And December took hold

Every year the same thing happens I get a bit obsessed 'some' may say (you know who you are!). I have a million projects swimming in my brain and only a small pin size hole of time to extricate them. It is complete torture.

I spent the first weekend at our local holiday bizarre trying to make a bit of money selling my craftiness. Mara joined me in our first miserable attempt to market our wares. We had a terrible location in the very bowels of the craft fair. Perhaps this is why we didn't sell much. Okay, that is our story and we're sticking to it!

My hardest work (making all these skirts for little girls) got the funniest comments.


A handful of people asked if they were aprons and 2 people actually in all seriousness asked me if they were lamp shades!! I got a good laugh out of that comment all day. To give you an idea of what I've been up to last month I'll post pictures because I cannot list everything...okay I'll try: 10 skirts, 5 knitted hats, 4 head/ear-warmers, 20 pairs of earrings, 8 sets of glass beaded stitch markers, 2 wool hats, 15 oragami star folded journals, and 5 ribbon wands. That sounds close.

Here in all my glory I present some of the fruits of my labor.
