Post Subject: New Big Crafty Event!!!!!!
Hi everyone!
I'm very excited to announce the Indie Craft Experience. This is going to be a craft sale and fashion show in Atlanta on June 18 at Eyedrum (a really cool art and music venue-- www.eyedrum.org).
We are still working out some details and creating our website, but I wanted to go ahead and tell people about it.
You can check out our website www.ice-atlanta.com and check back often because we'll have stuff up soon. Or if you want to email me, I will send out an email to everyone once our registration information is up.
We are hoping to get people to come from other cities so spread the word! As far as I can tell, this is the first really big crafty event in the Southeast. Look for our ads coming up in Art Papers and Bust.
It's going to be lots of fun!

Hey everybody!
I posted about this earlier but I have more info now so I wanted to post again.
We are organizing a big event in Atlanta for June 18. It will be a craft sale and fashion show and we are having it at an art and music venue called Eyedrum (www.eyedrum.org). It is going to be really great and we're trying to get people to come from other cities. Look for our ad in the next Bust and Art Papers.
So our website is www.ice-atlanta.com
Unfortunately, we've run into a couple of glitches with getting the whole website designed and so there isn't much info up on their but I wanted to let you know that I have a document that I can email out that has all the information and the application page. Basically it is $50 to have a spot in the sale. $50 to be in the fashion show (4 runs--$15 for each additional run) and $85 if you want to do the sale and fashion show. So anyone who wants the document please email me or respond here or on my blog.
We are also offering the opportunity to advertise in our fashion show program for those who can't make it to the ATL or who would rather advertise than participate. And it also includes putting your items in our swag bags. So all you girls who live far away that would be a really great way to let folks know about your website.
ok, crafty love, xoxo

purpledoor - I also go into "finishing phases." I guess I'm just wondering if being crafty is a good use of my time when it seems like I'm *always* cleaning up from projects, acquiring new supplies, etc. By trying to be project monogamous, I would get a lot better about using what I have and not acquiring new stuff unless I am READY to use it.
Having said that, I started a new baby sweater this weekend because my adult sweater was just too big to travel with. I also ordered supplies for a new project (putting mother of pearl buttons on a chair back) that I don't plan to make for probably at least 8 months. Since I will likely be moving in the meantime, I had the supplies shipped to my parents' house in NJ! Ugh! I guess no one's perfect, and with each effort there are setbacks.
I went through an entire file cabinet drawer last night that was stuffed to the brim with art papers for collages and card making. I reduced it to less than 20% of what was in there. I'm going to give the rest to a boys and girls club or something like that. I also went through my spa stuff, since I think I'm pretty much done with that kind of crafting. I am keeping my collection of essential oils... for now... since those things are so darn expensive and hard to track down!
I guess my concern is personal: I'm concerned that I, personally, spend too much time trying to organize multiple projects, and I could better spend that time on schoolwork or housework or exercise or something else. If I become project monogamous, then I wouldn't have to be constantly cleaning and organizing. I would have one thing out, and that's it.
