When I'm not stitching up coffee sleeves or gocco printing on little shirts, I like to organize rock shows for parents and their kids. Rock-n-Romp has been a labor of love the past 6 years, and it's still going strong with new cities coming on board every year! It's pretty exciting. A couple of weeks ago I held two shows in one day which was, in retrospect, pretty stupid (what am I, Superwoman??), but they were both amazing thanks in part to the awesome crafty skillz of the Mutiny and our comrades Charm City Craft Mafia! There were temporary tattoos, facepainting, coloring and little make-your-own-tambourine stations! It was rad, and I think the Mutineers and Mafia folks had just as much fun as the kids did. Since both the Mutiny and Rock-n-Romp are things I love to be a part of, to combine the two seems natural, and I hope to do more shows with a crafty element!

Extra-special thanks and smooches to Rachel [Red Prairie Press] (and her husband!), Ann [Little Mouse Vintage] and Jennifer [Cotton Monster] for romping with us in Baltimore, and Beth [MagpieDC], Joy [Charming Vices] and Jenny [8th Street Soap Kitchen] for rocking out in Silver Spring! All awesomely nice people with amazing talent, so go check out their work!
