Tis The Season

As the Christmas season approaches, I am constantly seeing ads for craft sale and the like, but not once did I see an ad for table space at one of these events. So I did some calling and most people informed me that most vendors are from a previous year and they get first dibs, and there is only so much space, yada yada yada. Seriously, isn't more variety better? So after numerous phone calls I managed to secure myself a table at a small church/school close by. After starting to stockpile my wares (although my husband said I had more than enough) I received a call saying the craft show was going to be cancelled as there wasn't enough interest to make it worthwhile. WHAT?!? I thought about having an open house where everyone could come by and take a look, but that would me we'd really have to step up our housekeeping duties. We've really let it go when we brought out all our Christmas boxes. I figured once all the boxes were away it would be easier to clean, but do those boxes ever really go away??? Fortunately my mother-in-law offered up her house which was fabulous, and I didn't have to clean ;) It wasn't a huge success, as my pillowcases which I think are fabulous, hardly sold, but nonetheless it was successfull in that I have less stock and can now start cleaning out my basement and organizing a little bit more. Here are some pictures of some of the things I was selling if your interested. I guess everyone is getting pillowcases for Christmas, and birthdays, and anniversaries... :)

Happy Crafting

Too Many Ideas...

Hey Everyone, and by everyone I mean me :) I've come to the point in my craftiness that I have too many projects on the go. I always seem to find the time to get things started, and when it's crunch time I always seem to pull through, but when I just want to see how an idea works or how it goes together, I never seem to finish. That is my goal for this week. Finish up all the loose ends. My MIL has been nice enough to let me use her house for an open house for all my wares and I'm never going to have enough stuff if I don't get moving. Imagine how clean my craft room will be. Oh the possibilites of how to fill it up again :)
