The handmade telephone pole displays were a hit! I had a feeling I’d get a few “Are these Jesus crosses?” comments over the weekend, but we didn’t. I spent this weekend camped out in the Lumiere’ Place atrium for Indie Underground. Lucky for me, I sat right behind my pal, Kat. She’s a friggin’ hoot. We felt completely out of place at the Fashion Week extravaganza, and spent most of Friday and Saturday people-watching.

Turns out, we’re not very fashion-y.

Yet, I did score a delicious burger from the Burger Bar, walked away with three darling headbands from JustLiv and the octopus pillow from Kat at Katatomiclabs. These things combined made for a fanatastic event.

It was hard to resist doing a roll of cartwheels down the red carpet. It was like they put it there just BEGGING me to show off my nine year old gymnastics skills. Thank goodness I held back- I would have pulled every muscle in my body.

Really, the best part of every show is spending time with the crafty folks I love. We all seemed to be a bit delirious by the middle of Saturday afternoon which provided the perfect environment for giggle fits. Without much sleep, we can get pretty loopy.

There was talk of capes and making t-shirts that say “My Crafts Will Kill Your Face.” Loopy, I tell ya.

Indie Underground reminded me how much I love that I found “my people“- these kooky crafty folks who are all completely different from anyone I’ve ever met. An abundance of unique personalities and an overload of creativity is enough to inspire anyone to create.
