Totes, Totes and more Totes!

Recently a friend and I were asked if to participate in a small craft fair.  The offer was made after seeing these bags.  While my friend was not keen on the idea at first (but being a good sport) we are going to give it a go.  I was ready to jump in head first.  I have been making tote bags, crocheted head bands, with more book bags in the works.  Since so much effort has been put into making all these items I decided to open an etsy shop.  Here are few of the totes we have come up with.
 



In an effort to keep things organized I decided to make an oh so craft bulletin board. 

I have loads of step by step pics to share about the process of how it all came together.  I will share that next time.

Hmmm Those vases look a little chilly

I love this tutorial. It is such a wonderful way to recycle sweaters. However, I do not wear sweaters (love that Central Coast weather). So, off to the goodwill I went and found several intricate sweaters and several vases that needed covering. Got home, plugged in the hot glue gun and went to town.
These are from 3 sweaters with plenty left over.



Even prettier with candles.





































The candles did not do much for the dark colored ones. Flowers may work better.
