Craft Show Preview

Hi all,

Well I'm nearly done with my crafts for this month's show which is October 26, 27 & 28th. Friday's show is long from 10am to 9pm which means I will need an cooler to keep my snacks in. Hubby can't make this show so I hope I'm near someone who doesn't mind us taking turns to use the bathroom during down time (if any). :-)

Here is my 4 totes filled with finished crafts:

With only an 8 x10 space I thought I would do a dry run of my display set up so I created my own display in my living room. This way I can decide what I need more of and also see if my finished products need something extra: My display before adding crafts:

Here is my display with my crafts added to them...remember there are a few unfinished crafts that I'm still working on but this gave me an idea of what I needed to do:

Getting Ready for a Show

Hi, It's a rainy Saturday and I'm busy in my sewing room preparing for my first show of the year in Richmond, Va. Boy am I nervous and I know I shouldn't be but everytime I prepare for a show I get that butterfly feeling in my stomach. It will past like usual and maybe it's my way of keeping me focus and on track...who knows. :-)

The room still looks a mess but I organized it enough so I can work and not bump into everything. I have cut out 13 patterns that I've been wanting to try. Here is my pile:

Here is my other dolls which are either missing hair or some final added piece to complete them. I also have another section of misc dolls with bodies, heads, and clothes; which still need to be put together.

On top of it all I have a brand new pattern which I still have to finish but here is what she looks like so far. She doesn't have a name yet but it will come to me. Ok, I'm off to finish up all of these projects. :-)

Santa Make-Do

Hi all,

I'm in the holiday spirit and thought I would add my santa to the blog. I can't believe the holidays are so close. Where does the time go? I still need to shop for gifts but I might just make gifts for the family. It will save on money and also the craziness of the malls.

Our Cottage House

Hi all,
I'm sure you all have heard me mention us moving into a smaller place. Well I finally got pictures to show you. Here is what I call our cottage home.

What I love most about the house is the yard!!

So I decided to tackle the yard by raking the leaves.....big mistake. It will take me 2 days to do this. I even tried using hubby's leave blower. That thing is a pain in the butt and it was faster with me doing it by hand. Here is what I did today~

Here is what I have left to do. Maybe I might leave the rest to hubby! :-)
I'm exhausted and now I have to finish the laundry and cook dinner. Calgone....Take me away!
