Happy Pizza Party Day! You guys, this is a big day. Pizza is pretty much the best food to ever be invented. Our go-to is always a thin crust with extra cheese and pepperoni. Perfection!

I didn't do a lot of posting beside my daily drawings and really just spent a lot of time cleaning the apartment and organizing my thoughts around my shop. Spring and Summer are really rough for a scarf business and I've been getting ready to expand my offerings again. This time reaching back into a familiar wheelhouse that feels a lot more "me" than some of the other ventures I've tried lately. It's felt pretty great, actually ^_^ But, I'll go into more detail about all that mess later. <br /><br />Here's some fun stuff I found on the internet this week!</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Re:Make was last weekend and since I totally bugged the crap out of you guys in the weeks leading up, I figured I should share some of my thoughts on the show and post waaaaay too many photos. <br /><br />As craft shows go, the organizers were really great. I got all the info I needed in terms of setting up and they created a really intimate space for the show. <a href="http://remake.brit.co/austin-photos/">Brit+Co</a> provided pipe and fabric backdrops for everyone that made the space really consistent and kept your eyes from wandering up to the massive convention center ceiling. That being said, there wasn't a lot of promotion or advertising for the show, so the crowd was really sparse. For me, it wasn't a show for making boats loads of cash (no diving into my silo filled with gold coins, today), but it was amazing for networking with other artists. I got to see some old friends, meet some new ones and was inspired to make new things. Also, I had a legitimate reason to wear a fanny pack and that's pretty great.<br /><br />So here's a massive photo dump of weekend!</span></td></tr>

I found the pinkest one she had :P<br /><br />Not gonna lie, I was a little bummed that I didn't sell much. But it was a slow show for most sellers and it's not that I'm glad they didn't do well, but I kind of am hahaha! At least I know folks weren't just avoiding me because I was stinky or something. I'm definitely looking forward to a better turnout next year. Plus, I'm always one to look on the bright side and I'm so glad to have been included with such <a href="http://remake.brit.co/austin/artisans/">awesome folks</a> and to have been able to hang out with them all weekend! </span></td></tr>

Happy Space Day!!!<br />
<br />
The first Friday of every May is Space Day. I've been completely fascinated with space since I was little girl. I drew pictures of what my spaceship would look like and dream of visiting Mars, because it's obviously the coolest. Andy and I used to visit the <a href="http://thepinksamurai.blogspot.com/2012/01/museum-monday.html">National Air and Space Museum</a> on The Mall in DC all the time and we took a field trip out to <a href="http://airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-hazy-center/">Udvar-Hazy</a> to see Endeavor. I even went to see the <a href="http://www.airspacemag.com/space/from-beyond-57254/">Beyond</a> exhibit in DC twice and pretty much just wept at every photo, thinking about the vastness of our universe and absolutely phenomenal it all is.<br />
<br />
Also, please watch the new <a href="http://www.cosmosontv.com/">Cosmos</a> show. It's incredible. <br />
<br />
I love space ^_^Becky Poolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04715168103234430507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29964100.post-21658605406852044452014-05-01T09:00:00.000-05:002014-05-01T09:00:07.960-05:00May 1 • Happy Lei Day<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Happy Pretzel Day! My first job as a teenager was at the Auntie Annes in the Annapolis Mall. I can still twist a mean pretzel!<br />
<br />
PS: There will be no Fun Stuff post today because I've been online much this week and Andy and I have been / will be running around getting ready for Re:Make this weekend. Check out past <a href="http://thepinksamurai.blogspot.com/search/label/fun%20stuff">Fun Stuff </a>articles to see some of my finds from the last few months! And peep the <a href="http://thepinksamurai.blogspot.com/search/label/happy%20day">Happy Day</a> tag to see all the other drawings from this week.<br />
<br />
