Felt Club Fun

Shari's new boyfriends, originally uploaded by textile fetish.

You didn't know, I had backup dancers, did you? This was me yesterday with the 'security force' at Felt Club. I saw these guys just gathered there, waiting for the event to get started so I asked them for a picture (which turned into a few pictures with some odd gestures by these Goodfellas). They were good sports about it, but seemed to want to keep finding us during the event. Ha. This is Jennifer Ramos of Textile Fetish. I helped at her booth. We had a blast. This is what I look forward to once a year!

These are my friends, jean of jrotem gear , me, Jennifer, and Lisa Braithwaite. The only one missing is Carrie of Sommer Designs. I wasn't able to get a picture of her that wasn't dark but she has a bunch of pictures on her blog.

Anyways, It was so fun to see all of my peeps doing their thing. What a fun day. Jenny Ryan did an amazing job organizing this event with 150 vendors, food, drink, entertainment and local flavor. It was so much fun.

I Have a Fetish...for Textiles

My dear friend Jennifer Ramos of Textile Fetish has truly spoiled me. We did a little product trading and look what I ended up with! The Mother Lode! A very cool apron with a skull pocket and a patchwork intense heart that's a full apron but short enough for me, which is rare, several patchwork potholders which I love. I have a pair and plan on gifting these for the holidays. Also, a baby skirt, (a special gift for someone), a couple of box zip pouches made especially for me, a bookcover and a sock monkey checkbook cover. I'm such a huge Textile Fetish fan. I own so many of her amazing items which are all one of a kind and truly unique. Jennifer will be selling her wares at Felt Club on Nov. 16 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. I will be helping her in her booth. Can't wait.

Speaking of gifting and Felt Club, I did another little trade with my pal Carrie Sommer of Sommer Designs and got a very cool and very useful key fobs and a zip pouch. People are always asking me where I got my key fob. She just added some really cute key fobs on her site. You have to check out the one with cupcakes and the one with trailers. So fun. She will also be selling at Felt Club and now it truly will be a big party!

A Whole Lotta Fun, A Whole Lotta New

When you work really hard, or not, relaxation is very important. I ordered this daybed from West Elm back in April. It was backordered and after a lost truck and a lot of hassle, it has finally arrived. It fits just perfect in the corner of my family room and is a welcome addition for reading and rest.


I had a wonderful opportunity yesterday to help my friend Jennifer of Textile Fetish at her table at Felt Club XL in LA. It was sooo crowded and just hopping with excitement. There were so many talented people and great music playing. I met a lot of people I've recently 'met' or 'known' for a long time on line like Nicole of Queen Puff Puff , Jenifer of Sprout Studio , Jenny of Sew Darn Cute , and many more. My camera didn't like the dim lighting but Jennifer got a lot more pictures and as soon as she gets back home to Texas I'm sure we'll see more.

I've been jamming getting my jewelry ready for the New World Flamenco Festival in August. I've got so many new designs that I've made just for the festival. I can't wait to show them off.
