It's a living...

So, Wolf's office is having a craft fair and I've decided to make some stuff to take and try to sell...  I put together a bunch of different things - wine bags, gift bags and fleece duffle bags... and I plan to make some toffee.  

I'm not really certain about pricing everything.  You speak to one person and they say t go low and another says to go high and I'm torn because I don't want to give it all away and I don't want to be left with all kinds of stuff left over (and have to give it all away)... we'll see...

So, maybe it's not a living, but I needed to do something to break up the monotony of job hunting.  Wouldn't it be great to be one of those people who can make a living doing all those things that they love to do?

sadly, the elf shoes that I intended to make for the craft show just take too long, so...

here are some pics of the stuff I've made.  

note: I've not posted pics of any pottery as I have been throwing pieces for a wood-firing that will be happening in February.  Since I need to have 30 pieces to take there really hasn't been time to make other stuff...

"I got a rock"


=)  What Fun!  I found some really cute Halloween fabric at Joanne's and put together these Trick or Treat bags for the kids.  It's basically a pillow case (was there anything better to use as a kid?) with a tie near the top.  Really easy and I am very happy with how they came out.  My fave is the googlie eyes, but the purple with owls is a great fabric.
