Finally sorted and edited more pictures from the San Francisco Bazaar Bizarre Craft Show that was last December 12-13. It was my first craft show and I can’t be more happy with the Bazaar Bizarre team and meeting so many happy customers and talented artists!

Thank you, Geri, for taking these pictures! I was too busy to think about anything besides getting set up and greeting people visiting my table!

Here are some close up pictures of my table of plushies! I was vending outdoors and the weekend was cold, wet, and rainy, but we still had fun!

Mushrooms up for adoption~

See, his head is bigger than Fan’s head on the right!

Giant Blue Octopus (Elf hat borrowed from one of my helper elves ^_^)

Pea Pod Patch~ in three colors~!

Here’s the entire table~

Of course the absolute highlight of the show was meeting Jenny Hart herself, the founder/creater/queen of Sublime Stitching! I would never have started embroidering if it wasn’t for her Stitch It Kit and I add embroidered details to everything I make now! I was so absolutely thrilled to meet her in person!

I gave her a Summer Gnome and Red Mushrooms and she blogged about her gifts!

Here are some of my customers! Thank you so much for supporting Mochi Studios!

My first customer and first Baby Ninja Bean to go home!

She chose my three most unique mushrooms!
Sour Green Shroom, Grumpy Black Shroom, and Bunny Shroom!

These two ladies looked long and hard for the three perfect Shrooms!
Isn’t it great when you find the perfect gift?

Remember this cutie from BazaarBizarreSF’s pictures?

And here’s the photographer Cindy (BazaarBizarreSF) herself and her Pea Pods!
Thank you for taking wonderful pictures of my booth and the entire show!

My friends Eleen and Lucas and their Ninja Beans~

I met my online friend Flashley Ashley for the first time!

Chris and Steph dropped by too!
Remember the Bride & Groom Pea Pods I made for them for their wedding?

Excuse me, Wen, did you know there’s a Giant Octopus on yo’ head?

Hung out with the cool crafty ladies of Craftster – Kittykill and Jungrrl!

Swapped a cute poop plushie with the lovely Annie of Le Neko Noir!

And meet sweet Miss Allie of Alliebeans here too!

And Tami, creator of the Felt Baron, was so nice and helpful from the very first second we met! I’m happy in love with my green tomato of hers!

Bazaar Bizarre was such a fun experience mostly because of all the wonderful people I met there! It didn’t matter that it was rainy and cold and we were all tired from last minute worrying and packing and unpacking. I wouldn’t trade my first craft fair experience for anything! Thank you so much to the awesome Bazaar Bizarre team! And Thank you to everyone who came to support Mochi Studios!

Applications for the Maker Faire Bazaar Bizarre opens next Tuesday through March 16th! The craft show is part of this huge DIY extravaganza in San Mateo and glorifies the art, craft, and uses of making things! I’ve attended the last two years and have always dreamed of vending at the craft show there. I’m working on some new plushies for the application. Wish me luck!
