Hi there!  Sorry I have been so tardy with my blogging!  I just wanted to let you know real quick about the launch of  OUR GUEST ARTIST SERIES OF ONESIES!  Once a month, we are going to be releasing a new, limited edition onesie by a guest artist that we adore. They will be available through www.sheriffpeanut.com only, and will be limited to 100, 35 6 month size, 35 12 month, and 30 18 month. 
 
Our inaugral artist is Britton Walters, the maniacal genius behind www.nerfect.com Mr. Walters is an artist working and living in the Chicago area. By day, he makes his living designing packaging, and at night, he spends a lot of time drawing pictures of things like ghosts with mustaches, magical ducks, hot dogs of a diabolical nature, and the like. We are thrilled to have him be our first onesie, with the magical duckie!  check it out at http://www.sheriffpeanut.com/shop/artist-series/artist-series-nerfect.html/ and get to ordering cause these ain’t gonna last, and you’re gonna be quacking mad if you miss it!   See what I did there?
 
Upcoming artists (in no particular order):
Kathleen Habbley
Shawnimals
Johnny Sampson
Carole Plese
Loyalty and Blood

Hey, why don’t you sign up for the SP mailing list to find out about the monthly guest artist and any other events that might bring the Sheriff to your town!

This weekend signifies the close of my craft fair season, and why not go out with a bang? I’ll be participating in two great fairs in Chicago this weekend. The first is Depart-ment located at the AV-aerie, on the corner of Fulton and Damon. That one is starting Friday evening, and running through Sunday.

The second is Renegade Holiday, located at Pulaski Park Auditorium. That one is going on Saturday and Sunday. Whooo! Wish me luck!

I know this is a little late, but I just wanted to give a shout out to Washington DC’s Crafty Bastards craft fair!  As usual, everyone was amazing, from the organizers and the volunteers to the customers.   I love doing this fair, and not just cause I get a chance to see my nieces, who live in Arlington.  I didn’t get to leave my booth much, despite my mother being there to help (thanks, Ma!), but I did get to run by and see my buddies David and Maggie from Loyalty & Blood, Vic and Charlie from Girlypants, Kelly and Kasey from Biggs and Featherbelle and Jeni and Yuko from Saltlick, NYC.  Other than that I didn’t really get to leave my booth.   I didn’t get much of a chance to  mess around in DC either, but we did go to the Phillips Collection and saw a lot of fantastic modern art and to the Jim Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian, which was AWESOME.

In other Crafty Bastard news, thanks to everyone who voted for me in the Craftiest Bastard ‘08 contest.   I WON!   I am so proud.  Thank you all for all your support!   And my parents insist on me adding a correction that I am not, technically, a bastard.

You may have noticed a few new deputies at the Sheriff Peanut Camp.  Sheriff Peanut wants you! to send pics of you, your children, your dog, whatever for use in our “Peanut Gallery”, that is, our gallery of real life peeps enjoying their Sheriff Peanut gear.  Just email a jpeg to info@sheriffpeanut.com and make sure you put a name and location.  For example “Please enjoy this picture of Maggie from Springfield in her monkey onesie”.  INSTANT FAME!  And everyone love instant fame!
