   
         This is totally latest blog in history! I'am so sorry guys :( But let me tell you how it went and oh man, you will see who was in my tent!! Oregon, was a totally a great show. The people were very nice, There was so many people there I couldnt belive it  I mean shoulder to shoulder packed. Saturday was great weather.  And right now I'am really thinking about added some new stuff to may shows.We had sweaters and T-shirts Sold like crazy!! We had about 16 of them ,and by Sunday we had 2 or 3! So differently something that I'am going to keep making!

Sunday was a rainy day ,but it only rained every now and then. But it kinda worked for us.It was a little cold but, not to bad...when you were drinking coffee and eating a hot mean. The tent has sides so we kept dry. I was lucky because I got right in front of the parade . It was a great to see everthing in the parade.. They had this awesome shows, these guys from Chicago..their show was amazing! You could hear them coming, this beat pop music playing. I never heard that in a parade before  And when we could see them. I was freaking fanstic!! It was a drill team!! The boys in front were spinning thir guns, and throwing them in the air. It was so awesome to see. Then they all were moving it and dancing! They have some killer skills! Then before you knew it, there are some kids coming next to this tumbling sign van. When they were in front of us the van stopped and you see these guys run and flip right on top of the fan, the another one..and 5 more! I was just to to awesome. I was like..Right on man!! And even though the rain was pouring.. so many people stayed there, I thought that was just awesome and now I know why they stayyed!

Well... now you ask who was in my tent you...I was star struck when I saw... Louise, from the show "Get out a live" . Her dad and her won on the show! I didn't notice any thing and then it clicked... That made my day... The best thing was she bought a necklace from me >.< Right on!!! Too cool.It was a fun show and I will be back there next year for sure!!


I'am sorry this post was so late.. I will post more.. Thanks for reading.

Last weekend was a blast at the Greenwich Village Art Fair.We had this show Saturday and Sunday on the 14th and 15th Rockford, IL. Everyone was so nice, I loved how they would come and check on us! they asked if we wanted anything, if we are hungry or need a break. We had free food and breakfast too. We had the greatest experience and we will diffidently be going back next year! The weather on Saturday was perfect, sunny 70's..Perfect! On Sunday it was a rainy day and a little chilly out. 

We didn't think that we would see any body with this weather. But! We had our first customer come in right at opening and she got $130 in Art Yarn! it was so great totally made our day! Then we had this lady come up and she saw my Mermaid doll  and was like Ill take that. Well alright you really made our day! lol it was just fun even with the rain! We did really good at this show, a truly great experience and I cant wait for next year!! 

I couldn't of done it without my cousin Beth! She is a hard worker,she is so helpful, and just a fun person! Thank You thank You!!

Me and Her make the best team ever. Its totally great having her along with me. You rock girl!

I'M IN NORTHWEST QUARTERLY!!!!!!!!

I cant believe it! But I'am in the NorthWest Quarterly! I'm so happy.. It was really great to get the phone call and to answer all her questions, I was really nervous, and when I got the magazine I was even more happier!! It was really great to read and see what they wrote and I loved it. My mom went a little crazy about me being in it..lol but that's my mom and I will always love her. I think I'am finally going to where I want to be. I really love doing my art, and that's all I want to do. It has been a long journey and I'am ready to share my art with everyone. I get told a lot at shows that My Dolls can become so much more. Like Anime figures, or cartoon figures for movies and shows in so many different ranges. I cant count how many people have told me that. It gets me very excited to hear that from people. And Believe me I'am working on it! 

We always have people coming in and loving all the dolls that they see. Big smiles and just in shock of the detail that I put into them... and no im not exaggerating with that either.. They really do!

That feeling is the greatest! It feels nice to have people come in and love your art, and tell you how talented I'am. Now trying to get big is the next step but its hard to know what step is the right one. 

I got this!
