I'm still doing pillow commissions:
as well as pillowcase commissions...
and some banners...
and a special commission kokoleo first - a personalized reversible pet bed:
I was in a holiday group show at a gallery in our neighborhood:
I made Annette, the owner, this banner as a thank you for being so nice.
She gave Erik a solo show this month and his paintings are currently filling the space floor to ceiling.
I made a custom plush from a kid's drawing:
I made some beanbags for the Town Run Brewery, a new pub my friend's Todd and Jessie opened in Shepherdstown: pictures to come
I also manically made a ton of hair accessories one week:
and a few necktie headbands for the holiday show:
Last week I was getting my car tuned up on Danforth and decided to walk down the street. I found a children's clothing store called Merrily Merrily. They specialize in "New, nearly new, and upcycled whimsy for kids." That's what I specialize in too! I struck up a conversation with the co-owner Jane and gave her my card and by the end of our conversation I knew that the massive hoard of handmade kids' clothes I've been carting around needed to move into their store.
We set up a day and time to bring them in (last Friday) and the night before I went through the suitcases and trunks I use to store all my kokoleo creations. I separated out the grownup clothes and home decor and unfinished projects and filled my biggest suitcase full of kids clothes - stuff I made for crafts shows (that lifestyle seems so foreign to me now), stuff I retrieved from shops before I left L.A. and then Seattle, stuff I made for no apparent reason. Why do I hoard all this stuff? It does me no good to hide it all in a suitcase in my studio. I figured they would pick a few things to have in their shop. Nope. They picked EVERYTHING! I can't express how wonderful it was to see them love every single item I pulled out. What's more, they offer the most generous commission I've ever gotten from a shop plus they list everything online on their web page.
So now my kokoleos have a new home in Toronto. This may just be the encouragement I need to get back in my studio and make some more.

For some companies, this statement is correct that new staff cannot occupy the principal positions of the procustomwriting.com. Established businesses have a great deal of perform load and they want experienced employees to manage it.
Create the initial draft of your expression paper and reread it a number of occasions. There is no a single who can write a really excellent custom research paper on the first try. Compose the first draft then put it aside for a day.
Almost two years as of this writing with no new post...not that I'm complaining.
