Arcade Church Women's Ministry Craft Fair

Hello all!

So about three weeks ago I decided to sign up to host a booth at the Women's Ministry Craft Fair at my church.  I've been waiting to write in my blog until I had something fun or creative happening in my life to share. (Or maybe I've just been super lazy/busy/whatever you wanna call it, anyhow...) Well the time has come! I am writing. :)

It has been so much fun deciding what to make for the fair. I've never done this before so it is a total learning experience for me.

I had zero inventory, as I said, I don't do this... ever. So, a couple of weeks ago I had nada.  Well, I've worked my derriere off and so far I've made some super cute hair clips, or critter clips as I call them (you'll see why in the photos); I've also made some dishtowel aprons, chalkboards out of recycled materials, little bow-ties for boys (only 2 but hey it's something for the little dudes!), and a ton of cowls, or as I prefer to call them snoods!

The snoods were the most time consuming, I guess that's to be expected since they are hand knit.

I've had so much fun. I really hope that at least a few of my things will sell. If not, no problem, I made sure to make things I love so I can keep them if they don't! Ha! :) But the idea is after all to raise some money for the church, as absolutely 100% of the sales are donated to the Women's Ministry.

Anyhow, I'll report back later with photos of my stash and my set up. Tomorrow is the big day!

Mrs. Magaña signing out, laterz!
