Craft Sale

Hey guys! I can't believe it has been over a month since my last visit here. I have had a busy time at work lately with my annual conferences and family time has kept me occupied as well. Last month was the Lucie's Place craft event where I sold some of my items.


My good buddy saved up copy paper boxes for a long time to help me make my setup. I put duct tape around all of the edges to add stability. I ended up covering each shelf with moss that I had from moss table runners from my wedding. While it added a nice effect, all of my items had moss clinging to them. ;) Overall, I was pretty happy with how everything turned out. I did the best that I could. I was proud of all of my items and felt like I prepared the best that I could. If I ever did this sort of thing again, I'd be sure to bring something to work on as it gets boring and I get nervous when people are shopping at my booth.

Yarning!

Hey hey! I'm really bad about remembering this place. I'm really cramming for my big craft fair. Just a few more weeks! I've mostly been on a knit/crochet kick lately. I made a couple of aprons for the craft fair. I learned to granny square and I really just want to granny square everything. It's my answer to all of life's problems. Put a granny square on it. I've also made a few of these cute grocery bags. Is there anything sweeter than a cotton knit bag full of produce? I think that's all I've got for today. I promise to check in soon with craft updates. Have a good week.

Mitzvah Planning

Hello friends. I've been a busy bee lately. Along with preparing for my craft fair, I'm planning a Bat Mitzvah for a friend wayyyy across the country. I've never done anything like this before but it's so much fun and I know Elaina will be over the moon. :))

Table Layouts: We decided to not use the table runners. It is going to be a luncheon and we want it to be simple and clean. Each place setting will have a paper utensil bag and a pinwheel.

Candle Lighting: I've never seen this done but the kids are doing a candle ceremony where special people light candles from different aspects of their lives. I made this box with a cardboard box wrapped in satin and dollar store candle holders. The end opens up to store the candles and holders for transport.
