More Events--

If I'm lucky I'll be able to do a few local events this year. I got my name in for a dealers table at Midwest Fur Fest, an anthro con down in Chicago in September. Don't know if I got it yet, the dealer info goes out next month to everyone. But I'd sure like to...

There's a masquerade of last year's Fur Fest up on YouTube, they had a record number of 219 people in complete body fur suits, and attendance according to another site online was 1,500 for the two day event. Here I thought it was a small show! This is bigger than most of the Windycons I went to.

So I'm hoping that I can get in, I'll be carrying standing animal dolls with and without clothing, plus the tarot decks, cat toys and all the animal paper dolls. That should fill up the entire table. I might even try to do some badge art, all done before the show of course, it's too hard to do them up at the table.

I'm still waffling over doing Pugfest, the table cost is $75 and it's only running for one afternoon.

The local new age pagan Ostara festival at Hart Park April 1 is another I want to get in to, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet and it's getting down to the wire. Trying to contact ANYONE in that group seems to be almost impossible. Their site online hasn't been updated since 2003, and I thought they were defunct, but apparently not. They just never update.

Been Working Hard

Forty 'meditation mats' for selling out on the west coast. Those took a while to do, they each required three layers of fabric and I had to make a channel through the center so a packet of catnip could be inserted (they're washable that way). Catnip packets get done tonight after LOST is over, then they get boxed up and shipped out.

They sort of look like placemats. I've got blue print on solid blue, and a green print on a solid green underlayer. Nice, but lots of sewing time. The center fabric is actually felt, to make it somewhat stiff. It's sort of a muted down answer to the 'boogie mat' someone else is putting out.
