Craft Fair Recap

-
Well, the RAC Craft Fair was a complete success! Lots of my creations found good homes and the rest will go up on etsy, though I don't think I will find the time to do it in time for the holidays, oh well.

Here's a bunch of photos from the fair, and there's a few more on my flickr page here.



My roommate's boyfriend took home one of Sylvia's squirrels! They were by far her best seller. Angela took home a brown one and I got a red one. Insanely cute!



My purdy ladies. A bunch of my friends from the stitch & bitch group I run all came out together to see me, I was so touched. Seriously, you guys are awesome!


Our booth was so full of cuteness!


I made about two dozen owls, the most I have ever made in one sitting. I nearly sold them all!




The little squirrels cracked me up. I was inspired to make them because of Jill and her roadtrip encounter with the mystical white squirrels. Long story.


And last but not least, I spent a good portion of Saturday working on a new tutorial that I know all you readers will be very excited about. Here's some teaser shots, and I will post it in a couple of days!

    Aw those squirrel pegs are adorable! They look like those little fluffy chicks you get at easter - didn't know you could get squirrel ones too. Good work!

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

I Love Lamp!

First of all, this is my 100th post which is some sort of milestone, so yay! And secondly, I've got another tutorial for a parasol light fixture to share! Today Michael and I were working on getting some light fixtures put up, which has been on my to-do list for a rediculously long time now. Endless gratitude for Michael making me get my butt in gear! So he helped me hang this nifty lotus flower-shaped lamp from Ikea over my sewing table. (I've always wanted one!) I finally have enough light to see what I'm doing, so maybe I'll actually start making things again! So anywho, on to the tutroial... Remember my idea for turning a parasol into a light fixture? Well with Michael's help I finally did it! We had a lot of technical issues to work out, so hopefully if anyone out there wants to make one this tutorial should save you a lot of time. As far as materials, you only need a hacksaw, a parasol, and some wire. Start by cutting the handle off of the paraso
