Hi everybody! I’m just checking in with you all since it’s about 2 weeks until my next show. I had really great intentions to add all my Halloween to the Etsy page but life had other plans. We picked up Covid somewhere! Dennis was down one day and bounced right back. Me, not so much. I did see the doc today and got the med that helps with the symptoms, but I’m too wiped out to even sit and sew. I will do my best to have some new things at the St Joe Lions show!

It’s hard to believe but craft show season is here! Today I am at the united Methodist woman’s craft show in La Porte running from 9 to 3 central time, or 10 to 4 our time. I’m in my usual spot in the Small Projects building in Booth 15.

And now there’s a ton more at the goodwill on Grape Road! Someone needs to scoop these up!!

Hey! Crafter friends! If you do wreath crafts and use those rolls of netting, RUN to the Goodwill in Niles! They have literally BAGS filled with rolls of it. Some are right by the cash registers, but check the craft aisle too. And if you qualify for the senior discount, it’s half off today.

Sometimes people ask me how I get my ideas. Inspiration comes from many sources. Sometimes I scroll through Pinterest when I’m starting a new project. I love to look at the colors and shapes; for some reason dots and squares inspire me! It’s probably that mid century modern influence from my childhood. Sometimes I watch videos while I’m working and one of my favorites is a show on Netflix called Blown Away. It’s about glass blowing and glass art but it’s very inspiring to watch the artist put together colors and shapes. Craft in America and A Craftsman's Legacy on PBS are also very inspiring to see other people who make their living making things. Often it’s a raw material that inspires me. There’s this great shop, Felt Supply and More on Etsy that sells printed felt that I absolutely love. She prints all kinds of felt for different holidays and shapes and colors. And sometimes just one piece of felt might inspire me to create a whole piece. Inspiration can come from so many sources. But it is motivation that is usually my problem. It can be really hard to work at home alone with no interaction with people. It’s so much easier to just waste a whole day on Pinterest then busting out all of the supplies I’ll need to start a new project! Time management is an issue as well. I do not have time to make all the things that I want to, especially when I’m producing large amount of stock for fall shows. And you know me, If I make 10 of something they’re all going to be different and that can be overwhelming sometimes!! So I’m asking you guys, my amazing followers, what would you prefer to see? A unique, one-of-a-kind item on Etsy or a wide variety of the same item at a craft show? Let me know!

The third show on my schedule, Christmas in October at Fishers High School on October 10, is also my third show to cancel. Three down, hopefully the last three in Michigan will not be cancelled! You’ll be the first to know!

So I bought this pompom maker so I could make my own but these are the worst directions EVER! Lol!!

Just a quick note to all about Fall 2020 Craft Shows. As of today, only one show has cancelled due to Covid 19. That would be the UMW Fall Arts & Crafts Show on September 26, 2020 at the LaPorte County Fairgrounds. I'm hopeful that the rest will still be held, but if not we are working on alternate ways to showcase our products for you! Stay tuned!
