Plaquemine Car Show

So I know that this was several weeks ago...but (as my motto goes) better late than never!
The craft fair was actually a success. I spent no money to enter, hardly any money on things made, but walked away with about $65, which isnt bad at all! Especially considering my stuff is rather on the cheap side (most expensive thing is $10). Also it didnt seem to make a dent on my stock (this happens every time I enter, nothing really seems to be gone!).
(paused just then to video Ness standing at the gate with pokey watching the chickens..shew!)
So now I have lots my train of thought..lets see....oh yeah, craft fair! We have a "handmade" garage sale on May 8th (its also the same date as my sisters baby shower but hopefully she forgives me when she sees her gift). We have 4 "vendors" so far. Not bad! We hope for a decent turn out. We had wanted more vendors but people arent into that. Oh well! 4 is good enough!
I have changed my set up and I think that it looks much better now. I will do some tweaks but the main change is the bow set up. I like the new way much better. I have some pictures for you at home.
Our pictures wouldnt be complete without a few chubby naked babies! Thats the way Hannah and I roll!
Anyways, come out for out 'garage' sale! Off of Drusilla on Wesson St.

Expanding...

I had my second craft fair this weekend...it was fun. Ness did a really good job with his naps and stuff. My dear husband Michael made sure of that by setting his bed up in a dark bathroom...but whatever works right?! I made around $70, but when you subtract the money spent to get there and the entry fee I made all of about $20..but not bad right? I have another fair this weekend (one with no entry fee and no far drive!) and I hope to rid myself of more bows. I have way to many. I must have at least 100. And then I have the headbands and bow holders and all that jazz. I am thinking up some nice "deals" to get rid of them. Like, buy three bows get one free, buy a bow holder get a bow free, buy a headband get any bow for $3, that sort of thing. People like deals! (I know I do).

But I am branching/getting away from the bow idea. I dont think I will make any more bows for a while. I have supplies if I get an order or something but I went through my ribbon and cut it and heat sealed it so that it can be tied on a ponytail (we had some requests for some last weekend) and I will sell it like that. So we will go with that for a while. I also have a new job that I am SOOO excited about! The lady that I iron for is also going to let me make some pillows (9) for her! And she said they go for like $20 to $40 a piece! Amazing right? I made one and I have a picture I will put up on here.
My child is crying...I had better tend to him. Enjoy my new stuff. I am still crazy about the bibs and shoes, I am so in love with sewing now! And I still need to make a few more for gifts...so hobby lobby today for me and my boy!
Enjoy the pictures!
