I have been busy getting ready for a show the first weekend in December....ok honestly, not that busy. I'm working on some new things though, the mind is always working. I'm out of the sketching stage of things, and decided to get a cloak or two done. After getting one all cut out I decided to try my hand at Puff and slash. Kinda Landskneckt meets Celtic, I guess. I can't wait to finish and post it, meanwhile You can check out the "photo journal" im doing on FB about it...just search for Kathryn Smith.

I know i'm busy getting ready for the holiday season Yule and Christmas. My kiddos have the expensive lists like DS, camera, Portable DVD player. I'm not expensive, serger, embroidery machine, GPS, new camera, lol..ok maybe I am, but at least they are all practical right?

In the meantime, I am opening my doors to doing commissions. If you want them by Christmas, I have to know ASAP, If for a specific faire or event, let me know the deadline. COntact me I'll happily work with you on it. Also is also open for commissions. She is a wonderful designer and seamstress.
