My first few posts for 2015 will be all about stuff I did in 2014 actually. I'm so slow, lol. November and December were very busy for me work wise. I traveled WAY more for work than I would have liked, but I still did a lot of fun stuff for myself in between.
Went to Wasabicon and I'm working on a video about that.
No, that's not me. I'm a lady.
Went to a doll show and working on a video about that too.
Spent my birthday in Orlando and had a wonderful time.
Went to a museum fashion exhibit.
It was pretty cool, but not exactly my cup of tea.
While I was on the road for work I stayed in several hotels.
The best was the Residence Inn in Sebring, FL.
The worst was the Microtel Inn in Zephyrhills, FL.
Just a little fyi in case you are ever in either of those places.
When I would come home I would always make my weekly visit to the Thrift Store. During November and December I found so much stuff you would not believe it. I'm going to do a couple of posts to show it all to you.
One thing I started working on in December and still need to finish are some display units I'm building. I applied to be a vendor for a doll show in February and still don't know if I got in. In case I do, I want to be prepared. And in case I don't, I didn't want to spend any money so that's why I'm making my own displays out of cardboard, foam and paper.
Well, that's what I've been up to and what I've been working on.
Let's all have a good 2015 and I'll see you more in the new year!
That does sound like a busy and adventurous fall... looking forward to hearing about the details.
ReplyDeleteAlso eyeing speculatively the display construction, as there were some holiday adventures that led to a population explosion, with the result that I want to build a sort of bleacher thing or two, to simplify seating.
Hi, Smaller! The displays I'm making are on the larger, kinda showy side, but scaled back they might work for what you have in mind. I'm telling you right now though, that I'm making a hot mess as I figure it out what I'm designing.
DeleteBelated happy birthday & new year :-). You were busy! I look forward to the doll show and Wasabicon video, and your many new thrift store finds. The display looks great, I hope you can go to the show.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Night Owl! Happy New Year to you too. Looks like the guy who is running the show is having some medical issues and has already had to cancel the first show he was supposed to do in January and if he's not recovered, the February show wont happen either. I'm still going to build my sets though since I already started them.
DeleteHappy New Year! Looking forward to all of these posts - you've been busy! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, jSarie!
DeleteHappy new year - actually, I'm not quite done with 2014 yet either, particularly not blogwise. The size of that thrift store promises good things, I'm curious about your finds!
ReplyDeleteAnderson, it's the best Thrift Store I have ever ever ever been in. I love it to pieces.
DeleteHappy New Year and happy belated birthday, Muff. I'm suuuuper excited to see how your display turns out. You're so talented, I just know I'm gonna be floored. I'm also excited about seeing your Thrift Store purchases. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy India! Don't be floored yet, lol. The display is kinda funky on the inside, but hopefully covering it will hide the mess I'm making.
DeleteThat cosplay looks so good! <3 I'm thrilled about both of the videos. : D
ReplyDeleteHopefully your birthday was a blast and you enjoyed it.
The stand looks good so far and making one yourself wasn't a bad idea, you often save in costs a lot when it's homemade. : >
Hi, Uraru, and my birthday was indeed a blast! I'm all about saving money so yep, a homemade stand was the only way to go.
DeleteHi Muff, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou've been quite busy these last two months!
Kisses Billa
Hey there, Billa and a Happy New Year to ya!
DeleteHappy New Year, Muff!
ReplyDeleteThat doll display you're working on looks fabulous. Hope you're able to be a vendor at the upcoming show. I look forward to seeing your thrift store finds.

Hiya, Debbie! Looks like the show might not happen due to the guy in charge having some medical problems but I'm committed to the displays anyway even though I'll probably just dismantle them again.
Deletehappy new year to you and your dollies! can't wait to see your thrift store goodies.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Shirley! I found so much good stuff at the Thrift Store I was beyond astounded. I'm looking forward to going through it all and sharing it with everyone.
DeleteHello from Spain: Happy New Year. Your last year was very interesting. Orlando is a great destination. I love to visit Florida. For us Florida's sun and heat. I'm looking forward to seeing your new creations. Your shopping at thrift stores are always awesome. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta, Orlando is a great destination. I only live 2.5 hours away so you would think I would go more often. It's expensive though so that's probably why I don't, lol.
DeleteHappy New Year to you! You always get some really nice items at your thrift store. I am looking forward to that post. Your display seems like a nice display. Please share pictures of your booth.
ReplyDeleteHi, Georgia Girl! Happy New Year! I've set up some tables in my living room so I can do a mock up of what my booth will look like even if I don't actually get to do the show. I'll show it off either way.
DeleteHappy New Year! I can't wait to see your videos on the travels you had.
ReplyDeleteHey there, Verona and Happy New Year to you!
DeleteOK, I have my popcorn! I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ms. Leo. I'm almost ready too.
DeleteYou know we are all anxious to see what you bought at the thrift store. Happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vanessa! My place is looking like Hoarder Central, so I have a lot of thrift store goodies to rifle through.
DeleteHappy New Year! Late wish that your birthday was fun - looks like it was. Glad to read you had a good time and gladder that you'll be sharing the photos here. Thrift store finds and displays-to-come? "I'll be back" as Arnold says.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, D7ana and thanks for the birthday wish!
