New This Week ~~

Sunday Morning is the morning when I look back at last week and evaluate what I accomplished and determine what direction I want to go in next week. For me, Sunday is a connector... from week to week.

My work is done in cycles ~ I first crochet / knit the item, then I put it through the felting process and then the items dry for a week.

Right now, I have a set of cool nesting bowls and 4 new bangles that have dried through out this past week. I plan to embellish the bangles today and will get some pictures taken if the sun comes out. You can see these items added to my shop throughout the coming week.

And here is what is new in my shop this past week ~ all available for purchase and truly make wonderful gifts.

Deep in the Ocean ~ Felted Bowl:



Classic Cables Knit Scarf ~ Peaches and Cream:



Teddy Bear's Picinic ~ Felted Booties:



Woodlands ~ Felted Bangle:


Overall, this past week was productive and included a good variety. I think it was one of my better weeks! Stop in and see how I measure up next week...

Getting Ready for a Holiday Craft Fair

I have purchased a spot in Saturday's Holiday Craft Bazaar at our local Methodist Church and am a bit anxious.

This one is a bit different from the others that I have been a vendor. Well, not that I have that much experience as I was only present in two this summer, so I am by no means an expert. But this one will be a table inside the church (thank goodness as we have had snow already!) rather than a booth outside.

As I said, my experience has been limited to summer fairs that have a festival theme behind them. They have been a wide mix of people, coming from all over the country for a different reason. The festival attendees just stumble upon crafters booths. Additionally, both have been in the heat of the summer and I might add that wool items are really not a popular item when one is already sweating!

Saturday's event is simply a holiday craft fair and the weather is much cooler. So I am hopeful that although there may not be as many people wandering through, the folks that do come are simply in the market to purchase crafts and wool may not turn them off as much as in the summer.


I learn something new each time I am in at a fair and I am sure that Saturday's event will also teach me something. Whether it be how to set up the table or help me in face to face marketing skills, I am sure that Saturday will prove to be a learning experience.

With the holidays just around the corner, I plan to set up the table half Thanksgiving theme and half Christmas theme. I will sneak a few of the day to day items in there too... such as baby booties and hair ponies as they make great gifts. And the rest will be left to chance.



My goal ~~ Market to the locals, sell enough to make the whopping $20 fee back and have some fun. I am confident I will be able to achieve all three. Wish me luck!

Is Your Baby a Monster?

No way~~ Nothing can turn a sweet little guy into a monster! But I named these booties "Fuzzy Green Monsters" anyway.

I tried a new brand of yarn and these cuties came out so soft and fuzzy. They will just look adorable on those cute little toes!!

This pair of monster feet is available for purchase in my etsy shop: http://valeriesgallery.etsy.com/
