Now I&#8217;ve done some modifications (different varieties) and am in the midst of cutting out a bunch.

You know, in case it turns out to be a big flop. I am having a great time, pulling out all the bins and enjoying all the fabrics. Of course my studio looks like a bomb went off but I will get it all back in place soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>I got my box of samples back from that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/We-Make-Dolls-Dollmakers-Patterns\/dp\/1454702494\/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I11CXJ2X2PEN1F&amp;colid=2V71MQ47JYJZB\">book project<\/a> I contributed to.

What else do I have to report? I will be in Brooklyn for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renegadecraft.com\/brooklyn?city=brooklyn\">Renegade Craft Fair<\/a> on June 23 and 24. It is in a new venue- Williamsburg Waterfront. I am so excited to be participating again this year!<\/p>\n<p>I applied to be in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renegadecraft.com\/sanfrancisco?city=sanfrancisco\">San Francisco Renegade<\/a> show in July. I&#8217;ve got my fingers crossed. Flying across country to do a show is a bit scary but I&#8217;d love to try!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been kept away from my studio for more time than I&#8217;d like by too much computer-based business but it always needs to be done. The Land of Nod work was keeping me busy last week and is moving forward. So much going on!<\/p>\n<p>Last thing- I have decided that I&#8217;d like to try hiring someone to help with my sewing. I&#8217;m thinking that I&#8217;d start with just 1\/2 day per week and see how it goes. If you are local to me and are interested, shoot me an email- mimik@pobox.com. I&#8217;ll be putting signs up at some local fabric stores. Not sure how else to find the right person.
