Swap A Rama

I had a blast last weekend at Swap A Rama. I made a hat and learned basic sewing on a machine!! I only got to go to the second day due to work but it was more than worth it.



Swap A Rama is a two day DIY craft fair started by Wendy Tremayne.
It brings together professional artist/designers who teach participants how to:
Make Hats
Do Natural Dyeing
Silk Screen
Do Embroidery
Make T-Shirt Scarves
Make Handbags
Basic Sewing on Machines (Assisted and DIY)



To participate you bring a bag of unwanted clothes/fabric/shoes in usable condition and pay a "suggested donation" (20 dollars) which mean you can pay whatever you can =()!
It is a traveling fair so you can register to host one in your city.
You can go here to find out about upcoming events

Happy Crafting!

Frostbitten

I got home from work today and began taking off my seven layers of clothes. At layer three I started to wonder why my mother moved us from the warm paradise of my birth St. Vincent. So I began looking for images of the Caribbean to warm up my frostbitten soul. This is what I came up with.





Images found of Caribbean fashion week 08. The next Caribbean fashion week is this June this year, we Caribs like to take our time

Got this bag today for $5. Plus really fun metal earrings for a $1.50. I really shouldn't have been shopping but so happy I did! I love thrift stores. They really dull the shopaholic guilt.
