New Items

Well unfortunately I did not get to participate in the Homespun Craft Show. My grandma passed away last week, and I had to pull out of the show. I'm hoping to find one more to enter before Christmas. Here's some of the new items I've been working on.

Children's activity bags- fits a coloring book ( and other things) inside and crayons in the individual slots on the front of the bag. $10 each

                                             Women's aprons (from a men's work shirt!) $12 each

GCA Homespun Craft Show!!

I just got confirmation that I'm entered in the Genoa Christian Academy Homespun Craft Show! It's next weekend!!  Sat. Oct. 22, 2011 at 7562 Lewis Center Rd. Westerville, OH. I haven't done this show before, so I can't really tell you much more, other than COME!! You can find some great, unique homemade crafts for you, and gifts for others. Christmas is right around the corner;) Well, seeing how Oct 22 is creeping up closer and closer- I gotta go and get crafty! Any ideas of new things I come be making maybe for next show? I'm anxiously awaiting a Silhouette SD machine at my door any day now! An early birthday present from my sweet husband:) There's a lot of new possibilities with that as well.

Tutorials I've found along the way

I wanted to put a couple great new FREE tutorials that I have found via Pinterest! Hope that they help you out and inspire you to be crafty in this lovely, crisp fall weather. You know, Christmas is right around the corner. Home made gifts are great to give to show some extra thought, as well as a less expensive route when you have a long list of gifts to buy...  Enjoy!
