2013 WITC Craft Fair

We had another great turn out this year.  I brought the furniture, made a few infinity scarves, and had a few left over bags and mittens.  Jennifer made some adorable headbands for little girls, non slip headbands for all ages, and had some crocheted infant hats.  Mom and dad made a tote full of wool mittens.  Grandma and Grandpa are giving all the money to the grandkids!
Our booth turned out great!  It was like our own little store.  If only we could open a real store!


Before/After



New Projects

Giving my sewing machine a rest for a while, I decided to try something new.  My LOVE for garage sales resulted in my garage being filled with different furniture pieces.  I am interested in and love the look of the latest trend of shabby chic furniture.  After a talking with a  few ladies at a local vintage sale, I decided to go for it.  I bought my first jar of chalk paint and made the long drive to Minneapolis to find a store that sold Annie Sloan wax.  I then had to watch many you tube videos on how to work with these new products.  I have included some before and after pictures. 




Dresser Before

I wish I had an entry way in my house. 


This little blue dresser looked great in blue!
