Bow Holders

I finally got the last of the bow holders made from the craft fair back in December and delivered them yesterday. I have one more still to get to the rightful owner but I feel like at least I'm making progress! I was so glad to hear that the people who ordered them liked how they turned out! Here are the three I delivered yesterday!

This is actually for my neighbors little girl - Marlene. Her room colors are pink and brown, so I went with those. Because the "M" was so much bigger than the other letters, I had to do a bigger base and do it horizontally with more ribbons - so she lucked out! :)

These holder are for twin sisters and she requested one to be pink and one to be purple. I came up with these and was a little nervous as to whether or not she would like that I combined them but she told me she loved it and since they share a room they were perfect! I was so happy to hear that! When I was making them the only thing I was disappointed about was that I didn't have purple ribbon that matched so I had to stick with pink and white ribbon. All-in-all though I thought they turned out pretty cute!!

Craft Fair Items

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted - life has been a flurry of activity! I made the last minute decision last week to do a craft fair that was happening locally so although I knew I wouldn't be able to mass-produce things, I did take orders. It went pretty well. There wasn't a huge amount of people that came but I did get some orders and made back my money on the table plus some. Here are some pictures of the things I made:

These are some hershey bar goodies - you pull up the ribbon (without untying) and the hershey bar comes up. Great little stocking stuffers!

This is a little stationery set - it can be personalized with different patterned paper and colors/initial.

These are some journals - a couple had matching pens.

Here's a picture of my best selling item of the day:

It's a monogrammed bow/barrette holder. I have quite a few of these I still need to make! If you would be interested in ordering any of these items, please let me know by leaving a comment with your contact info and I'd be happy to get back with you with more information!!

This was the first craft fair I've done as a "crafter" instead of a "business". It was a lot of fun and something I would definitely consider doing again. I just wish I'd had more time this time to mass produce but people didn't seem to mind ordering from me.
