No Sleep Til' Brooklyn (yeah, I said it)

June 13, 2007 · Craftsy (Mine), Dolls

I stole your post title, Meg Rooks.

Well, after SO. MUCH. WORK. I think we're really almost ready for Renegade Weekend.

I've got my magazines (both respectable and trashy) and comics for the trip...

I'm running on very little sleep, due to packing,
errands,
last minute-making,
shipping 4 days worth of shop orders,
errands
and a minor car wreck (!!!) with an irresponsible teenager who backed into my beautiful little car all in the last 24 hours.

But. Despite the fatigue, I did manage to eek out some very cute duncies this afternoon.

I will be back one week from now, with loads of pictures, hopefully some good stories, and a big update that will include a big new batch of ADORABLE tees, a few of which I'm taking to Renegade (hint: I've got around 30 kids tees! And some grownup sizes. Hooray!).

In the mean time, wish us luck...we're off in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, with lots of little hostages in tow:

Have a good week, my little applets! See you soon.

Have a great time my dear, and I hope none of your hostages are making escape plans. Looks like she's plotting something to me.
Wish I lived just a little closer, or at least not across the ocean.

Your Beastie Boys reference made me giggle. And now that song is stuck in my head! =]

Rhonda · June 14, 2007 at 10:48 AM

I will be sure to look for you there. I am making a much shorter trip from NJ. My son and his girlfriend live in Queens and we are all going. It sounds like a terrific way to spend a weekend!

Sounds like you need an assistant. I wish I lived in Georgia. And I'd work for artwork and all the other lovelies you make. :)
