Crafting and Business

This has been such a learning process. I am here at the house taking care of mom and trying to figure out the best way to market. Craft Fairs when I can. The trouble with that they seem to cost more than I make. Well, I can say I have been given a lot of great tips through all the net working at the craft fairs. the people are wonderful. It's all learning, so for the money, the net working is worth it.

Pony Tail Tee Pockets

Spent so long trying to figure this one out. After about 11 attempts, I finally figured out what was needed to  be able to single handily tuck my pony tail inside.

Scrap Paper Easter Baskets

These Little baskets were made with left over 12" by 1" strips of paper from all the Christmas scrap books that I made. I weaved Three strips down the middle and then folded over the sides and weaved them inside if each other. I added and glued another strip to the top for a handle. They are Easter gifts to my fellow teachers at work.

Quilled Easter Eggs

 This was alot of fun. I painted the eggs and then quilled the flowers over the top. The black eggs were decorated with colored twisted wire. Each of the eggs still open for filling with your favorite baked goodies.

The Art of Quiling

"Quiling" I realize now that there are a lot of you out there who quill. But I only discovered it about 2 months ago. I have to share, this is an art that is fascinating to me. An art with no boundaries. You can use it and play with affects to your wildest imagination. I am so fascinated with all the craft and effects that others have created. It's easy and fun. If this is an art you have never tried DO IT!. I think you will love it too!

These little skirts are made from tees, the flowers quilled and hand stitched on. Real cute over skirts and bathing suits.  They are also real sweet over leggings for the little dancers.
