I guess I took the summer off from writing. What a fast and busy summer it was too. I am feeling very excited about sharing here all the things I discovered and learnt about this summer. I got some traveling in, some fun days with my daughter in, and also some major crafting done. Major stuff for me.
Yes, I was busy making things for the up coming Glen Ridge Artisan Show. It is on the 19th of September at Glen Ridge School here in St. Catharines. This alone is keeping me very busy as I prepare to make enough product for the show but also to make new things I think will be interesting. Some of what I am bringing with me is my pop tab bracelets and handmade paper boxes made from 1940's magazines. I have been getting a lot of feed back - all good - about them so I decided to try and sell them. I will be selling my handmade cards, paper banners, and felt hair pins too. I am working on a few other reusable crafts but my time is running out. I will bring what I have made so far and see if anyone likes them. I hope you stop by my booth if you are there and say hi.
Here are a few things I have made so far:
Paper banner for my booth
Felt hair pins
Handmade cards
Pop tab bracelet and handmade box
I tried felting old sweaters recently. I thought I could make some cool things from them. I bought 3 sweaters from the Sally Ann and washed the heck out of them several times with hot sudsy water. So far I have made some reusable bands for coffee cups with them but my hand sewing needs improvement - unless you like things looking crude. I would like to make iPod and phone holders too. More on that when I get them done. Right now they are in my head only.
I will keep my postings coming. I thank everyone for asking me to begin again. I like hearing from you.
