Oh yes, Friends, Oh yes. I applied and The Sweet Strap was accepted to be one of the 80 vendors at the Cabin Fever Show on February 13, 2011.

I'm going to be veeeeeeeeery busy in the next few weeks sewing and figuring out how best to utilize a 7'x7' space!

Wish me luck, and those of you in the Boston area- I hope you'll come by and visit! I need all the positive vibes I can get!!

Happy Black Friday to You!

I checked my website traffic this morning and was super exited to see a huge jump in views- one of my camera strap covers was featured on the elusive front page of Etsy!

It's the first time in almost a year that anything of mine (Sweet Strap or Aidan's Attic) hit the front page, and I'm super excited!!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving- I ate way too much turkey, but am looking forward to a delicious sandwich in a couple hours with the leftovers!

The Chronic Catnip Company

Got my first delivery of the Chronic today. It was a huge hit. Aidan was crying for me to get my rear in gear opening up the package, and tried pulling the toy I made for him and Grace out of the sewing machine before it was done.

The last few seconds of the video are my favorite.

I'll be making catnip toys with the Crippler Custom Blend- kick sticks - for sale in the Aidan's Attic shop on Etsy and Artfire, but mostly they'll be available at Meade Insurance on Wescott Road, Danielson, CT or when I do craft fairs. These toys are a huge hit with my cats, and my mother's dog is smitten with them too. Go figure!

Twitter Giveaway

I'm doing it- so tweet all about it- a re-tweeterist will be RANDOMLY selected to win a camera strap cover of their choice (and I'll ship worldwide for free as well) once it hits 365 re-tweets! Maybe I'll pick two! The winners will be announced here too. It could be tomorrow, it could be next year. Who knows! It's an experiment for sure! =]

Click here to check out the camera strap cover selection (more to follow- I'm re-doing photography this week- pretty psyched about it!)

Happy October!

Busy!

I've neglected the blog- I just realized I had comments on posts that I was never alerted about, so now I look like a jerk too. I'm so sorry!

I've been super busy this summer, and my biggest task is separating out Aidan's Attic, which will feature only dog collars, leashes and such from The Sweet Strap, which will have all my camera accessories (and some other stuff- coming soon!!). It's much harder managing two stores- but not only that, I'm selling on a lot of different sites now too.

plus my Etsy and Zibbet storefronts. Doing some custom orders and new product development- so seriously, check back often- there will likely be something new!

Christmas in July

There will be a site wide promotion on Etsy of their annual Christmas in July event. The official dates of the event are July 15-31st, but some sellers have started early, so I highly suggest searching for "CIJ" or "ChristmasinJuly" and then narrowing your search down.

Aidan's Attic is one of the stores that started early- offering free shipping world wide. NEW holiday theme collars are being made and will be listed in the next day or so, before the sale starts and deeper discounts will be announced through the month, so stay tuned!!
