The GREAT Craft Festival!!!!

Hello faithful readers,

So, did anyone other than me read the title of this blog and instantly think of Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin? Its fitting for the season that's for sure! Not to mention a classic.

The Great Craft Festival is being held at Cashman Center, November 4th - 6th and Paper Dolls is going to be there! We are super excited for our first large craft fair but also exceedingly nervous! The booth fee was not a meager amount for our little business and we are all having nightmares of no one showing up, not being able to process credit cards due to a freak internet connection mishap, selling nothing, and any number of other mini craft disasters you can imagine!

We have been working away creating all kinds of crafty art with a conscience - the sweatshop is back in business. Also, we have enlisted the help of family and friends for making us an awesome display fixture, assisting with set-up, and just begging them to attend and pass the word on. We've ordered bags, tissue paper (because that makes everything pretty) and new business cards. I tell you, there has never been a time where I've felt more official or more broke!

So, please plan on coming to the Great Craft Festival in a couple of weeks and tell all of your friends! Here are the details, we hope to see you there:

Great Craft Festival
Cashman Center Exhibit Hall
November 4th (10-6), 5th (10-6) and 6th (10-5)
850 Las Vegas Blvd N
Cost: $8 for adults (but we have a $2 off coupon - see below!!!!)

Art Felt

We heart felt (especially because some felt is made out of 100% recycled plastic soda bottles)!  These are a few other reasons to love felt:

  • it doesn’t biodegrade
  • is hypo-allergenic
  • is moth-proof
  • is mildew and odor-resistant
  • is light
  • contains no irritants or carcinogens
Look at the fine, fabulous, felt art that caught our eyes this week:


Ruth: "Just checking out felt art, saw this and LOVED it! I really like the use of differnet colors and mixing the felt with buttons. The maticulous needlework is really impressive. Don't forget to also check out "A long time coming" by A Little Bit of Just Because!"


Lauren: "I don't know exactly what these are but I love them. They look like colorful little deviled eggs or cell cross sections that give me flashbacks to Bio 190 at UNLV and a cute lab GA who wore old school Doc. Martens with black socks and shorts! But, either way, they make me happy. One wouldn't have done it - you need the montage!"


Gracie: "How yummy are these cupcakes?!  The detail is delicious... the glass beads, the blanket stitching, I can't even take it.  You could use these as pin cushions, or place them in "exploding cards" that we'll be posting soon, as gifts.
