Hey there! What? It's August 4? Oh, well you're gonna have to excuse me for being a little late. I'm sure you understand. You're awesome, and thanks for reading!
We kept plenty busy in July, with Craft and STEM opening on the 10th, exactly three months after we signed the lease for the space. Three months of construction is really not bad, though it took longer than we would have liked. But the space is up and running, functioning beautifully, and you should definitely stop by if you haven't already.
We welcomed a new member of the Belnap Family on July 7!
Sir Aaron <3
He's such a sweetie! We now have kiddos' birthdays on July 6, 7, 8 and 15. Still no July 4 birthday. Maybe next time.
Speaking of birthdays...this lil guy turned 7 in July:
aka Finn the Human
We also had an early birthday party for this lil gal:
Complete with custom-made Jessie shirt
He's not the youngest nibling anymore, but dang is he cute!
All the grandkids, ages 10 to 3 weeks
August is MY birthday month, so it's always been my favorite. I started throwing pumpkins (no, not that way....on a wheel!) on July 31 because I cannot wait for Autumn to be here. Also, I've been filming everything.
Our first Beginner's pottery class at Craft and STEM starts on my birthday, August 21, so I'm super stoked about that. My amazing pottery friend Jeannie Awesome is going to teach, and she's coming on board to make sure I don't totally destroy the kilns. Details about the class are coming ASAP! Keep an eye on our social medias, which I'm sure you're already doing because you're here reading this. Seriously, you're the best.
Thanks for reading, y'all! I'll catch you on the other side of 33 years old.
I'm happy to report that the momentum that started at the beginning of October has only continued! Yesterday, October 20, we received a record-breaking five orders, for six items, before noon! Check it out: So awesome! Three of those orders were for capes, which are shipping out today. The other two orders were for handmade goods: Another Death Star and TWO matching Jack Skellington Beanies for 1 year old boys (which, seriously? CUTE!). I'm not going to lie: getting orders for three handmade things at once is a little intimidating. I've structured my Etsy listings so that production time estimates allow me some room in these types of situations. I'm planning to have them all out by Friday at the latest. It's Tuesday, so that's totally doable, considering I already have the supplies on hand. I will probably have to buy more polyfil stuffing...the Death Star pillows take about half of a 12 Oz bag each, but I'm pretty sure that I've got at least t...
Hey, y'all. I'm here to write about pottery today! If you've been following along, you know that I've got a thing for sculpting coral reefs out of clay. I'm honestly pretty obsessed for someone who has never seen a reef up close before. But if you could see my instagram feed these days you'd notice I've been looking at three things lately: Witcher memes (bc c'mon. How hot is Geralt?), coral reef structures and wild mushrooms. The coral reef collection goes back the furthest, because I have been obsessed for a while. See my first set of sea life mugs: It all started in November 2016 with the Star Fish Mug Obsessive texturing. November-December 2016: The finishing process Aaaand totally finished in January 2017 Pretty sure my sister got this one. Possibly my MIL. I got started on the second one while the Starfish Mug was being fired. I know for a fact this one went to my MIL, because she loves Sea Horses Please excuse...
Just sold this beautiful & unique vintage baby afghan on eBay. Obviously I'm pretty stoked about it. I love finding great works of art like this, and I love it even more when other people love vintage crochet too!
