Crafty Bastards Cabin Fever Finds...

I have to admit - this was my first Crafty Bastards. I've been to a TON of craft/art/design fairs and even exhibit at a few. I was out of town for the last few Crafty Bastards, so I'm glad I got to make it today!

I did the VIP because, well, I wanted a mimosa and a bagel. I also wanted to give myself a good start time or else I would have put off going and probably missed it again! I'm prepping for cocktails+craft today, so that's what will take up the rest of my day once I get this post up. (That's also why this will be brief).

Here are my favorite artists, designers and makers from today's Crafty Bastards. They all happen to be local to the DC area. Many of them I have been following for a while, but a few are new to me! They are in no particular order as I love them all equally.
