The Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair is just about here, so get ready for three days of workshops, demos, vendors, music, food and oodles of yarn and other fibery goodness!  The show runs from this Friday through Sunday (16th – 18th), and is taking place at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake this year!  The admission is $10 a day, but you can purchase a 3-day pass for $25.  Biggie will be sharing a booth with talented painter, Sue Schneider — our booth number is #109, at cross aisle D… so stop by and say hi!

Can’t help but share…

I found out Friday that Biggie will be participating in Renegade Craft Fair Chicago yet again!  And what’s even better is that Biggie will be sharing a booth with soapmakers, Soaphappy!  It will be hard for me to resist buying all of their soapy goodness.  So, mark your calendars for September 11 + 12 for some great Chi-town shoppin’… and stop by our sweet smellin’ booth…

This Saturday I’m participating in INDIEana Handicraft Exchange for the first time.  It will take place at Harrison Center for the Arts in Indianapolis, IN from 12pm – 8pm… be there!

My last show of the year will be Renegade Holiday Craft Fair!  Two days of handmade goodness!  The fair is free to attend and will also offer free trolley rides from the fair to a few spots along Division (Renegade Handmade, Nina, Greenhart Shop and Small Bar). Raffles, free stuff, food and drink vendors will be on hand… oh, and a ton of handmade vendors!!  See you this Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 7pm!

Yes!  Join me and a gaggle of other crafters tomorrow, Saturday the 28th, at Art vs. Craft in Milwaukee for some handmade shopping!  One day only!

Here is this year’s flyer, designed (as always) by The Little Friends of Printmaking:

And be sure to pick up a limited edition Art vs. Craft deck, either at the show or at Sky High in Milwaukee (while supplies last)…

Yep, yep, that’s right… DIY Trunk Show is this Saturday the 21st…

Get all your holiday shopping done in one place!  There are a ton of awesome vendors, as well as food and music… See you there!

If you love yarn, come out to YarnCon this Saturday the 17th!  Check out all the yarny vendors here, and blog here.  I’ll be selling handspun yarn, a few batts and some other of my regular goodies.  Here’s the deets:

Tomorrow I will be traveling to lovely Green Bay, WI to participate in a new show called Art-Craftic on Broadway.  If you live in or near GB or will be visiting this Saturday, stop on by and check out a variety of vendors selling everything from ceramics to jewelry to textiles to paintings.
