Recap and Upcoming

Hi!

Saturday we had so much fun!  It was a different experience going to a “mixed” craft fair.  We were one of few completely handmade booths; there were a lot of booths were people were sales reps for bigger products, like Tupperware and those “it works” wraps…which we all know don’t work.  We did pretty well, and we’re looking forward to participating again next year.

We also have an upcoming fair that’s in our little town!!!  On Halloween we’re going to be at the Pleasant View Tent Sale at 1550 Dowlen Street Pleasant View, TN 37146.  There will be kid friendly activities, pumpkins to paint, lots of vendors!  And candy!!  It’s sure to be a really fun event.  If you’d like to find more info, here is a link to the event’s Facebook page.

So recently we’ve been working on a number of items to add to our shop, and really trying to crank them out.  Mel’s been working on turning some antique quilts into pillows and hoop art, and I’ve been working on coloring book portfolios.  We’re both just working away diligently, and we’ll try to work on other items once we feel like maybe we’ve got enough.  We both feel like you can’t have enough though!

I also have some other projects to work on, I’ve got my Michael Miller challenge, which I may work on at the Guild meeting tomorrow.  I’ve got a quilt top that I plan on giving as a Christmas gift, so I should probably get that quilted, and I’ve decided to make another quilt for a Christmas gift, so yea…there’s that. O_O  Oh and I’ve signed up to be a part of our guild’s Secret Santa swap!  Because I need more to sew.

I won’t be able to post the Christmas gift quilts until they’re gone to their homes (OBVIOUSLY, HELLO!!! SPOILER ALERTS!)  But I’ll get them posted with their little stories as soon as I can.

So what have you been up to out there?  Sewing away?  Crafting it up?  Us too. 🙂

Until next time, happy sewing!

Saturday

This Saturday is a new craft fair!  Already?  Yes!

I’m feeling a little thrown into hyperdrive to make as much as possible before Saturday, but that’s alright!  It’s fun sewing with a reason.  We’ll have lots of items at our table; purses, rice eye masks, and coloring book portfolios just to name a few!

The craft fair we’ll be at this Saturday is the 3rd Annual Fall Market for Books from Birth in Murfreesboro, TN.  It is bound to be a successful event, lots of vendors and all for a good cause!

“Shop at the annual fundraiser for Rutherford County Books from Birth. Admission is free & open to the public, but a donation to the Books from Birth booth at the entrance is appreciated. The first 50 people through the door will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Nurture Nook Day Spa! We will be in the Oakleigh Ballroom at the hotel! Sponsored by Powell Fence Company & Shabby Lane”
