Craft Fair

So the craft fair was ok.  I didn't sell much of anything and had a generally frustrating morning with mishaps, forgetting things and two hours of rain followed by chilly weather until the afternoon when it became sweltering!  I did, however, pass out a few business cards and had many compliments on my uniform aprons!  <3  I'll put up pictures on my facebook page for guys to view and maybe a few up here too.  Just look up meashinTubbyStuff in the search on your facebook page :)

New bag for the Craft Fair

    I'm always making things for myself.  I make new bags and things and then transfer from one bag to the other to give the new one a test drive.  I love doing that because it's free advertising for one and secondly it helps me to figure out what's working and what's not working.

     The new purse was the least frustrating purse I have made so far!  I was so happy about that.  There are only a few adjustments that I'll be making to it.  I'm going to make 4-5 for the fair with different lining fabric.  I hope that design goes over well.

     I made a bag that I thought would be great to take to the gym or your Zumba class.  I modified a pattern for a different bag for this one.  Four outer pockets for water bottles and an open space in the middle to throw your wallet and keys and mp3 player into.  It works well for that.  I tried using it as a purse and found that incredibly frustrating.  I would store things in the outer pockets and when I went to look for the item I couldn't find it easily.  I would go all around the bag and through every pocket and finally find it.  I hate it as a purse but as a gym bag it's great.

     I hope you'll check out my facebook page to see all of the pictures of my creations and to see what's new for the fair including the purse I recently made.

AHHH!!

So, I said that I was going to do this craft fair at the end of this month.  I haven't made anything new, I just spent a ton of money so I can accept credit cards, to buy a canopy, and other things!!  I don't know what to do!!!  I don't know what to make, or anything like that!!

I guess I'll post later about a new bag I made that was the easiest one so far!  I guess that I could make a few of those.  It was fairly easy to make.  I have lots of baby items I could make.  I guess I know what to make, I think my problem is that I just don't do it!!  Maybe I should just get down to business and get started!!
