Just about sold out!

Woo hoo!  After the market and bringing my leftovers to work, I'm just about sold out now!  I have two tutu totes left to sell and for some reason its the giraffe ones - a Large and a Small.  I would have thought those would have sold first.  One lady almost bought one at the market but she put it down and decided on the pink zebra instead.  But I have those totes and 10 flat iron holders left with interest from others that have stopped by here at work asking about them.  So excited!  Now on to making some Christmas presents for my family and getting ready for Thanksgiving just next week!  Wow!  I did hear on the radio this is as early as Thanksgiving can be but to look on the brighter side - we get more shopping days for Christmas.  LOL. 

River Market

Its Monday and this past Saturday we had our booth at the DownTown River Market.  Overall I think it went pretty good especially our first time to really have a booth.  We learned some things I think for our next time around for sure.  We could have done better but we could have done worse too.  We had wreaths, party decorations, paintings, tutu bags, and flat iron holders.  Below are a couple of photos from our event.

Its a Giraffe!!

A couple of coworkers have started a little small business called TiddlyWinks!  Bridgit makes wreaths for all occasions and Donna creates party events and supplies.  Two very creative ladies!  They have asked me to be a part of a upcoming market that we have new to our town called the DownTown River Market.  A very nice place the city has created for our town!  So Im going to try making my tutu totes and flat iron holders for the event.  Im very excited and super nervous.  I pray things sell for all of us!  Here is a tutu tote I made last night.

Been working on a few odd and end things

Just finished up with Halloween last night.  I've been here and there on the sewing machine and having fun.  Been making some new and different things too!  I like to always try new things and challenge myself as you may notice reading my blog and the different things I have attempted.  My friend Bridgit recently asked me to make something for a wreath she was making for Halloween as she needed some witch legs.  So after finding ideas on the internet, I got them all made up!  Here below is a picture of a Hallloween sock that I have cut off the toes.  You can notice the heel of the sock is now the knee of the witch leg. 

Here below we were playing around at work.  Thats just a black table cloth we had here at work and we pretended it was the witches skirt and my cube fell on her.  LOL.  I love the ladies I work with.

Bridgit made the wreath and it looked so great too with those witch legs hanging down from it and she sold it really quick too!  I'll have to get a picture of it though for my blog from her. 

I have also been making pot holder flat iron cases for friends and sold some too!  They are loving these things and super easy to make.  I have to mention I love sewing things together that come together very quickly too and usable!  You can use these for your flat iron OR you can also use them for your curling iron BUT you can't sew all the way up the side for the curling irons because they do have that trigger handle so you have to stop a little above mid point on sewing those to leave room for that.  They work great and safe and heat resistant because they are actually pot holders that are folded in half and then sewn.  Such a cute idea whoever come up with the idea.  I found several people who have done this on the internet so not sure who to give the credit to for the idea but they are genious!
