Street Fair Prep

Mama's Little Monkey's, Quibby's Bows and I will be at the Picayune Street Fair.

To prepare for said Street Fair I went to Michale's and Hobby Lobby about 2 weeks ago. I spent just about all my money on yarn. My wonderful best friend had given me $50 gift certificate so I was able to get some scrapbooking supplies for my other habit.

So in all the chaos of getting ready for this... here are some pics to make you smile. This is my "craft" room. It's a corner of my living room. I'm just so thankful that my hubby got me a dishwasher so I can spend more time making stuff. HA HA!

Some finished, some not so finished projects. All my scrapbooking stuff in the back. I really need to buy one of those organizers for that.


I was in the middle of making a hat last night and got too tired to finish.


I cleaned off my sewing table the other day to fill a wipes order and it just got stacked here. Yes that is more yarn.

My yarn drawer is overflowing....



Into this box....



The cleanest place in my craft corner.



I found the last stash of the forest animal print on the Internet that I'm aware of and bought the last 3 yards. If you know anyone who has this print let me know. It's my most popular print for wipes and they've discontinued it. I'm hoping it will be back in the fall. This will all be wipes by the end of the weekend.



Happy Crafting!
Tell anyone you know in the South MS, or LA area to come by the Street Fair and check us out. We will have a TON of cute things.

Spring Inspired Craftiness

Today is officially the first day of Spring here in the US...so I'm told! Here in Southern Louisiana...we only  have two seasons, hurricane and football...

But I digress....spring is a fabulous time to get inspired creatively! Things are blooming, green, colors are vibrant. It's the perfect time to reevaluate what you do, why you do it, and how can you change things? How can YOU grow as an artisan?

I'm  a big fan of Tip Junkie, and was happy to find this post on Easter/Spring ideas.

What nifty things do you have planned for spring? Personally I am still on a purge..purge the house, purge the toys, purge my life to make it simpler! Having a new full time job really cuts into my creative time but I am learning to make do and enjoy the simple things I can do to feed my creativity.

What inspires you by Spring?

You're Forced to Choose ONE Craft Medium...

What would it be? Many of us do several craft mediums, like I do sewing, melt and pour soaps, some paper crafts and whatever lil odds and ends I can get my hands on.

But suppose you were being held hostage and your captors had a soft spot for handmade art, and they allowed you to keep ONE craft....what would it be?

For me, sewing and fabric NO DOUBT. I love soap, I love paper, but I REAAAALLY love fabric!

What's your ONE thing?

What's New? What's for Sale?

Share with us!! I'd like to take a moment to let you know what we have for sale in Destash City that's new. Why? Well, for one, well, because I can...and for two, you KNOW you want to see it. If you are following this blog you are a supplyaholic too. Go ahead, admit it...it's OKAY. We'll hold your hand.

I've added some buttons and zippers to Destash City on Artfire and some fabric yo yo's and Riley Blake on Etsy

What do you have for sale that us supplyaholics can lust after? What new finds have you gotten?

Personally I'm jonesing..I haven't been able to sew in awhile due to life, illness and other to-do's. I finished a huge load of badge reels and some pendants (which I still haven't listed because I haven't gotten pics!). I NEED TO SEW. But will I get to sew soon? NOPE. Our family has to recover from the flu and catch up on what didn't get done while we were sick. And then there's taxes to do. Ugh.

Soooooooooooo show us what you got!!! Or do you know of a good sale? SHARE! :)
