GHS Craft Fair 3/7/09

My friend Sylvia of Luxe Living and I were vendors at Garland High School's 11th Annual Craft Fair yesterday. It was great to see my former students and many of their parents and I really enjoyed hanging out with Sylvia. However, out of the 4 craft fairs I have done so far, this was the least profitable. I don't know if it is the economy or if we were simply too cool for school... Sylvia's booth look great, this was her first time out. My booth is getting better I think, I still have a ways to go. Our husband's stopped by with my daughter and she had a good time sitting at my table.

New Stuff on Etsy

Sublime Stitching Embroidery

I love embroidery. My husband is actually going to help me come up with some of my own designs, I am not the best at drawing, but here are some things I did with sublime stitching patterns:

BLOG FEATURE: Erika Pelletier

Erika is a member of my new group: Oak Cliff Craft Collective. She does not currently have an etsy shop but it will come soon.

This is a little about her:

I will have been married 14 years this year and have two wonderful boys - one of which reminds me of me as a child since he loves to create all kinds of things! Oh and I am the one on the right in the picture, the other lovely woman is my grandmother, whom I adore and has always been proud to wear anything I make for her!

I have been making things all my life (and probably drove my mother crazy with it) but only in the last 5 years have I really started to make things that I thought people other than my mom would like!

I love to crochet just about anything - it is so relaxing and doesn't require me to have to really think and concentrate, which is a nice break from my everyday life.

My hope is to get an etsy shop going sometime soon but for now my hope is to just start selling some of my items to people outside of my close friends and family.
