Busy times

Its hopping around here!

I spent the morning sewing, and Brenda just left with her night lights. She liked them, so I was relieved. Since they are personalized items, I chose not to post without permission. I forgot to ask her...whoops!

I am also creating several small items for a new venue. Chesterton will be opening a new large indoor marketplace for small merchants and artists to sell their offerings.It will be the Saw Grass Marketplace. Easy to access from I94 or the Toll road. It is air conditioned and they include tiered tables and free Wi-Fi. Lots of large windows and lots of room to roam and browse.

I was approached by the owner last week and have been thinking about giving it a try. I will hopefully be joining Sue and Wendy in this venture. We all do a variety of work so it should be a fun and interesting booth.

Yesterday I whipped together a swing purse, which needs a few mors touches and assembled...... ....and three small amulets (2 1/4"x3")which I embellished last night and will assemble this evening. I add beaded fringe to the bottoms to be worn as jewelry yet offers a pouch to tuck in some cash or a lipstick. Today I am working on neck purses. Tomorrow I will make slide pendants.
I plan on working all week in my studio so I can have something to offer. I figure if it works out, fine, and if not, at least we gave it a shot. It is only 4 miles from my home so that is great.

Eleven adorable Comfort Dolls arrived as well as4 beautiful puzzle pieces from Cathy Kizerian on Saturday, so I must get busy and post those on their appropriate blogs so I can continue my creating! Have a great day.

  5. Sounds like a great opportunity. These pieces are really lovely.

    Just a note - the link to the puzzle piece blog in you post is not correct.

  6. Pat you know the old saying "nothing ventured nothing gained". Go for it as it might be a better place to sell then Etsy. People have to find you on etsy but there they just drop in and there you gals are with your stuff.

    I guess I will be seeing Jay Cutler because there is never a bears game that is not on at our house - certainly not for me. I sew - he watches.
