Craft Fair #3 Review & Craft Fair #4!

Image
By
Hello!  Our third craft fair was at the Rubberstamp Expo again and I think I like this venue better than the 99 Ranch fair.  Mostly I guess because there is light!  It's kind of important that people can actually see what they are buying!  I will be signing up for the November 15th Rubberstamp Expo as well.  Not sure if that will be my last fair for this year or if I should go into December.  I think my hubby is getting burnt out!  He misses his Sunday naps. 

It is nice talking with everyone and seeing familiar faces.  It's nice to talk about stamping and crafting with others who share that same interest.  People ask me about my coloring and all I can say is "practice!"  If you look at my early cards, they didn't look how they do now.  I think my style has changed and evolved.  Less papers and more about the image than the background. 

These are a couple of cards I was trying to complete for last week's fair but ran out of time.  Isn't that the story of life?  Never enough time to do everything.  I am trying to finish up 4 more cards and also make 24 tags.  Haha, that makes me laugh as I type this.  Wow, 24 tags?  Geez.  And they are shaker tags too!  What am I thinking?  But I think I can do it!  Positive thinking!

I will be at our 4th craft fair this Sunday, October 25th at the Hawaii Kai Retirement Center from 11 am to 3 pm.  I have never been to this fair so I'm not sure what to expect.  I'm not even sure exactly where this is.  I'll have to check it out before that day so I know where we're going.

I hope if you live around Hawaii Kai, you'll come out and visit me!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

That is so cute about your hubby getting burnt out! Hint maybe you need to bring him a folding lounge chair so he can take his quick naps when it's not so busy at the fairs..LOL! You're talented so I know you can finish all those last minute projects on time....

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

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...
