A month or so ago I posted a pretty poor photo of a surprise design in light blue and burgandy that I'd not quilted yet. I never did have a name for it so a friend named it "CourtApple Squonk" (I have some weird yet lovely friends.) Heh. Anyway, here she is:

Now that I've got that done I've been organizing things to take with me to two shows I signed up for in November. One is a big annual church bizarre in Boise and the other is the first attempt at an Indie Craft Show to take place the first of every month, sort of like a hands on, local etsy. I was inquiring around on the local craigslist one evening about other crafters and shows and got an email from a woman who is trying to get this project off the ground. I hope this goes well as it's one of the rare endevours that doesn't take a huge percentage of the profits from the artists and crafters. The motto is:
Make something! Do something!
Sans the entry fee, any profits belongs to the crafter. If anyone is around the Rose Room in downtown Boise on November 4, please stop in and say hi! It's from 10-5pm. (While I'm on that subject, I was inquiring into two of the bigger shows in Boise both *Ark In The Park* and
*Hyde Street Fair* and was floored at the entry fees of well over $200.00 PLUS they take 20% of the profits!)But back to the work I've been doing: Taking many of the wonderful ideas thrown out here before, I've made quite a variety of items for these events running the gamut in prices. Here's a peek at what I've got so far not including my quilts and wall hangings:
I don't quite know what to do with myself suddenly, not spending 8-12 hours a day sewing at the moment but since I've made a serious dent in my stash I'm going to do the next best thing tomorrow and go fabric shopping with a friend and then have lunch. Then, I'll bring my grandbaby home to spend the night with her Nana. I honestly can't think of a nicer way to spend a Saturday.
