Whew....Done!

My oh my!! It has been a long time since I have posted hasn't it. Well I am finally done with all the local Christmas shows and bazaars and what a great season we had! The local people are just amazing in supporting the local shops and fairs. I wish I could thank each and everyone of them. 

We had some new items that just flew off the shelves. This year I made some placemats using fabric that shows one of our favorite flowers up here and of course my coiled bowls that did really well. Still have a few of these in my Etsy shop. 

Then my husband did really well with his woodworking. He had aspen candle holders that were new this year and everyone really liked them. Only have a few of those left. His birch bowls did really well too. Now he has to get busy and get more stuff made so we can fill his Etsy shop back up. LOL! :)

All in all we had a terrific year. From the summer visitors to the local people we did really well. I thank God everyday that we are able to have our little business and create things for everyone to see. It is so much fun and fulfilling. :)

Hope everyone's Christmas season is going well and you are all getting everything done. This time of year is so much fun...hectic but fun. :) Which reminds me.....I still need to get the baking done! Yikes better get going and do that. 

Have a great week!

Working On New Product

I have been sewing my little fingers off! Trying to get some new products in my Etsy shop and getting ready for the summer markets around here. 

Awhile back I blogged that I had purchased the EQ7 quilting software  because I wanted to design my own quilts . Well I did manage to get a few mug rug/candle mats designed and made....a few you say......how about 24 of them! I was a sewing fool. LOL! :)  Here are a few of them that I made. 

I also have been cranking out the fabric bowls. I just keep buying fabrics and making bowls! I love all the fabrics that I can turn into bowls. They are time consuming to make, but when they are done I think they turn out really good. Making lots of them for the shop and the summer shows too. 

You can see everything I made right  here. Still have lots of fabric to use up so guess I will be adding to my pot holders soon. :)  So what have you been working on? :)

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Getting Caught Up

So has everyone had time to catch their breathe from the holiday's yet? I know it takes some time to do that. I had sooooooooo many things that were half done that I just didn't have time to finish before Christmas. One of the things that were really a big hit this Christmas show season was my fabric bowls that I started to make. I couldn't believe how well they sold! I had a few cut out that I just didn't get time to finish so last week I said I needed to get them done and put in the tub for next time. So I thought I would show you the one's that I finished. 

This fireweed fabric is probably one of my best sellers. I have also sold a few from my Etsy shop. I just love the colors of this fabric.

How about the pictures on this fabric! I can't believe how pretty the loons are and this fabric shows the details so well.

And then of course if you have a southwestern decor it definitely needs some red hot peppers.



I really like making these bowls. They do take some time to make and my shoulder does get a little sore (age!), but when I am done I just love the way they look. I have several others that I will need to get made. I am a creature of lists and have lists of lists and yes I have a list of what designs of fabric bowls to make. Ha!Ha!

Well off to the sewing room. Have a great day!
