Some of my favorite things to make....

You know the little packages of kleenex that always seems to get destroyed in the bottom of your purse and you end up throwing half of the package in the trash? I found the solution ...... zippered tissue cases. I love making these cases and as soon as my Elle gets home from the sewing machine hospital I will be making more. It is amazing how you can take the same fabric and use different color zippers and create different looks/

I have a couple dozen made up but these apparently are the only ones I have taken a picture ......

Not doing to good....

Well my attempt at the book review was a flop so I thought I would blog about my crafting. As you can see I haven't done well blogging about that either. It's easier for me to post pics of items I have made rather than writing so I will do just that.....

In February of this year I decided to try selling my items at a craft show. I considered my first two shows as being successful since I at least made my entry fee back plus a little profit. However, my third show was a total disaster. I don't think it had anything to do with the items I was selling or the economy, I believe it was due to failure on the coordinator's part to advertise the event. My display setup is a work in progress; after each (profitable) show I try to add something new.

It's hard to see what items are on the table but they are hand towels, embroidered toilet paper, hot/cold corn therapy bags and baby (knit) cocoon wraps. The small baskets hanging on the grid panel contain key rings and travel size tissue holders.
Here are a couple of pics that my daughter-in-law took of my booth at the last show:
