Molly and I put our talents together and came up with a tote and shoe set. Perfect for the fall season coming up. You can find them in my shop and hers.

Enjoy your last few days of summer.

My First Booth.

I had a great time at the Roller Derby. I forgot my light ... so I had this makeshift spotlight clipped onto a dollie. It was very bright in everyones face and shadowed a lot of the things for sale. But sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself and just go with it. I still managed to sell a little.

(nyk-lectic) at the Roller Derby.

Trial and Error.

I am going to be setting up a booth at a few shows ... so here is what my set up is gonna look like ... well kinda. There are few small things that still need work and ... today my pop and I are making a mini coat rack for my purses.

Busy Busy Busy.

It was hard to get a good photo of the sketches in my book ... but this one is a little clear. It is an idea of how I want to set up my booth for the craft fair. I am trying to create a set up that can be used again. These happen to be the colors that I am into right now ... so I thought they would be perfect. I am going to try setting up a trial table soon ... those photos should be better. [blush]

Handmade Brigade.

I got picked to sell my work at the Handmade Brigade. An indie craft fair put on by Tall Mouse and Nina. This will be my very first indie craft fair ... I am so excited. I have been busy sketching booth ideas ... and I will post some pictures soon.

Friday Five.

Come by the shop for a closer look.

Friday Five.

The Friday Five.

I attempted to take (nyk-lectic) to a local swap meet ... but I am not quite ready yet. I need to have papers and numbers and things I've never heard of.

So with the stash of things I made ... I am going to post five new items in the shop on Fridays. Here is the first five.

Subdued.

I always choose colors that are more muted. But since they are hidden inside these purses ... I thought a little brightness would be fun. I will be updating the shop this week ... and these will be in it.

Pleated Purse.

After a few trials ... here is the pleated purse. I have seen a few designs like this one (somewhere on the internet). Only they had more pleats. I had to have my own and this is what I came up with. I forgot to sew a label in this one ... so that makes it mine. But I have a few cut out for the shop ... more pictures soon.

In The Werx.

New and exciting things are happening with (nyk-lectic) ... but I can't reveal just what ... yet. But here are some of the new things that I have been busy with.


And heres a close up.

Have a great Holiday weekend. Cheers.

Camera. iPod. Gadget Case.

I have been working on some new things for (nyk-lectic). Here is my new camera case. This is still the prototype that needs a few more adjustments ... but it holds my camera just fine. There is a small pocket inside to hold an extra memory card or an extra game. I couldn't photograph a camera inside because I only have one.

La Loteria

There are cards for most stores now days. So I created a little pocket to keep them all in one spot. It is also handy to hold your license and some cash for a night on the town.

They are made of cotton and are machine washable.

This batch was made with Loteria cards (mexican bingo) printed on the fabric.




I should have them photographed and in my etsy shop this weekend.
