Does anyone have the name (and location) of a good, free, circus- or vaudeville-type font? I'd be in your debt if you can tell me where to look for one. Right now I have "Circus Ornate" and "Carnival MF," but neither are quite what I'm after.

Even something plain, similar to the title font for Moulin Rouge would work.

Anyone?

There's no place like it. Italy was amazing--I have tonnes of new ideas--but it's good to be back where my sewing machine and fabric are.

Already begun: designs for murano-style flower necklaces, lovely soft hair flowers, new skirts.

Update to the shop, including the afore-promised kokeshi and miruku: August 15th (Monday).

I've been thinking of making a food circus for a while now. hmmmm. Anyway, these are two tiny paintings I did this weekend. I think they are like little clowns in the food circus. Dolci is juggling.

Where are my dayum mixer blades?

I remember packing them...now that all the boxes are unpacked, they are nowhere to be found, along with my measuring spoons.

Same box.

This spells trouble.
