It is craft fair day once again! 

Twas the night before the craft fair and all through my house

My craft fair weekend...

Twas the night before the craft fair  and all through my house

Today marks my 5th craft fair at our local library. 

I've been working on more snow globe style snowmen for an upcoming craft fair. 

I had the day off with my car in the shop so I used this day to work on projects for my next craft fair.
You had to see my kitchen... sewing machine out, paint, tables, trunks, transfers, totes... you name it, I was working on it. It looked a little like Santa's workshop.
I thought I had more time but just realized that the craft fair I signed up for was taking place in 2 weeks...Yikes!

Today I'm using scrap pieces of grain sack fabric from repurposed napkins for the front of the pillows and striped ticking fabric on the back.

Using a product called Transfer Artist PaperI printed out a bee and wreath image from the Graphics Fair.


I added a cute little rusty bellto the center of the wreath.
Another pillow I made is the same as the bee/wreath

After stock piling my handmade items for a few years now, the time had come for my first craft fair.
I was super excited... until I saw my space!

Every year I make a new Christmas ornament using Scrabble tiles. 

This fun vintage angel is a cinch to make!

Remember when I promised you'd see this lamp again?

There are many crafts on the go for kids out there... but what about Mom? 

It all began with a trip to Michael's Craft Store...

I began work on a display for the Christmas craft fair I'm doing this month...

Who couldn't use a quick and easy DIY hostess gift  for the holidays?

These mini pumpkins are just the cutest little things!

Today our library held a community craft fair/yard sale.

Getting ready for Christmas always makes me want to create an advent calendar so we can count down to the special day. This year I'm repurposing an old project to create the perfect advent calendar for the Christmas season. 

I love making Christmas ornaments, especially repurposed ornaments created from something that end up in the thrift store like these vintage Scrabble pieces. 

When you find it... grab it!
