LIVE from Maker Faire in Austin, TX!

Thanks to the wonders of free wi-fi, I am sitting here in my booth at Bazaar Bizarre - Maker Faire in Austin, Texas! While I'm sure there are loads of amazing things happening here, I really only know what is happening in my immediate vicinity...a giant robot that periodically bursts into song and dance to Rick Astley (sp?) singing his 80's hit "Never Gonna Give You Up"...and a dog named Guapo that says the word "Obama" on command. Unfortunately, I can not show photos of the robot as I forgot to bring my camera cord but thankfully, Guapo the Obama loving dog is on YouTube:



I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes - it's an election miracle! Guapo belongs to Lucia of bluGrn design and Mooshy Gooshies - she and Marianna from ChickRocks are in the booth behind me selling their fabulous handmade goods and entertaining all their booth neighbors. OK, back to work...

I saw you at Maker Faire today - great booth and I love your work! I had no idea that you were part of awesome cool crafty book. Like you, I started my blog to bring some "reality check" to the craft-princess world. Amen! Keep up the great work!

I told you WiFi was everywhere in this town! Yes, I was wondering what was up with that dog, as he (right?) appeared to be receiving affection from everyone, yet belonging to no one.
