Maxi Fantastic

Had an amazing time at the Maxi – Craft fair at Re/Dress last night.  The PiC helped me set up and Bevin, being the queen that she is, gave me the most comfy chair since standing wasn’t an option I’d have like the other crafters.  I was positioned next to a lovely lady by the name of Pam who made beautiful steampunk inspired jewelry. We shared lovely discussions about swing dancing and how I got broken.

There was all sorts of crafts from hand embroidered handkerchiefs, knitted sea creatures to some beautiful photography.  In true Re/Dress fashion though there was also some fat positive time.  It’s something that I don’t always talk about publicly but it is something that is on my mind constantly.  Luckily there is a woman who not only thinks and talks about it but is putting it into a film for all to see.  Her name is Kira Nerusskaya and she is putting together a documentary called Fat Girls Float.  It’s a film which will give a voice to plus size women from multiple countries.  She has financed the entire project on her own and has been raising finances on Kickstart.  She has only three more days in which you can pledge so if you are able to give anything, hit this lady up.  It’s an awesome cause.

In other news, my dear friend Caitlin and Justin are visiting us while they are in town for the One of a Kind Craft Show.  Caitlin is the genius behind Rebound Designs which some of you might remember I worked for for a short time.  I can back her quality not just as a former helper but as an owner of one of these amazing purses.  They are super fun and make great gifts, I’m just saying y’all.

Well now its time to just spend sometime relaxing today and enjoying the little furry babies.  Hope you all enjoy your Thursday as well!

Huggles and Kisses!
