Playing around

As I mentioned yesterday, I have been playing around with a little bit of crochet this past week. Mostly little things. I am trying to decide on what my goal is for this month. On June 7th I will participate in a Crafts Show in a nearby town. Two of my crafty friends and I will share a big booth and we will certainly have many different items for sale, from weaving, knitting and crochet.

So now preparations have to be made, from having a pop-up tent, to chairs, table coverings, displays, baskets and much more. Everything has to be neatly washed and priced.

At this point I would really like to ask all of you for your opinions. From your own experiences, what kind of things sell the best at crafts shows? I have some basic standby's like Dishcloth, Potholders, and such, but otherwise I am just not sure what kind of things I should still be making up this month. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here are a few of the things I have been playing around with:

 Some Dishcloth

And some key holders,

but I think they are a bit to large.

And than I made some more coasters

I think they are nice, bright and pretty.

For this I found the pattern here

At the moment I am roaming around on Pinterest to find some more things I might like to make. Hope I can find some quick things.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions.......Till next time

Craft Project

Once a month the ladies of my church get together to do something crafty. Last week was no exception. This time we made something for the outdoors, something colorful and fun. I thought I would share it with you.

What can you make with a straw hat and a few little 

clay flowerpots?

Well, have you guessed yet?

Work in progress.....

Those really bright colors were mine.

The next one belong to one of the other ladies.

You can tell how different our tastes are.

And now the finished project.

Sorry the picture is not the best, as the light was pretty lousy,

but you get the idea.

They all came out so cute. 

Every one of them different.

They will make great additions to our front porches,

don't you think.

Well fun was had by all.

Next month we are going to make some 

Hypertufa.

Will share that with you when the time comes.

Easter Crafting

Today I thought we would enjoy to look at some other crafty projects that we can make and enjoy for Easter. Doesn't that sound like fun? So have any of you made any Easter crafts yet?

Personally I am running a bit behind on making something, but I will most like still come up with a project I can enjoy and share with you.
