Inspired by variety, Dallas never makes the same thing twice. She loves to sew and embroider; she dabbles in crocheting, she beads and makes jewelry. So hurry, hurry, hurry, step right up and get your ticket for the imagination contortionist and all of her wonderful oddities. Easily Amused gifts are intended for the frequently exuberant, the blatantly giddy, the often nostalgic and, of course, the easily amused. If you miss the attention to detail of yesteryear Dallas is your gal; her one of a kind creations are great to have and share. Price range: $2.00-80.00. Visit me here or here…

This winter I will be sewing up some fun fabric bangles and necklaces adorned with vintage cabachons and ribbon/lace.  Also for the ladies, I will be creating cute everyday belts made out of vintage ribbon.  For the holidays, I will be making some christmas ornaments.  Price range: $8 – $25. Visit me at…

These days Annilygreen is going bold and graphic and shiny!  So I’m making striped pillows out of fabric and metallic leather (for you!), typography art prints on fabric and paper, parallelogram zipper clutches out of fabric and leather (for your friends!), and probably some christmas ornaments (for your tree!). Price range:  $5-$60.

I love to create things and have to keep busy, I love using vintage and reclaimed fabrics as well as new. Here is what I make: purses, appliqued shirts, dish towels, vintage flower earrings, fabric cuff bracelets, hair clips and pins, headbands, onesies, burp cloths, receiving blankets, baby quilts, bibs, slip dresses, pillowcase dresses and shirts, kids aprons, fabric wallets, stitched note cards and notebooks, vintage flower rings, altered vintage suitcases.

This kitty finger puppet is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Imagine the hours you could spent playing with this, with or without kids. Keep one in your desk at the office, in the car, and don’t forget to take the kitty to church.
Way to go Dallas. If you simply can’t wait until the bazaar to get your hands on some of Dallas Russell’s goods- try Frosty Darling in downtown SLC.

OK I know it’s a little late in the evening, but we promised a sneak peek into tomorrow show…and here it is!

Molly Call has found a new medium…paint- but also felt and of course her first loves- collage and paper mache.

Jennifer Calderon modeling the latest rage in Hollywood, the knitted ‘fanny pack’. Maybe Lindsay Lohan will stop by to pick one up!

Hugamonkey baby slings are funky, fashionable and affordable for every mommy and daddy.

Here are a few goods for the show, if you want to sneak peek a few more..

T-shirts are ready…don’t forget to pick one up this weekend.
This winter we have the ever so basic, always fashionable colors- black and white. These shirts are 100% cotton long-sleeved American Apparel girlie tees.
Look great and show your support for local artists and crafters and their quest to bring amazingly cool, handmade goods to Utah.

Kanani Hayes and her Vinylicious designs are always a treat to have in the show. Her designs are funky, unique and expertly crafted.

These clever reusable shopping bags made by Susan Petersen are so incredibly handy, don’t ever leave home without them. They are fully lined, reversible and have triple reinforced handles. The bags are extremely durable and come in various colors and patterns. These bags would be a great gift for the earth-minded friend or family member this holiday season.

I just bumped into Sonya Evans and saw her darling duds at the gallery stroll in Salt Lake City this past weekend. She is recently returned from Eugene Oregon and we are so pleased she will be joining the show.
Her screen-printed goods include shirts for adults (men and women) and kids, sweatshirts, totes and diaper covers. All of her designs are her own original artwork, hand-dyed fabric in groovin’ colors. Check out her adult goods here or items for children here.

You know what they say…aprons don’t hold us back, they take us back. I wonder what they would say about reversible aprons?

Or they just help you look really cute when you’re helping out in the kitchen.

Mindy Relyea of One Wish World will be a joining the show this Christmas. Her scarves and sweaters are darling. Each scarf is finished with a little pocket. Inside every pocket is a surprise thought or charm. She believes in passing on goodness and sunshine in surprising places. She will have mother daughter scarves, women’s sweaters, little girl sweaters and jackets, and of course logo tees.

Every sweater she makes is an absolute one-of-a-kind. Put together in an “upcycle” fashion, she literally pieces them together from lots of other sweaters to come up with the finished product. She love colors and patterns of all kinds, along with flowers and trees and trims, all of which you will find on every finished product.

Kanani’s vinylicious designs are looking so good this year! Can’t wait to see what she dreams up next.

Tonya is whipping up some new Christmas stockings and tree skirts. Fun,fun vintage fabrics. One of a kind.

Every purses is fully lined, has a magnetic snap closure and two pockets. One is the pockets is generally smaller- for a cell phone, and the other is larger with a slot for a pen.

We are very excited to have our very clever friend Hailey Liechty makin’ something for the show. Here’s a little preview of some of the little felt books she has been making. They are a must for any handy gals- or your mother (hint) who just might need a safe place to store her pins and needles while on the go.
I have one of these little babies and I can’t tell you how much easier it is to tote around than a stinkin’ pincushion. Check out Hailey’s fabulous blog here
I heard she’ll also have some clay whimsimobilia to sell as well.

These pin-cushions from Colett Yarro are so adorable you’ll be hesitant to hide them away in your sewing closet and be placing them on the coffee table instead!

PS: Colett, we forgot, which one makes you taller and which one will make you grow smaller?

yes, this is a piece of fabric. and, yes- it will be sewn into something and available at the show…

How I spent my spring break…
I made all of these smocks, while my children frolicked and played with their grandparents.
I decided to go with oilcloth in the smock department, because it makes them so easy to clean.
I have a few more cut out and ready to finish, and a few regularly shaped kid oilcloth aprons to stick in with the bunch.
I need to finish quick so I can move along and have enough time to make big-girl aprons.
