Good Afternoon, Everyone! I have been working on new Note-to-Self Mini books and wanted to take a break and say, “Hi”!

It’s been real quiet over here on the giggleFritz page, crickets REALLY!  There hasn’t been much to write about. Not much creating or sewing has been happening here and it’s all my own fault.   I have my own room/studio/shop to work in, but it has been more of a storage room than anything else.  When I actually sit down to sew, I drag my sewing machine into another room. Pathetic!  So, in the last week I have been cracking down and cleaning out STUFF! I was so happy once I set up my cutting mat and tools, we are all ready to go!

So, I am off to work in my beautiful, productive space!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Spring Thing 2016 (Medium)

I am excited to say giggleFritz and Company will have a booth in this year’s “It’s a Spring Thing” craft show coming in March!  I participated in this craft show in 2013 and enjoyed it very much.  They had a wonderful variety of crafter/artist and independent distributor booths.  The people and food were also terrific!  Admission is $3, but if you bring in a flier you get $1.00 off.  Click on the following links to print off fliers and see a map to the fair.

I hope we see each other on March 19!

Have a great day!

Cake Walk

Today started out slowly and badly. I didn’t pop out of bed as I normally do. I waited until the last possible minute when I HAD to get the little girl up and out of her crib. Everything after that was me trying to pick up the slack. I got to the point where I had to look ahead and look forward to something just to get through the day. I remembered from the morning news it was National Chocolate Cake Day!! 🙂
That was good and all, but I had nothing that even closely resembled a chocolate cake. I made it my goal for the day to make sure we had chocolate cake for dessert tonight.
Next, I remembered my husband isn’t crazy about frosted chocolate cake. At birthdays, when this is served, he shares a couple bites of my cake. He does, however like brownies. I was really looking forward to decorating a cake, but opted to make brownies and throw some sprinkles on top.
Bam!!
Brownies for dessert, I had a worthwhile goal for my day! All would share the fruits of my labor! !!! Lol!
My day was not so bad. I have been working on more Socktopus guys for an upcoming craft show in March. I will post the flier soon.
Happy National Chocolate Cake Day, Everyone!! 🙂

Happy New Year, 2016!

Yes, I know it is twenty days past the New Year celebrations, but I hadn’t wished you all a Happy New Year, yet.  So, there it is. 🙂

I have three resolutions for 2016:

  1. Get more sleep
  2. Plan ahead better
  3. Read at least 3 book I have never read

What are your resolutions and how well have you been executing them?

Have an excellent day!

Happy Halloween!!

adminLeave a comment

Normally, I would start off by saying some cliché thing about how I haven’t written anything in so long and I can’t believe it’s the last day of October. Well, I CAN believe it. I have been downright Busy lately and I am even enjoying it! Tomorrow is a big day too, but after I get through it I will try to write some more then. Until then, Happy Halloween, Everyone! 🙂

September 2, 2015- Happy Birthday to me!

adminLeave a comment
...to me!!
…to me!!

I had a wonderful birthday today!  Got up and made pancakes and coffee.  Husband and daughter gave me great birthday presents: BOOKS! AND they are about LIGHTHOUSES!!  Did a few things around the house, went to the playground (in the humid gross weather 🙁 ), and finished the day by going out for a steak dinner.

My crafty contribution for today is this Birthday doodle to myself.  Nice!

September 1st – Start of ‘BER Season

adminLeave a comment

Happy September 1st everyone! Not only is it the first day of September, it is the first day of the ‘BER season: September, October, November and December.  This is my most favorite time of the year for the food, the cool air, the beautiful foliage, football and more.  It is the perfect time to be inspired to create something new.  I hope you enjoyed your September 1st and Happy ‘BER season to you!

Coffee Break Fest Review

adminLeave a comment

How was the Coffee Break Fest Craft Fair in Stoughton, Wisconsin on August 15th, you ask?  I, of course, will say it was a blast!  It always is. Even though the temperature was around 90 degrees F with very little breeze, it was another great year.  The community of this town is wonderful! I sold a few things, saw some familiar faces and sampled some great locally roasted coffee (I brought along a container of ice for iced coffee, but one competitor had iced coffee for sampling too.)

This guy was pretty awesome!  He not only bought one of my Socktopus guys, he improved on it and showed me the very same day!  He bought the Socktopus and left.  He, then came back to show me he added adhesive hook and loop to the legs and stuck it on his hat.  That is a cool customer!

This year I splurged and bought the collector’s mug.  It is a beautiful handmade mug that holds ALOT of coffee. A nice addition to my ever-growing collection.

My sisters and I had a great time again this year.  I am planning on returning again next year. I will just pray harder for beautiful weather.

Have a great day!
