    After my endless talk about creating a craft sale inventory, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you about the event last Saturday. craft sale 2014It started out really slow…I was genuinely getting worried….but then it picked up. I sold quite a bit and got such wonderful comments. Little J helped me for the first couple hours and then left with my in-laws.

    One more sale on Thursday! I’m really excited for this one. Last year was great, so I’m hopeful that with much better weather this year (no blizzard) it will be even more successful.

    I’m off to vote, errands and knitting…for the first time in ages for the knitting. Hope I remember how. 😉

    T Tuesday: sale preview edition

    October 28, 2014 - By 

    Happy Tuesday!! Thanks for joining me for another edition of T stands for Tuesday.

    T stands for Tuesday_200

    Yesterday I set up my craft sale table to get a handle on what fits and how it should look. I  thought I’d share my wares with you.20141027_7216

    This candle will likely look familiar to some as I have used it as my T Tuesday “beverage” in the past. I’ve decided to part with it after all….unless it doesn’t sell, of course. 🙂

    Upcycled t-shirt baby bibs are a new item for me this year. I made a few for a friend who just had a baby and everyone loved them. So I decided it was a great way to upcycle some of those outgrown t-shirts.20141027_7210 20141021_7203

    These bottle cap flowers are the 2.0 version of my original design.  Each one is unique…plus I get to use up a bunch of those beads that never seem to get used.table collage marked

    I figured I’d just share the rest in a little collage since time is of the essence. I’m heading out to walk in a bit but I’ll be back in a while to visit.

    T Tuesday: walk, talk and craft edition

    October 21, 2014 - By 

    Happy Tuesday!  Time for another edition of
    T Stands for Tuesday.T stands for Tuesday_200

    Once again I come to you a little late since I was out walking this morning.20141021_7204

    I, of course, had my favorite water bottle with me…never leave home without it. My friend and I have been making a habit of walking at least once a week so we can catch up. We used to see each other twice a week at other functions but that has changed.IMG_2500It was funny because even after walking and talking the whole time, we stood in the parking lot and chatted since we still had more to say.  20141021_7201I’ve been busy at crafting too…more inventory. Today I think I’m going to pull out my boxes and see exactly what I have ready to go. It always feels like a lot but you just don’t know what will be the “hot ticket” item each year. I’m in love with the sideways spool ornament. I may have to keep that one for myself as I used some scraps to create it. It is definitely OOAK.
