Craft Fair Fiasco leads to Crafter Rut

I just love this title.  It almost makes the weeks I spent crafting, money spent on supplies, and time sitting at the craft fair worth it. 

I signed up to participate in a craft fair in early November, it was a first year for this particular craft fair.  I probably should have checked out the venue because had I seen it upfront I would have saved myself a lot of work and time.  There was a much larger craft fair the same day but it cost more to participate and I wasn’t confident that I would recoup my investment.

Let me tell you upfront I didn’t sell a single item.  The few people who showed up had no interest in my stuff. This put me in a big funk.

Here’s my crafts and pictures of us making them for your enjoyment.  This was the start of my 30 day crafting rut.  I think it might have passed.  I had the urge to go to Michaels today.

My yarn wreaths. 

I made 2 of each of these rag wreaths.

Scented Pinecone Ornaments (some just have spray glue and glitter and others are painted with glitter)

I might pull all the glued on ribbon off the white ones and make a wreath. 

My husband was so nice for helping me out.

My 3rd degree burn ribbon station.

I still have all this stuff.  I put the wreaths all around my house but I want to give the pinecones to someone who needs decorations.  If you know someone in the Triad who needs decorations please email me or comment me your email address.

I made some other things but they are just too cute and I’m saving them for a future post.
