what's up

It has been just two weeks since my 3 had there last day of school.  And I have been doing a lot of driving around.  I am in total stay-at-home mom mode lately.  So I have had no time to blog at all!

But the ingenious Claire has been good about getting me out and keeping me busy.  She got us a space at the Sacramento Antique Faire on Sun. June14th.  The faire is more like a flea market and is such a good time with good prices.  I did just a little bit of shopping myself.  I found a really nice bit of bark cloth for $1.  It did have a big hole in it!

We sold some of our own creations plus some very choice thrifty finds.   So here are a bunch of photo's for you to see of our day out and about under the Sacramento W/X freeway.

It's a fun day out from 6:30 - 3 and only costs $3. with free parking.  Let me know if you make over there, the 2nd Sunday of each month.  More photo's will be posted to my flickr.  Yes, there is more.

just one more

I promise! maybe.   I just couldn't resist sharing this one last photo with you.



I saw this 1964 program at the Sacramento Antique Faire.  Don't you just love her sparklie pants!



This fabric is baby circus! I'm making a cuddle blanket and matching onesie out of this.  The blanket will be backed with either pink or yellow minky.  I have to see what I have enough of to use first.



And these are just some of the new eye pillows that I've made for HP.  Can't you just smell the lavender?  The pillow is also filled with some organic flaxseed to give it a little more weight.  I love making these because I like using up my fabric scraps, mixing and matching them is like color therapy.  And I really like making a little something that a mom can have for herself when she gets something for her baby, or her friends baby.

Come and see me on Saturday, k?
