HPFWC Craft Festival

This wasn’t as successful as I planned on it being – or had hoped it would be. But it was a good learning experience and I did sell a couple of items as well as get one custom order placed! Here are a few pictures from my table…

At the festival I ended up leaving a little early and spending the day with my sister instead. I wanted to put this picture up from the tiny photo shoot we had because I just love it.

Ikea = Love

We got our Ikea 2009 catalog today… and are so excited! We are going to go shopping in Feb when the new one opens in Charlotte – until then we are going to pick out everything we want and save tons of money! I haven’t even been to one of the stores yet – but I can’t wait!

Jeremy’s Other Love

I shot a few pictures today of Jeremy and his guitar. A couple out of about 80 came out pretty decent. Let me know what you think!

I know the 2nd one is a little blurry – but I thought it might still have a little something special!

A BounceU Halloween

Bounce U had a special Halloween night… and I got to come up with some crafts and make them with the kids! We made SLIME and some cute flower pots to put a candle in decorated in all Halloweeny!

I got the slime idea from familyfun.go.com which is an awesome site for craft ideas! Click on the link and make the slime for yourself! The kids LOVED it!

Step 1: Mix glue and warm water.

Step 2: Add in food coloring and mix it all up.

Step 3: Mix borax and warm water in another bowl.

Step 4: Pour the mixture from step 3 into step 1. And BAM you have slime!

A Couple of Bank Robbers!

Not really – but thats what we dressed up as for Halloween. We both had to work – so it wasn’t like we needed to dress up super fancy – so this was an easy way to go!

Baxter had a pumpkin shirt! In the past he has been Dwight Schrute from the Office, a cowboy and a hotdog! Here are some pics from previous years!

Yes he has a wig on… we got it from Build-a-Bear workshop! Haha! And I made our little badges in Illustrator! I made Baxter’s tie and t-shirt, (from a white button up baby shirt,) as well!

We really wanted to have a Dwight bobble head – but no luck.

This is from 2007 – and we went to the 1075kzl Dogoween – and me and Jeremy were Jim & Pam! But we didn’t win because they didn’t really know what The Office was?!

This is from 2006. And by the way… this picture won a photo contest in First Magazine last year during Halloween! Yay for my tiny celebrity dog!

This is from 2006 as well – we just dressed him up just for fun – not for Halloween. He was only a couple of months old.

Priss Pot Price Tags

In preparation for the craft festival I wanted to go ahead and begin pricing my items. Instead of buying the expensive – and not so cute – price tags I saw in the store… I decided to make them on my own. I got a cute little stamp cut-out and some nice paper – with some stamps to brand them with… and WALA!

And here is one of Baxter that I just couldn’t pass up! I caught him being adorable while I was crafting!

Coiled Coasters

Here is the newest edition to the coiled baskets – a coaster! I will be selling this set at the festival!

Squares Washcloth

Last night in the midst of nothing to do… I made a new washcloth! I got the pattern: here!
