Live and in person, May 3rd in Astoria!
I'd resigned myself to chilling out this April, but I'm already signed up for a local Queens craft fair in Astoria on May 3rd ;-)
The Astoria Events Spring Fling Market!
Sunday May 3rd, 2009
10:30-4:30
32-33 31st street
Astoria, NY 11106
Omonia Cretans Association
(Indoors, footsteps away from the N train.)
So if you want to see my work in person, plus items not yet available on Etsy. I will definitely have my polymer clay items on sale at the event, plus my "bargain" section of pendants and earrings :-D
And wouldn't you know, I move away from Astoria and suddenly they have a craft fair. Lol. I'm also trying to get in contact with the Brooklyn Indie Market, but for some reason they're not getting back to me. Will look into it now that I have some time.
Did my business taxes last night. Not the best outcome, but I'm glad that my book keeping skills have improved. It makes taxes go faster. I would have finished them months ago, but the house-moving got in the way.
Also, I gave up beads for Lent, and now Lent is over. And I'm getting a tax refund. I really hope I don't lose the self control I've been working on... Although I do need other non-bead jewelry materials as well. The craft area is now neat and organized- I can get back to work.

Back to beads, and extending the sales :-)
The move is over! Renovations and home decorating... not quite over, but I can take my time there ;-)
I miss my beadwork sooooo much this week. If I manage to get my workshop set up, I can get back to my crafting. I have a bunch of ideas waiting in my notebook, and uncovered a ton of unused supplies during the packing/moving process. Not to mention all the newer pieces I haven't had time to photograph properly.
I hope to have *something* new and crafty to post by the end of the weekend. In the meantime, this is what my workshop area looks like right now:
Wow. Photographs are the best way to pinpoint clutter...
BTW, I'm extending my Polymer Clay Sale on Etsy for the rest of April, because why not ;-) I've already had a really good response to it, yay!

Hiatus!
Hallo kits, I'm sorry I've been away for a few weeks. I closed on my new co-op apartment, and now I'm in the middle of renovations and moving. It hasn't left me much energy to keep up with my blog, and my beads are still packed away :-/ I've been poked for a few really fun bloggy things, and I just don't have time to play. *sad kitteh*
Tomorrow I'm off to join the Palimpsest train tour, and if all goes well I'll have plenty of tales and photos to share! W00t!
After I get back on Monday, I have more last minute packing to do, and then I move on Thursday and Friday. I may not be back and active on the blogosphere until April, and the first weekend of April is ICON (just as a fan girl, not a vendor ;-) Expect ICON photos as well. And my new home and workshop, I hopes.
So the next few weeks will be CRAZY. However, my polymer clay necklaces are still on sale! Don't worry, I've packed my stock pieces in a separate box from the rest of my jewelry supplies, so they are still easy to ship. When I'm actually moving house, I'll put my Etsy shop on "vacation mode" to be on the safe side. Internet may be tricky for a while.
See you on the other side!

Elegant Cats :-D
Cats in the window quilt.
I don't *just* like this b/c of the kitties. I'm not into most quilts because I'm not very into the country look, but a lot of this artist/quilter's fabric choices make it look more elegant. More my style.
I think I'm going to make a tag for pieces I find that are covered in elegant little kitties. Feel free to send me more links ;-)

Pictures of Palimpsest
Wow, what an awesome party :-D Reading, singing, dancing, burlesque, suspension art, bondage, chocolate, tophats, tea. I don't think I can frame it all in words, so hear are my pictures:
May not be safe for work.
The best part:
The Authoress and the Songstress
Book + Music = OTP
Cat even signed my copy,
For Cris, whose jewels live and walk.
Yep, that's the idea ;-)
Second best part:
People recognizing me by my necklace ;-)
Last I heard, the first printing of the book is almost sold out, after barely four days. So go read the short story for free, get hooked, and clamor to Amazon for the book. (I'm too tired right now to hunt for the links again, they're on a post earlier this week.)
With luck, I'll have some small Palimpsest themed pieces on my Etsy store by early next week. But I'll have to hold out on more until after I move. *angst* At least I can sketch them down in my little notepad until I have the time.
Also, I've decided to give up purchasing beads for Lent. I had my party on Ash Wednesday instead of Fat Tuesday, but it works. Even though I'm not a Catholic, or a Christian, I respect the art of sacrifice in daily life. And with my home problems, its a financially sound idea.
Thus the earliest pieces of Palimpsest will be made out of items from my formidable stash of craft supplies. Or out of other things than beads. Ironically, I'll be out of town during the New York Whole Beads Show, on a train trip with CMV and Sooj ;-)

Polymer Clay Necklace SALE!
@ my Etsy shop: http://queenofthecatpeople.etsy.com
All polymer clay pendants and necklaces are on sale for March. I'm getting a head start ;-)
Most include Swarovski crystals, check crystals, pressed glass beads, and vintage elements. Discounts range from 20% to 40%.
I'm moving next month, and once I have my new workshop set up, I want to start putting a whole new line of polymer clay art together. But first, I need to clear out the older pieces ;-)
But no worries! I have all stock on hand to mail out with my usual speed. It's just my raw supplies that have been packed up. And I think I'm starting to go through withdrawl...
We've also lowered shipping costs in our shop, in a neatly tiered system. Check out "Policies" for more info.
