Preparing for Ye Olde History Faire

I'm getting ready for my first ever "craft fair"! Well, it's not really a craft fair. It's actually a history fair being sponsored by our local homeschool support group. One of the features will be hand-made crafts being sold by local homeschoolers, that includes me! The fair takes place in February so I'm working hard to get some items ready to sell.

The plan is to make lots of earrings rings like these.

I would also like to create a bunch of little critters like these!

I recently finished creating this doll for a friend's daughter for Christmas. 

 

She LOVED it! Her dad told me that the first thing she said when she opened it was, "She looks JUST like me!!" That made my day because that was the goal! I now have two more doll orders that are due in March. Those will have to be started after the history fair. For now, I need to get back to crocheting!!



Crocheted Hightop Booties

I made these for a nephew's expected baby girl. They turned out soo cute! These are $10.

I made this Blankie Bunnie for the same baby girl. This would also be $10.

Kitties

These kitties were made for a little girl who is my best customer! They are $10 each. She named the grey one Featherpaw and the black & white one Ravenpaw.

Nativity Set

This set is missing the Wisemen. But you can get the entire set for $30.

Wii Controller Holster

This item was born out of my own necessity. I've been working out using Biggest Loser Wii for about a month now. It was very frustrating when they would tell me to put the controller in my pocket and I don't have pockets in most of my workout shorts. So I created a holster for my Wii Controller.

This is actually the second one I made. My prototype needed improvements and wasn't really made for 'show'. I have been using the prototype in my workouts however and it works great! The Wii Controller Holster features cotton belting with a parachute clip to attach the holster around your waist. Cotton belting secures the holster to your leg using velcro for quick change overs to the other leg during workouts. There is also a flap to close the top preventing your controller from slipping out. This is made to be used with the Wii Motion Plus or without, or with a protective sleeve or without. I am selling this product for $12.

In case you were wondering...

Just in case anyone has been wondering where I've been...I've been staying quite busy! It seems that I've had order right after order. My hubby helped me set up a database so I can keep track of all these orders coming in. I will have to show pictures of my latest orders soon.

We have a winner!!!

Thank you to all of you who posted comments to this site and also to my new Facebook page, Dee-lightful Creations Crochet. Everyone who became a fan of that page was also entered into the drawing. Also those who posted comments to my posts on my Facebook profile concerning this contest.

I put everyone's name into a spreadsheet to find out how many entries I had. Then I entered the number into http://www.random.org/. I matched the number they brought up to the number and name on my spreadsheet.
