Craft Fair Items

Wow! I can't believe it's been two months since my last post. Lots going on. Anyways, signed up to do a craft fair (they call it a Craft Boutique) in December and I have been going crazy making things. Here are some pictures of the mess I have been making. They are a work in progress.

The diaper clutches in the back are done. They were the first I did. Then I started to make the fabric flowers but I am waiting on the button centers to come to me in the mail so they are not done yet. I have about 50 of those. I also have little man ties. Those are almost done. I just need to get some more Velcro. I used all of the Velcro on the clutches. The ties go from infant up to 5T. They are so cute. Loving the fabric I found. (I will have ties and flowers in Christmas fabric too)
I also have a few Buttercup purses (top left), some receiving blankets with matching burp cloths, lap blankets, burp cloths, and some crocheted hats. In the box is some infant and toddler bracelets.
Whoops. The picture is sideways. Here are some of the bracelets and a book thong (that's what they are called).
The hats I have been making. I am making them from infant up to child size. I have been having fun trying out new crochet stitches. Cool looking beanies for sure.

Here is a list of what I am making.
Diaper Clutch
Car Seat Tent
Infant & Toddler Bracelets
Book Thongs
Flower Hair Clips
Little Man Ties
Lap Blankets
Buttercup Purse
Burp Cloths
Crocheted Hats

I am also thinking about making some smaller items for stocking stuffers like pin cushions, the diaper scrunchy (you'll see), and whatever else I might think up.

I will have pictures of the fair (on Dec 4th) after it is over. I am also attending a friends wedding the same day. Thanks (ahead of time) to my mom who will be manning the table while I am gone. She is selling her Hair Towel Wraps (awesome) and her Crocheted Hot Pads which is one of my favorites. They are so thick and are awesome as a trivet too.

Crepe Paper Roses

Can I tell you that I am in love with these? I want to make a ton of them. First I have to master the crepe paper rose. Aren't they spectacular? Here are the three places I found these.
This came from Homespun With Heart. She also has a link to see a video on how to make them. Very nice to actually see someone do it.

This was from House of Smiths. She has a tutorial.
This cute wreath came from A Glimpse Inside. She also has a tutorial.
Love love love!!!

I Heart Faces - Photo Challenge - Smirk

I was taking pictures of my DD and got this picture of her. She started acting silly and giving me faces. I just love this one.

Fabric Flower

I was just playing around with this fabric and figured that it might look cute if I kept on going with it. I was SO right. It turned out really good and fluffy. I don't even need to put something in the middle because it fluffs up around it. I find it kind of distracting if there is something in there.

Enjoy!

I Heart Faces - Photo Challenge Vroom Vroom

So Old Sacramento hosted Gold Rush Days and we went down to mill around and take pictures of things. I took a picture of this and tried to make it look old fashioned. I'm still learning.
This is my entry in the Vroom Vroom Photo Challenge. I kept on debating which to use for the challenge. This one or the last picture in this post.
Here are a few other things I was messing with.
I love how rustic this picture looks. The ISO was on 1600 and it looks grainy like it was in an old picture. This was on the train that we took. The people in front of us were dressed up in period pieces. The kids were adorable.

Satin Ribbon Flowers

Some flowers I made for a friend. They turned out so cute. I love the colors she chose. I know that she will use them as a broach but they look good as an accent on purses and other things.
Here is where I got the idea! V and Co.

Yes I made the purse as well. Isn't it so cute? The inside has a darker teal fabric. I love the colors together.
