One week! Next Saturday, come check out the craft fair and the farmers market. If you’re in the Chicago area and haven’t been to Woodstock Square, you’re missing out. In addition to being the scene of the movie Groundhogs Day, it’s home to a great farmers market and lots of wonderful small local shops. Hope to see you there!

Finished two of the 8 Everyday Tote bags I have in progress. I love how these bags look when they’re done but they always take longer than I think they will. Pattern is from @bagstockdesigns #craftfairprep #everydaytotebag #bagstockdesigns #geekytotebag #geekysewing #fandomcrafts

I got 38 zipper pouches done yesterday and today plus I finally found a good display solution for them for my craft show this month! I got six plate/pot lid racks to keep them upright and tidy on the table. (Not my idea, totally pilfered from Pinterest.) #craftfairprep #craftfairdisplay #gettingthere #somanyzippers #buyhandmade

Edit to add: Thanks for your input. I decided to use both. Question for anyone who has to use a lanyard at work or school: should I do the D-ring AND the lobster clasp or just one or the other? I have plenty of hardware but since I’m a stay at home mom I don’t really use a lanyard and I don’t know whether both is overkill. It does add a little weight and bulk but it might be more versatile. Thanks for your help! #craftfairprep #etsyseller #lanyards #handmadegifts

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Wow. This book was unexpected. I picked it up because my local library is starting a “young at heart” YA book club for not-young adults and this is the first book. I read it in 2 days, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of two boys, Dante and Aristotle (Ari) who meet at the pool at the beginning of summer and form a fast friendship. They are both sort of loners and each other’s first close friend. But this book is about so much more than their friendship, it’s about living in your own head, finding your place in the world, family, the secrets that shape us and love. The characters are wonderful, the parents loving and supportive, the inner voices real and believable. I laughed and cried and couldn’t get enough. 5/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

I haven’t made hexies in so long! I’m hoping to get a few more mug rugs made before the craft fair and these are easy to do while I watch tv and am too exhausted to sew. #hexies #hexieaddict #craftfairprep #noscrapleftbehind
