I wish Shopify had some sort of gift registry system but alas, it doesn’t. A (pregnant) friend recently mentioned she was going to add some WilloToons baby onesies & bibs to her shower registry on this site – MyRegistry.com – and I thought that’s pretty cool! Basically once you sign up you can drag the Add to My Registry button to your toolbar & add away!

WilloToons at upcoming local events!

Inspired by this thread on IndiePublic (which I’ve recently fallen in love with & where I posted this originally), I’ve compiled a list of the upcoming San Francisco indie/arts/crafts/shopping events happening.

I know I already said this, but as a reminder… I put a * before the ones that WilloToons/I will be at. Come check out WilloToons merch in person! And please let me know if you’d be down to look all fabulous helping me work my table. :)

Honestly I’m a little nervous, but grateful to know I have friends who can help me. I think Ali, Fanny & Amanda will be big helpers. Gah… I just hope I have enough merch! I need to do a new order. Either way, I will definitely be learning a lot in the next few months, which is always exciting!

Oh & again, if you’re a designer, crafter, indie-shopper/supporter, I highly recommend you check out IndiePublic! I just found it recently & love it! It’s like a MySpace or Facebook, but totally centered around designers, crafters & indie shop owners – aka people just like me! yay!

Hi internet! So guess what? In popular trend (uh, at least in my friend circle of Ali, Aubs & Daisy, who all recently vowed to blog every day) AND by the very kind request of a frequent reader, I am vowing to blog more. Huzzah!

So today is my first attempt, aka..

::::

Crap. OK, I started this yesterday. Wow, already doing awesome! (trying again)

I’ve been wanting to tell you about the following:

  • How much I love Grape Nuts. Just the first thing I thought of, cuz I’m eating a bowl of them now, but seriously? Crunchy goodness.
  • I had a mobile vet come to my house yesterday. Don’t worry, it was just for Kazoo’s 3 year feline rabies shot (since he’s an indoor/outdoor kitty). Thing is he FREAKS at the vet, so I thought I’d try the mobile vet thing & it went really well! He still kinda suspected the strange fellow in our house was going to do something to him, but it was really great that for the whole exam & shot he got to sit in my lap. And the best part was when we were done, I was able to let him jump down and all the while he was in the comfort of his own home. yay! Totally less traumatic than a vets visit and therefore completely worth every penny.
  • How much I’m really having a hard time working on anything except for the WilloToons shop! This is probably worthy of a whole ‘nuther post… of what I am needing. I actually really do need to be putting it out there to my network more. I’m sure the spots I need to fill/help I need to get are right within my community.
  • Again, totally needs it’s very own post, but I’m in a BootCamp right now that is kicking my ass and I am LOVING IT! Today my calves are so sore. I literally woke up to them screaming good morning. That’d be from 20 minutes of stairs and then running yesterday. I’m in week 5 of 6, but I plan to keep it up.
  • I’m working in InDesign today, on a book.
  • I’ve been laying low the last couple days after last weekend’s Mistyfest, but tonight the fun begins again. I have BAMboozled (every Wednesday night), then Aubs & Daisy’s party & then Manlio & Ron’s Art Opening. Those are Facebook links… have I told you how much I love Facebook? :) Hi, I’m 13.
  • I just registered for SXSW08. Stoked!
  • Realizing you might know a lot of these things if you followed my Twitter updates.
  • It’s SUPER windy in SF today. Actually all last night too, I kept waking up to some really furious wind.

I think that might be it for now. Regardless, I gotta get back to work. byeee!

A lot of people don’t even realize I have jewelry in the WilloToons shop, but I do! And Sunday I spent the afternoon & evening crafting away, and ended up with eight new items!

I am very particular about the jewelry I wear… I tend to like really simple, clean pieces, so that’s what I create. I’d love to hear what you think!

Check out the new Jewelry posted in the WilloToons shop!
