A Fun Fall Fair

Well, I"ve been busy!

Next weekend (September 14-15)

 is the Campbell Valley Fair and I've been making things to sell in my booth.

Like what, you ask?

Well, there will be pumpkins.

Painted fabric pumpkins,

 pumpkins with faces, 

 little pumpkins with faces,

 burlap pumpkins,

 painted, flat pumpkins,

 wool pumpkins, 

 pumpkins on sticks,

and in garlands,

 scarecrow pumpkins,

 pumpkins with crows,

 and crows on pumpkins.

Of course there'll be food...

 I can never grow these gourds with the long necks

so I decided to sew a few. 

 You can't have a fall fair without sunflowers,

 or a few cats,

and some crows,

 and a few more pumpkins.

Halloween's just around the corner

so we need a few scary things.

 How about a burlap owl or two? 

 Or a fat chenille spider and little spider-web coasters?

 This oh-so-creepy bat?

 Or some of these?

Did I say there'd be pumpkins?

And lots of other fun stuff!

Hope to see you there!

Loving the Creative Life

Can it possibly be April already?

Time is flying and I feel so very blessed to be able to spend my days doing what I love.
This past week I've been making all kinds of fun things to sell at the Vintage Market coming up in June and on consignment throughout the year at Creekside Home Decor here in Abbotsford.

Here's a sampling of what you can expect to see.

Of course, there'll be an assortment of penny rugs,

make-do's and pinkeeps,

fabric-covered boxes and grungy jars,

cloth-covered journals,

shabby signs,

puzzle balls and old-time pincushions,

and a few things to make you smile.

If you see something you like but can't make it out this way to shop, I'm always happy to custom-create for you--just give me a call!
