Online Christmas Show

 Hello!  I have been busy getting ready for my next show later this month at the Washington County Fairgrounds   It's two weekends  October 21, 22, 23 and 29, 30, 2011  10am to 6pm.

   We had our fall show last month at the Covered Bridge Festival.  We had beautiful weather and a huge turn out.  I am trying to replace some of the most popular items that sold out and I'm working on lots of new Christmas items for this next show.  That is why I haven't posted for awhile! 
I also wanted to let you all know about an online "Old Fashioned Christmas Craft Show"  By old fashioned that just means that everything is handmade!  There will be other bloggers that will be included in the craft show.  Here is just a small list of the bloggers that are going to participate.

Craft Show Inventory Pics

Hi!  Here I am again less than a month before my craft show and the panic has now hit me!  I have just finished up some nodder scarecrows and added them to some of my other items that I put on my counter.  I put them there so I can keep track of what I have done and what I still want to do.  I have put some of my things away in totes.  I just need to go back and put prices on them. 
I do this every year but it seems like I work better under pressure.  Ha!

I will post better pics soon and after the shows I will post those pics too.

Have a good weekend!

Cute lil Hairclips And A Sneak Peak!

 Hi!  I have finally got my pictures together to post these adorable little hairclips.  My daughter came up with the idea after seeing my candy corn.  So we decided to make them for my craft shows and she came up with the awesome name of "Itsy Bitsys"   You can clip them in your hair, on a hairband or even onto your shirt, or bookbag.  The possibilities are endless!   I will have them posted on my side bar for sale soon. 

 

This is a picture of a work in progress!  I needed to make more scarecrows for my fall show.  I found this pattern by Old Road Primitives.  He sits up on a rusty spring.  I still have to put the raffia hair on all of them.  That seems to take a bit of time.  I just finished sewing the hats together today.  I'm hoping to finish him up early this week so I can move on to my next project.  I will be posting more pics of my inventory for the shows.  Lots of new items this year!! 

Have a great week, and thanks for visiting!

Candy Corn Ornies

Hello!  I've been working on some new items and some old favorites for the shows.  I made these ornies from an old pattern by Patty's Ratty's.  I've made a few of them for the shows.  I am also working on a new idea with my daughter.  She is 12 and loves to craft too.  Her and her friends love the flowers that clip in your hair or on a head band, so we came up with the cutest idea that I think the girls will love!  I will post pics and list them for sale soon.
Have a great weekend!

New Turkey E-Pattern

Hi, I just posted a new pattern today.  This isn't a fabric one but it is a painting pattern.  I used plywood for mine so it wouldn't be too heavy for my door, but you can use whatever thickness you like.  I hope you have fun making him.  You can buy him from my website, or Pattern Cupboard or I have him listed on the sidebar of my blog.
Have a great week!!

A slight delay...

Hi everyone, I had been working right along on inventory for my fall shows and ideas for patterns.  I had a slight delay though.  I woke up the Friday before the July 4th holiday with my back hurting a bit.  It got a lot worse and long story short I had surgery for a herniated disc a week later!  I have been doing my walking like the Dr's told me to do and just taking it easy.  I think I am just about ready to jump back into doing some crafts.  I wanted to post a pic of what I was working on before all this happened.  It's a pattern by Limited Lane and I changed her just a bit, but fell in love with her!  I need to do lots more for the shows.  

I will be adding more patterns, etc as soon as I am up and about! 
Have a good weekend!
