More cuteness from the craft show. Coin purses made with vintage barkcloth and buttons by John Met Betty. Besides being another young, talented, vibrant and very cute crafter, Jill had a very simple yet effective display at the show: The baskets were built up on the inside so the coin purses rested just near the…
The December Out of the Box challenge was to ‘Make a Real Woman of Your Choice!’ It was also a gift exchange. The perfect opportunity to work up this fabulous Sublime Stitching Roller Derby pattern. I’ve been hoarding a series of these patterns for several years. Always with the best of intentions. The challenge finally…
This is Ski Sheep. My friend Laurie Sharp has written a book and sells kits in her Etsy shop for these adorable felted wool animals. Her husband constructed those amazing, collapsible display shelves for her booth at the craft show: Now back to Santa’s workshop for me! Absolutely CAN NOT WAIT to show you what…
This year’s picture of the Thanksgiving table. I take one every year. Last year I set up the tri-pod and did an auto-timer (drove everyone crazy, “the turkey’s getting cold Mom”). I usually just try and get the table. A snapshot of the food prepared for a celebration giving thanks for all the blessings in…

The talent of the other crafters vending at La Befana was really impressive. I thought I’d highlight some of the displays and wares over the next week This is Ideal Bunny. If you’re in Seattle you can see her wares in person at Urban Craft Uprising on Dec 6 & 7. That is not Jane…
La Befana was a big success. High quality vendors and lots of customers. I grossed more than I anticipated which was icing on the cake. My primary goal had been to get out of my bubble and meet some fellow crafters plus have the opportunity to chat with customers. The booth space was really small….
11/21/08: Congratulations to Cara, comment #97! She chose my favorite one. Now off to the show! Thoughts I had while taking pictures: I LOVE how the big prints have a fabulous random pattern thing going on when closed. Definitely need to keep one of the black & white ones for myself. I REALLY hope the…
Tomorrow I’ll be tracking how many minutes I have left to prepare for La Befana. Thank you to everyone that commented on my last post. Wowza. Pure gold. I’m going to share Candy’s comment because it’s that good! “So, words of wisdom from someone who has done this before? I have many words, don’t know…
La Befana is a holiday craft show featuring Bainbridge Island artists. It takes place this Friday and Saturday (November 21 and 22) at the Grange Hall on Madison Avenue. I’m very excited to be participating. Selling handmade goods is definitely not my forte but I sure do enjoy the act of making, preparing, and interacting…
