It's FRIDAY!! Almost time for CRAFT HAPPY!!

We are really, really looking forward to tomorrow's show - so many talented artists, a beautiful day, and hopefully a lot of visitors!

If you haven't already, check out our article in from Inside Bay Area (Fremont Argus, Hayward Daily Review). It is also on the SJ Mercury News website.

Also, we were featured with an article in the Ohlone College Monitor yesterday (starts on page 1, then go to page 6). Congrats to one of our artists, Melinda Mae, for having a picture and caption in the article!

See everyone tomorrow!! Please stay tuned for a few more posts today. . . = )

Jinny Ly @ CRAFT HAPPY

Sweets should not be limited to just being eaten! We think that the best sweets deserve to be remembered time and again, and Jinny Ly has done just that - these adorably cute creations will be at CRAFT HAPPY tomorrow! Our personal favorite - the biscuit cookie earrings!

Sweet cake earrings, yum!!

Cupcakes, without the calories!

Cat Scratch Designs @ CRAFT HAPPY

Looking for a sweet but sassy statement piece? Check out the selection of jewelry that Cat Scratch Designs will have at CRAFT HAPPY tomorrow! Cat Scratch makes both full and kid size jewelry.

Some of Cat Scratch's earrings!

Child's bracelet

Mary Van Note @ CRAFT HAPPY

Ok, so you could use your imagination to guess what it would be like to date comedian and artist Mary Van Note. Or, you could stop by on Saturday and pick up one of her zines for yourself. While you're at it, check out her t-shirts and totes and edgy cross stitch too.
Look for her with UnderWing Designs and Hagar's Hairclips!

Beverly Travlos @ CRAFT HAPPY

Are you as excited as us that the weather is balmy and flowers are blossoming everywhere? Beverly Travlos' handmade jewelry looks perfect for Spring time! Find some earrings or a necklace for your next soiree!

Allie & Belle Designs @ CRAFT HAPPY

We'd both agree that hand writing notes and letters should never go out of style! E-mail is wonderful, but we think everyone should have that joy and magic that accompanies opening a handmade card. = )

We're happy to have Allie & Belle's adorable, chic line of stationery and cards at CRAFT HAPPY this weekend!

Check these out!

Blue Moon Designs @ CRAFT HAPPY

Light up your life (and strap on that utility belt) with some of the slightly odd and completely charming gear from Blue Moon Designs. Her light up / glow in the dark accessories will make you the bell of the midnight ball! Check out some of these lovelies:


LED flower clip

Super cute pocket belt

Devilish LED head band

Cherish @ CRAFT HAPPY

Looking for a stylish and streamlined way to display your pictures, notes and mementos? Cherish makes handmade fabric memory boards! With many different fabric choices, you're sure to find one that suits your taste. These would make excellent gifts.
Here's a sampling. . .


See more this Saturday at CRAFT HAPPY!

Cat Happy!

I'm hard at work with my newest adventure, Lolocat Fabrics. Just finished a crocheted "Lolo", here he is with the real Lolo (aka Laurel).



Here is the real Lolo again - such a good model!

Hopefully I'll have some fabric and cards out on Saturday!

UnderWing Designs @ CRAFT HAPPY

Looking for something stylish to tote? UnderWing Designs will feature some lovely handbags, most made with vintage clothing!

Check out these, ready for Spring with their sweet florals and batik prints:




Catch UnderWing Designs at CRAFT HAPPY this Saturday!!

Yasmin Perez @ CRAFT HAPPY

Are you as awestruck as us? Jewelry designer Yasmin Perez's jellyfish are breathtaking pieces - she's managed to make metal look ethereal, floating and quite delicate. We're really looking forward to what she'll bring to CRAFT HAPPY!

The Curious Bee @ CRAFT HAPPY

Alongside Sylvia Min (see previous post) will be The Curious Bee! Shelby particularly likes the name, we wonder why :)
Jill Ringler's design concept embraces what we should all aspire to - look to what might otherwise be discarded and transform it into something new (and better!).
Here's some of her accessories:

Cross-stitch Umbrella pin

Child's apron, made from reclaimed fabrics


Coasters made with reclaimed fabrics

Sylvia Min @ CRAFT HAPPY

Designer Sylvia Min makes handmade, eco-friendly accessories for both you and your home. Watch for her selection of totes, pouches, pillows and brooches at CRAFT HAPPY this Saturday.

Sylvia's tote bags are made of organic cotton and feature unique hand-stitching and hand-painted detailing - no two are the same!

Woody Miller Art @ CRAFT HAPPY

Woody Miller's art has captured our hearts - his work is wonderfully imaginative and his use of color is exceptional. Any of his pieces would be a welcome addition to a child's room (or one's living room, really!). He also has some lovely little bird felt ornaments.




P.s. We're hoping Woody has some copies of the book he's just illustrated, "Meet the Howlers" at our show this Saturday. It looks fantastic! If not, check it out here. Order it through him and he'll sign a copy for you!

Luv Paws @ CRAFT HAPPY

We've been in luv with Luv Paws for a while now. Last year we bought an adorable camera bag that we've subsequently toted all over town (and as far away as Tokyo). The bag has held up beautifully, gotten lots of compliments, and puts a smile on our face whenever we see it. It's really hard not to smile at Luv Paws adorably cute selection of bags, wallets and accessories - all 100% hand-dyed cotton.

Check out a few of our faves:

Look What I Made @ CRAFT HAPPY

Each piece of Look What I Made's jewelry is proof that handmade is better, hands down! All of the copper, brass and metal pieces are hand cut with Look What I Made's own hydraulic press. There's also an inspired selection of vintage game piece jewelry.

So the next time you're thinking "Blerg, I have nothing to wear with this outfit!", think again! These quirky pieces would look great with everything.

Wusketeer @ CRAFT HAPPY

Wusketeer's pouches are practical, polished, and feature some geometrically stunning prints! We love the Zoe pouch (pictured above). Everyone needs a pencil case - we love the plastic ones from childhood, but isn't this far more stylish? These work really well with crochet hooks, too. :)
Also of interest - some very chic iphone/Blackberry pouches and Spring-ready clutches.

The Spun Monkey @ CRAFT HAPPY

Calling all knitters, crocheters, fiber artists, or those that simply love to drool over gorgeous, handspun yarn - make sure to visit The Spun Monkey at CRAFT HAPPY next Saturday!
Some of the Spun Monkey yarns feature falklands wool and rescued fibers - even recycled sari silk fibers! The results are amazing, and certainly one of a kind. Spun Monkey also has felt scarves.
