Lovely Saturday!

Spent the day at the General Store on Smith Mountain Lake today.  Crafters and Artisans set up in the parking lot on the 2nd Saturday of each month during the summer. and I have met so many new customers and friends.

Crafters are a special type of "family".  We are all passionate about what we do.  I love it when people can get together and share their God given talents with others. I have been blessed with many new friendships!

Here are a couple of pictures of my booth.

It was a blessed day!

Ok, we're getting close to busy season again.  Where has the summer gone?  Lately, I've been working on Christmas ornaments to sell in my Etsy store.

This tends to be my favorite time of the year for crafting. 

Blessings,

Pat

Almost Finished!

 Once in a while I just have an uncontrollable urge to hand quilt a project. Finished this little wall hanging.  Now I just need to get the binding done.

That little bird has to be my favorite block in the quilt. 

Be Blessed Everyone,
Pat

New Booth at Blue Ridge Antiques

Finally opened up a booth at the Blue Ridge Antique Center in Rocky Mount.  This antique, furniture, and home decor mall is located just north of the town of Rocky Mount on route 220. If you haven't been, you really are missing a fun shopping trip.  This place is filled with lovely vintage, handmades, antiques, and discounted furniture.  A lovely place to visit.
I thought I'd post pictures of my booth there.  It's found on the 5th row, booth # 33. I'm at the back of the row on the corner. Come see!

Back Again!

After a January break, I'm back to blogging and enjoying a pretty busy schedule.  I am inspired to work on spring projects.  I know we are in for a little more cold temperatures, but it's really nice to think about the warmth of springtime.  It's on it's way!

I am proud to announce that I have opened a booth at Blue Ridge Marketplace and Antiques located just north of Rocky Mount on route 220.  My daughter in law, Olivia, manages there and I am so excited to be one of their vendors.  When you drop by, check out my booth # 33.  Pictures later when I get decorated.

Here are some projects I have been working on for the last couple weeks.

Decoupaged Eggs- These are decoupaged with old hymnal pages and embellished with one of my handmade shabby  flowers.

My hand made conversation hearts. You can find the tutorial on a past blog of mine.

I am very proud of this vintage mason jar lamp.   The shade is covered with muslin and embellished with shabby chic flowers and bead trim.

I hope everyone is having a blessed new year.  I know that God is going to bless 2014 with many miracles and much happiness.

Thanks for dropping in and be blessed,
Pat

Craft Show Schedule

This weekend was a successful one at the Lady Eagles Craft Show at Franklin County High. 

I saw lots of return customers and met new ones, and the business was pretty constant throughout the day.  

Thank you, Linda, for the help!  I enjoy having you come along to keep things fun and interesting.  We make a good team.

Thank you, Lori, for all the hard work in managing this show.  I know how much work and heart you give to this show.  We all appreciate the effort.

My schedule for the rest of the year is as follows:

Bassett High School Craft Show  is November 16, 9-5 and November 17, 1-5.

Humble Heart Open House is December 7, 10-5 and December 8, 1-5.
