my first craft fair!

Hello! I haven't posted since the first of July! Mostly I've been getting ready for my first craft fair. It's the Craft, Gift and Rubber Stamp Expo at the Blaisdell Center Hawaii Suite on Sunday, July 26th from 9 am to 3 pm. Free admission too so if you're in the area, stop by and say hello! It's never too early to shop for Xmas, is it? Plus I'll have my used stamps and dies for sale as well so lots of good deals.

Here are some photos of some of the items I'll have at the fair.

Sterling silver earrings.

Sterling silver necklaces. I've sort of given them names or titles, I suppose.

Sterling silver bracelets.

Some sewing stuff like these quilted potholders. I was really ambitious at first and thought I could make like 25! But I stopped at 10. Those are some muslin bags and I used some heat bond to adhere the word joy (Lawn Fawn die). Dies cut fabric!

Here are a ton of magnetic clothespins and yes, they are priced at a $1 per package which is like super cheap in my opinion. Hubby's idea but I think I better stick to my own ideas about pricing or everything is gonna end up being a dollar.

I'll also have some crafty supplies like these clothespins. I have them in white, pink, silver & gold and each package of ten is only $1. I have some other items I'll share later.

Also brought in these super cute gold plated copper earrings. More like fashion jewelry but I love that they are small and cute. I just finished putting all of these together tonight with the help of my daughter. She actually packed up a lot of the items to sell so she is a big help. My youngest one actually counted out all the clothespins too. Had to double check his counting!

I'll also have some handstamped metal key chains and bookmarks and lots of handmade cards, of course. Hopefully, everything will fit on one table.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
