I have a few patterns in my head that I want to create for the babes (although she has so many clothes). I may just end up making myself a few things instead! I did sign up to do a pattern test! I can hardly wait for it - it will be so cute in the fall with tights and long sleeves (I even picked up corduroy for this dress yesterday in a pretty light blue!)
In the mean time... I made these adorable little owls. They are a great scrap busting project! (saw a picture on pinterest and thought I can make that easily enough - 2 triangles sewn together, flip the pointy part down ans stitch to one side, then sew on the eyes/beak, and sew a running stitch to gather up the bottom, stuff, sew closed, and put a little felt over that gathered closing)
I plan to sell them at the craft sale - only a few more days... I'm so nervous and praying like crazy that I sell out! (ironically enough I want to use the craft sale $$ to buy Christmas presents... Although I may be doing more homemade stuffs this year - since we are on a much tighter budget this year with my staying home with the babes). I'm also wanting to set out some little cards or something with my email to hand out if people want for taking on a few custom orders. If anyone has suggestions for setting up for a craft sale and making this pretty - or any other suggestions please let me know! (this is my 1st one - hence my being nervous and writing about it so much). How do you attach price tags to things like the owls?
I have realized when it comes to making price tags for my crafting... (and for my card making, etc crafting) That I really want/need some sort of cutting machine! I put it on my Christmas list, but maybe if I manage to sell out at the craft sale I'll pick one up! (cricut? or silhouette?)
ps. if you haven't yet please please vote for me! (link here)
