Teacher gifts=DONE!!

Order for 5 Korkers

Im not that great at making these, but my neighbor asked me to make her 5.

Another order completed

Custom Tutu Order : Complete

While sitting at my booth at the craft fair on Friday, a lady came over to look at my tutus. She said she wanted one, but wasnt sure if the ones I had were the right size for her daughter so she asked if I would make one. She wanted hot pink, black and white. I got it completed tonight and will hopefully get it delivered tomorrow. The only thing I dont like about it is that the pink is sooo prominent, but thats just how it is since its much brighter than the black and white. I hope she likes it!

*Update: She LOVED it!*

Designs

Some people wanted me to post pictures of my card designs, right now all I have is Christmas designs, ill be adding other stuff later. I am more of a "cartoon-y" type artist. I drew everyone of these with my own hands and no one has the right to copy them or use them without my permission...right click is disabled here.

Craft Fair Review

Our 2nd craft fair this year wasnt too terribly bad. Seems like sales are down for the fairs, but atleast we didnt go into the hole this year like we did last year. Although, if you count the $ that was put into the things that I made, we might have! But, it doesnt matter that I didnt sell alot of stuff because I can use it myself, as well as some of my family, or I can give it as gifts. I sold my Happy Holidays sign, and 2 more Christmas ones that I didnt get pix of =( I sold some cards, got a bow holder order and a tutu order. One lady *might* want me to make up about 20 cards that will be birth announcements for her grandbaby, she's going to get back with me when they find out the sex of the baby.

My grandma sold 3 pecan pies the first day, along with alot of candy. The 2nd day she made 2 more pies and sold them by the piece and she sold quite a bit of them. She makes AWESOME pies! We all think that she should start offering to do pie baking around Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter time, but she's not sure yet.

We met alot of interesting people during the last couple days. So far, this craft fair had the friendliest people of the 3 we've done. Its always nice to be able to talk with the folks you are sitting by, and other people as well.

I feel as though im near finding out exactly what im suppose to do in life. I would have thought that by 28, I would know, but I dont. I feel as though my talents were God-given, but im still searching for His purpose. Hopefully something will come about before long that confirm that im on the right path.

Im highly interested in consigning with local boutiques, but ive been reading that alot of times their commission is near 40%! That wouldnt give me much profit at all with the prices i have on things now, so i'd have to raise prices (which Ive been encouraged to do so anyway). That might not even be something that I'd ever do, but its a thought....

Ill be posting pictures of card designs and such later this evening for those people at the craft fair that asked to see some of my things.

Completed projects

Another hairbow holder order

3/3 orders=COMPLETE

I got the last 2 hairbow holders done that completed my order of 5! Im happy to have them done! I took pix, but like usual the lighting wasnt good and I was in a hurry because I was on my way out the door to deliver them.

Something to laugh at

This was my first attempt in making yard decorations. Actually it was just a practice run, so its no big deal that my ghost looks ridiculous, and my candy corn looks like a hershey kiss--according to my husband. I dont have stakes put on them yet.

Gus had to get his nose in the picture =)

Letters

Ive covered a T and an N with paper and painted the sides black. They can stand alone, although the T is a little top heavy...or they could hang on the wall with the pre-made holes in the back for hanging, or ribbon could be added to them for hanging, or even to make it a bow holder =)

Another Bow Holder order, and Happy Holidays!

My husband took these pictures and the lighting wasnt good at all so they look much much lighter than they actually are.

I am liking this Happy Holidays sign so much that I might not even sell it!

Or, if I do, ill definately be making me one!

Bow Holders

These arent very good pictures, but they work. These were the first 2 orders that I completed. The J was one order, and the 2 M's and the A was another order. More to come!
