Fridays are for cleaning. Yeah right. This week has been a doozy and the last thing I plan on doing is any cleaning.
More on Sunbonnet Sue’s history here.
I found a set of Sunbonnet Sue dish towels at my parents house that belonged to my grandma. Each towel is the day of the week with a different chore and I thought I’d post one each day.
Thursday is market day, and that’s what I’m gonna stick with on this one.

Wednesdays are for sewing and mending.

I found a set of Sunbonnet Sue dish towels at my parents house, that had belonged to my grandma. My grandma was born in 1910, and I’m not sure if they were hers originally or maybe even were originally handed down to her from someone earlier.

Today is laundry day. Sorting, washing and drying aren’t such a chore in our house, as is folding, hanging and putting away the clothes.
So, I’ve been working on more framed yoyos lately and there’s a reason. I was accepted into the Nada Farm Barn Sale, a curated and juried sale. This is will be my biggest show I have done. I went to the fall sale last year. Little did I know then that I would be attending this spring, not as a guest, but as a vendor. It’s seems surreal.
This event has been named by Flea Market Magazine as one of the best flea markets coast to coast, and while there will be plenty of vintage finds, there are also plenty of new and handmade items offered by all the vendors. Here is a complete list of vendors. If you live in the Northern Illinois area, I’d love to invite you to this unique event. Please read my experience from last fall for an idea of what you could expect to see at the Nada Farm Barn Sale and check out Anne Marie’s blog.
I will be there with my yoyos of course, as well as jewelry, paper products and of course other things that can be found in my etsy shop… oh yeah, and my coin machine will be there too!
Buying - vintage pillow cases from Salvation Army and Goodwill
Creating - laundry detergent with Dacia
Eating - rainbow cupcakes from easter. (My mom made these using box cake batter mixed with different flavors of jello and they taste AhhhMazing!)
Listening - to PRX on XM radio, it’s a talk radio show filled with podcasts and shows like the Moth and Story Corps.
Loving - this spring, riding my bike to work, flowers blooming everywhere
Reading - the Hunger Games Trilogy
Seeing - our cat lying on a pillow like it’s his personal throne (this is very unusual because he usually only lays next to things and never on top of them.
Watching - Game of Thrones season two aaaand My Cat From Hell, lol
Wanting - a loooong vacation from work where I could garden and soak in the sun, lay in bed and read and work in my studio around the clock.
Here is a portion of the instagram pictures I’ve taken over the last few months. Still going strong on 365. There might be a day or two (like this morning) when I realized I forgot to post my instagram picture from yesterday, but I did take one yesterday and I posted it immediately.
This week instagram finally went live for android users. Now there are a whole new slew of people sharing pictures. If you are new to instagram (you can use on iphone, ipod touch or android) and/or want to check out the rest of my pictures, I’m robayre on there. Look me up.
It’s April First, but no joke, Courtney you won the chalkboard giveaway. I’ll be sending you an email shortly.
Friday night I decided to finally put together a Society6 site and offer some of my images for print. I’ve been wanting to make poster sized images for a while and this site makes it so easy to do that. I also love the idea of being able to make iphone cases and skins from my work. I have an image concept for a poster that I’ve been wanting to create for a couple of years and I finally was able to put it together last week. I’m not sure if I want to offer it on Society6 though because I’d like to get a print done for myself first to make sure that it looks good large.
With Matt’s help, I widened my blog a bit to make it a bit more current. Of course all of my old images were fit for the smaller size so old posts might look a little odd, but I’m happy to move forward with slightly larger images. Widening the blog meant widening the banner which led to Arrested Development jokes “Take a Look at Banner, Michael.” Quick Robyn PSA, if you haven’t watched Arrested Development, what’s your problem? Watch it immediately and thank me later.
edit: it has been brought to my attention that my blog might look wonky, but I think if you delete your history or cache, and refresh my blog it should look better.
We went to see Hunger Games last week and I really liked it a lot, so I’ve officially jumped on the band wagon and am now reading the book on Kindle. Go see the movie, I recommend it. The book, well, I’m not done so I can’t recommend it yet, but I like it so far.
Check back tomorrow for a post on my mailart contributions for the ihanna swap.
