I made these ribbon trees with plain black sculptures from Ikea and Martha Stewart scrapbook ribbon from Michaels. Directions for making the beaded butterfly and flower are at http://www.marthastewart.com/good-things/beaded-hair-ornaments. I used the trees last weekend to display my business cards and my sister Brooke made some that she uses to display her pretty jewelry on…
Thanks to Stephanie Spears and everyone who made the craft
fair on Saturday so much fun! We had a trickster visit our booth several
times…the Wind knocked down our signs and displays and blew away our neighbor’s
tent. The biggest surprise was that our crafts actually outsold Anthony’s
water. I got a chance to walk around and see all the other booths and there
were lots of beautiful things, like jumbo fabric hair flowers and pretty little
sundresses, made by ultra talented people.
I just couldn’t resist this intelligently designed and perfectly
stitched bib made with retro fabrics by Emily Willert of PlumageEtcetera.Etsy.com.
She made it with ties instead of Velcro (which used to scratch Superbaby’s
skin) and arm holes that protect clothing better than just a neck tie. What I
love most about Emily’s whole line is her hard-to-find fabric selection. Hope
you love this bib as much as I do, baby N!
The winner of the craft fair drawing is Anna Bailey. She’ll be getting her cut paper Kitty in the mail soon!
My motorcross obsessed brother-in-law Jeff Baker didn’t want to miss out on all the fun at the fair tomorrow, so he sent some of the hats he designs for his clothing line. Check ‘em out (my fave is the pinstripes, I want one in Superbaby’s size!):
Got some more of Heidi’s bags this afternoon to sell at the fair tomorrow!
I’m also bringing some of my Assorted Flavors onsies and tees:
Got a big box in the mail today from my sister Brooke full of her beautiful crafts to sell at the fair tomorrow. Here are her painted and papered picture frames:
Brooke made these using the techniques shown on Martha Stewart’s website. And here are more of her hair clippies and bows:
