Holiday Craft Fair

I signed up to participate in a holiday craft fair in two weeks. I think I must be crazy! As if I wasn’t stretched already. But I’m enjoying preparing for it. All the prairie dresses are done so I have these next two weeks to sew up a bunch of things to sell at the craft fair. I’m so happy with what I’ve done so far! I can’t tell you what I’m making because these items are also my Christmas gifts for the ladies in my family. All I can say is, they’re awesome! That’s what I think anyway.

The girls and I may work on some other things to add, too. We saw an idea this weekend in a craft book. You take old mugs or tea cups, fill them with batting, and top them off with pretty fabric and trim, and insert a couple beaded pins — a lovely and lucious pin cusion! We’ll look for items to make these when thrifting this week. Hopefully we’ll find good things and be able to put this idea in motion.

My new KitchenAid mixer is up for sale on ebay. I pray the Lord sells it. I’m participating in the craft fair, too, so between these two things, I hope to earn enough to buy the Bosch mixer and some accessories. Pray for my money-making efforts, please! God will provide what He thinks is best, so I’m just working and waiting, working and waiting…
