Here is what I have been up to

I have been a busy little bee lately! I have a new style of pendant - here is a picture. It was hard for me to get a good pic, but they are really neat! They are now at Dainty Daisies & my shows.

I also made cool & comfy new winter hats. They are a cloche style, they remind me of the 40's. They are made of fleece so they are warm, and fit about ages 7-adult. Those are also at Dainty Daisies & my shows.

And a friend is opening a shop in Madison called the Glitter Workshop. It is located at 6138 Mineral Point Road in the Homestead Shoppes. The grand opening in Saturday Nov 13th. I have sent her goodies including these - hand stamped ornaments! I really love they way they turned out. They are about 2" diameter & are nice & light so they won't pull down the branches of your tree.

Well, we need to have breakfast & got some more sewing done. My next show is in 2 weeks. YIKES!

The Show

So I was at the Holiday MarketPlace today. While I was very prepared & had a cute little spot (the pictures don't do it justice....at all) I'd have to say sales were down a bit from last year. But with the Craftacular just a few days away I was okay with it - I will have less to do to get ready for it :) I came home with more ching than I went with so I can't complain.

I was really happy with the display. I had a pretty sheer-white festive cloth over my usual pink table cloth, I also have cute holiday signs. I used my usual headband rack to hold scarves and I had all sorts of pretty new ribbon chains for the pendants and I had bracelets perched in the branches of a pretty pink tree & surrounding it like a tree skirt.

I will have to make onesies this week. And another display for them. With having girl & boy shirts one display doesn't seem like enough...

Well I need to get off the computer now have a good night

My 15 seconds of fame.....

Fox 11 news came to the downtown market this weekend. I was on the news :) It was before 8am and a BIG surprise so all & all I think it went well. They also interviewed Mary (she paints glass) and Mar (who makes yummy bath products) This clip has Mary & my part......
