fabric
*Swoon* it happens, drop into the fabric part of a store and start falling in love with fabrics. . . a bit of this, a bit of that . . . the cart gets full and the husband's face gets . . . . . . . .well, you all know the LOOK. I got just a scant 1/2 yard of each fabric for a pendant banner to hang on my booth and maybe brighten a corner of my home at other times. . .

fall & holloween
I'm making some more guinea pigs. . . they still need their feet and I'm thinking of adding longer hair on the sorrel one. And the 2 pumpkins need leaves and pin backs and the flag need pin back
Has anyone had much luck with heavy duty magnets instead of traditional pinbacks?
Update: The magnet backs are working well and selling even better!
Here is a comment from a happy pumpkin owner: Wonderful, wonderful. Already got a compliment my first time wearing it!! Great transaction and seller. Thanks.

craft show - Middleville left table top
Ready doing her normal for a craft show. . . laying around until someone interesting wants to pet her. I'm wondering if I should have put up atleast one side curtain to create a blank wall behind the hanging purses. . . well considering that this is my first stand alone (not farmer's market table) booth, I'm pretty happy.
Husband's dog agility jump on the left side of the booth and daughter's barbed wire wreath hanging on the tent post on the right. . . didn't have either of the little boys along, so I didn't have to design room for their sculpty clay creations.

FSAM Sept. 7
My youngest son made the trip to FSAM with me (boys fighting to go to Craft Shows to sell with MOM, don't you LOVE it!!) and sold one of his Pokemon type sculpty creatures!!!! He was so excited and then played the harmonica with the local guitarist, he had the harmonica less than 24 hours and was playing for Money (he made all of a $1 tip). How exciting for a young boy!!!
Watching the children stretch and grow is so rewarding. . .

Artists for Animals at FSAM booth
My middle son and I are featured in this picture from FSAM blog. Aprons, purses, barbed wire art, needle felt jewelry, and needle felt sculpture. My son is working on his Twisted View Sculpty Shop items, which was next to me and I set up a Am. Pit Bull Informational Booth on the other side of that.
We have even been thanked by people for having Ready attend these event with us and giving the APBT breed some much needed positive exposure. Not that having her along is a hardship, she is very well trained and a joy to show off.LOL, she is better than candy for drawing people's interest, whither they like dogs or the breed or not.

recycled owl on apron
Craft Fair Apron made out of my fav fabrics (canvas type) and accessorized for my Needle Felting and sewing needs. Large recycled felt owl holds my seam ripper & small gold scissors and a pocket in just the right spot for small pieces of roving while I'm poking a project.
Just above the owl is a small pocket perfect for my phone or book on tape / Ipod that even I can't spill water on and the lower pocket is perfect for craft fair needs or dog treats. . . LOL

best second day photo
My second attempt at a Craft/Art Sale booth Ever!!!! I'm much happier than from my first try the week before.
The metal framework & tables are permanent and I borrowed the tent.
The sign is a gift from my husband and the artwork is a original from a picture of my Daughter's Ready that I use for my flyer.
My 2 boys have a small piece of table just to the picture's right with sculpty clay sculpture and then I put up a Pit Bull Information Booth on the end of that.

Guinea Pigs
Needle felt Guinea Pigs' make their first run to an art show and loved it. High pitched squeals & stamping feet are their way of showing excitement, luckily the needle felt one are bred to be quiet. Drama is wearing a taco as his holloween costume. If you get the joke please let me know. . . it has flopped with most people so far.
Both these lovelies sold in 3 hours of listing them on Etsy to a lovely guinea pig collector in France!!! I listed them with full permission of my 2 youngest kids. Thank you very much! LOL. . .
