ornaments & scotus show

 christmas is right around the corner.  in fact i brought a real tree home last night to put up on thursday since i am holiday function free til supper.  if you are a loyal reader or know me, you know that i make ornaments for my siblings, nephews, nieces, and kids each year.  sometimes i have extras. these are recent years that i have extras of.  i'll have them at my next two shows.  the glass ball has let it snow on velum (i also have on transparency paper, but that didnt photograph very well) with snow flakes on the outside for $3.  santa lets you know how many days are left with the extra numbers n his bag for $6.

 some kids need to be extra good this time of year to make up for all the fun things they have done over the course of the year, this post card (customizable on the reverse with santas address & childs) lets them explain, $3.

i also wanted to let everyone know about my next show coming up this sunday.  i have finally made it into the scotus craft show on december 1 at scotus high school 1554 18th ave, columbus, ne from 9 am til 4 pm.  
serendipity cloths will also be there with me.  she

has lots of cute christmas/holiday skirts for your little girl.

busy, busy

wow, thanks to everyone who stopped out at the millard west show.  nicole everingham was the winner of the $25 gift certificate.  after such a great show i was kinda worried about having time & fabric to restock my supply for my show this weekend.  but lucky for me i had some at home and had time for a quick trip to hobby lobby after the show in omaha (bit better selection than norfolk's) but that also meant that i had to work my butt off to get lots of sewing done.  happy to say that i got everything done that i wanted to, including a custom order for a car seat cover. 

this is a pic of the boy fish that i had to make (i was out & had requests for some) so if you wanted these, please email or fb me & i'll get some shipped out to you.

oh i did say that i had a show this weekend right???  its my 1st time in kearney, ne at the holiday splendor craft/trade show.  runs from 9 am til 4 pm at the buffalo county fairgrounds 3807 ave n, kearney, ne.  hope to see everyone out there!  

infinity nursing scarves & next show

i know lots of people are in to scarves.  i am not.  for some reason i dont like stuff up around my neck. but my sister in law pointed these out to me and i thought they would be a good addition to my stock.  infinity nursing scarves.  they are the same as regular, just a bit wider & longer, to accomadate the bulk & length of baby.  best part is, i can make a regular scarf and a nursing one out of the same fabric!  contact me if this is something you would like.  nursing scarves are $20 and the regular scarves are $15.
also wanted to let everyone know about my next show coming up.  millard west again!!! one of my favorites.  this year it is later than normal, not sure why but they had to change the date.  so stop out on november 2 from 9 am til 4 pm to check out the hall and 2 gyms full of crafters!  and just incase you need to be reminded of the address it on 176th & q in omaha.  i'm going to do a gift certificate drawing for all those who stop by & register.
also check back as i'll be doing some posts of projects i did this summer.  just to catch up.

love/hate skirt

i love it cause it's fun & easy to wear, but man was it a pain in the butt to sew!  now i remember why i dont like working with stripes. but it done so i say bring on summer!!!  now to work on some cute skirts for the girls. 

thanks to all who stopped out at the huphrey show a few weeks ago. it was nice to see so many friends & be close to home.  next show will be in newman grove during shell creek valley days.  after that it's camping til fall shows start!

scraps & next show

so i am kind of a horder when it comes to cool fabric that i have used in the past. i dont like to part with it. so...i keep it. i really love it when i get to use those scraps for something cool. these are scraps that from all the flannel blankets that i make. a friend is having a benefit for her dad & asked me to donate. gave me a good reason to use up scraps & it was fun. cant wait to use up more for aonther baby quilt like this.

next show-saturday april 6 millard west (176th & q) from 9-4. i have been sewing like crazy so i have a great selection. my mother in law will also be there with her sewing-serindipity clothes (http://www.etsy.com/shop/SerendipityClothes). we'll be in wild cat 1 (1st gym) but please remember there are 2 gyms-there are lots of great crafters there. hope to see everyone there.

i cant wait to use it at my next show to hang up bibs.  yes next show is in less than a month.  i'll get you more detail later.  gotta get working so i have lots to take with me

flannel works in progress

i have been busy in the basement getting ready for all the craft shows i will be at this fall.  actually i need to be busier, but it's still nice outside & have lots of yard work to do.  the top pic is flannel i am done sewing into blankets & burp cloths, the bottom is the 2nd half of fabric that i am working on right now.  after that i'll move on to cotton for bibs, changing pockets, nursing covers then ribbon for paci clips.  oh and i suppose i should think about christmas sometime too.  i'll try to keep you updated on what i get finished. and let you know about my craft show schedule.
