Indie Craft Bizare


Last December Becca and I went to the Deluxe Indie Craft Bizarre at the state fair grounds. We had tons of fun looking at all the hand made items and buying some Christmas gifts. After about an hour
of oohing and awing over the beautiful things we started talking about having our booth. So this year we put in our application and are waiting to hear if we will have a space this December. These are some of the items we will have at our booth.
This adorable bear is made from upholstery samples I got from the local furniture store. He is so cute. I plan on having several of these little guys as well as some other adorable animals.



Courtney is an artist friend of mine who will also be showing some work at the fair. Her art is amazing. Here are a few of her creations that will be available.




Becca is best known for her knitting enthusiasm but she also enjoys re-purposing tshirts. She makes necklaces, scarves and many other items. I'm sure her items will draw a big audience.



Bailey makes beautiful birds nest necklaces. The necklaces are delicate and subtly reminiscent of the beauty of nature.



Liz, like, Becca, also likes re-purposing everyday materials into something special. Her lamp bottles and record bowls are practical as well as artistic.

Stuff I've been working on

This bear is too cute. I got the pattern from a book called One Yard Wunders. The book is full of great ideas for home organizing, kids clothes, toys and purses. I made this little guy in one day and with less than one yard of fabric. Pretty cute for such a sad bear.
