Shop Update

I listed a few of the dolls left over from the show in the shop. You can see them here. I am planning on adding more great items throughout the next few weeks so please keep checking back.

2009 Arts and Craft Emporium

Another fun year at the Emporium! The best part was having my son with me for both days. He helped customers and made sure everything was tidy and in it's place and without even being asked! We had another drawing this year, but this time for a custom made Lambkin doll. 

Once again my camera battery had died on the first day so these were taken mid-afternoon on the last day of the show.

 

 

The Girls!

All materials put together and you have a...ummm..a school? of lovely swimming mermaid gals.

Two sizes, 18" and 16" from tip of there tails to top of their heads.

The larger mermaids have button jointed arms for full movement and also come with a silver crown and glass pearl bracelet.

The Most Beautiful Yarn Find

I found these bits of lovely at a local yarn shop. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect yarn for the special girls I have planned for this years Emporium.

Of course, the photo doesn't do it justice!

Heads or Tails?

This is what my desk looked like before the Arts and Crafts Emporium. It was a little overwhelming but I got through it one by one.

      

      

 

St. Martinstag Gingerbread Men

We celebrated St. Martinstag at my son's school on November 13th. It was the coldest night so far and the lantern walk itself was short but sweet. I made about 80 gingerbread men, not all of them actually made it to the school though...umm...what can I say, it's hazardous being made from yummy gingerbread.

 The photos below are a little collection I titled: Sleep Deprivation. FYI Playing with your food is fun!
