Yesterday I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago. There must have been hundreds of exhibiters and a ton of shoppers. I guess no-one worried to much about the recession when you can buy a $25 dollar long sleeve hoodie with edgy type. Once we found a spot to park in the non-plowed side streets of Wicker Park, it was amazing to see so much creativity in one place. It was obvious by the business cards (which I have to say were quite creative) that many of these people were/are graphic designers. With more t-shirt lines and letterpress cards, I felt bad I didn't find something. Although as usual picked up a little something for my daughter. If you can, check it out.

Living up to my name
Ok, I admit, something has happened as an adult. I know longer see the snow and get excited. I realized this when I woke up yesterday to our first real snow. I took one look out the window, decided not to go to my morning yoga class, have my daughter stay home from school, and wait until the roads cleared before leaving the house. That's the joy of working for yourself. On the other side, I was working until 8, but a small price to play. Now my daughter on the other hand, couldn't wait to get out and play with the snow. I supposed that reinforces why I named my company winter and construction. That's my sense of humor. And it sounded better than "we should move somewhere warm". Not as catchy.
