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!
