Crafty Craftness

Hello all,

I'm a terrible blogger, clearly.  I get caught up working and doing lots of things that I forget to update this site.

I have been getting all my things together for the craft fair.  Things are looking good :).  I can't wait.  I feel like I will never get it all done for then.  Once the craft fair is over whatever I don't sell, I am going to put up on etsy to get that store going.

I have also decided that starting in October I am having a goal of one new project a month of a garment....ahh.  This is scary to me.  I have become a master of the easy peasy skirt, but I'd love to slowly start making staples in my wardrobe myself.  So from October-October I will have made at the minimum 12 projects that I could wear.

I have also decided to attempt to go back to knitting....I taught myself to knit a while back and it was my way into sewing.  And I have left it at the wayside even though I have  found such great peace in sitting and knitting.  It makes feel not so guilty when I'm laying around and watching TV.

Stay tuned dear readers.  I have also decided to make my own shopping bags to put my swag in I hopefully will sell.  I'm very excited about a custom stamp I ordered from etsy so I can personalize all the bags.  It worked out to be way cheap to orders some recycled brown shopping bags and a stamper, than paying for the design to be printed right on to the bag.  Hopefully that comes soon so I can start stamping up some bags to bring with me.  I also plan on using the stamp if I sell stuff on etsy and have to ship it. I made the investment because I really really hope I can start making lots more things and sell the heck out of them :)

Hope this day finds you well....Happy Thursday!
