Well, it has been a crazy weekend of crafting, and it’s not over yet! As you can see, my craft table is a complete mess, along with the house, I might add. I have been making samples and making larger projects for the Craft Fair I will be selling at next weekend. I’m really excited to see all of the fun things that have been beating around in my head for a while coming to life! But there is still so much to get done.
Here are some photos of what’s in store… (Please forgive the crappy photo quality. It’s dark now, so I had to take the photos with a flash.)
I love how this snowflake wreath turned out! Glittered snowflakes with glittery ribbon… totally screams the holidays for me.
I’m not as excited about this as I’d hoped I’d be. It’s a little lopsided, I think, but I still really like it. This was my first attempt at making something like this, so I’m really happy with how it turned out. I definitely learned some lessons and will be making some corrections on the next one.
I adore these! I wish I had bought more tinsel so that I could have made more of them! If they sell, I will definitely be going back for more tinsel to make more of them. If they don’t, they will find a nice place in my home for sure!
Glittery Christmas balls in varying sizes and colors. I wish we were planning on having a tree because I would fill mine with these. If the glue would only dry…
I’ve been wanting to do this for years. This is my take on a craft that I did at the very first Inspired that I attended. Jennifer Stewart taught this incredible class where we made a mantle piece out of cedar garden fencing. Her’s was filled with vintage finds and family photos. It was so dang cute. However, I knew as soon as I did it that I wanted to make a Christmas version of it. I have never made the time to do it, but this was the perfect chance to get it done! I made 2 versions… the one above and this one:
I am super happy with them both and will definitely be finding a place in my home for them. (I will be “accidentally” forgetting one of each at home. ha!)
But there is more to come. My amazing husband helped me make a template for some Christmas village houses. I found some really high quality chipboard in my stash and he will be cutting the houses out for me tomorrow. I’ll be working on those tomorrow night. I’ve also got a couple of frame ideas, but those may not get done. Oh… and I found an apron that I had completed last year that is especially for Christmas! And of course, I couldn’t go to a Christmas craft fair without some cards and gift tags in tow. I have ideas for those… just need to have about 400 more hours to get it all done this week!
The craft fair will be in Corona, California at Calvary Chapel Living Water – 1065 Railroad Street. It will be from 9am – 12pm. What doesn’t sell there will be listed in my Etsy when I return. You can see information about the craft fair here.
Ok… back to it!! Lots to get done…
