What’s On My Crafting Table Today……….

Hello Little Peanuts. If you are new here WELCOME! If you’ve been around awhile you know that I am a bit (pfttttt A LOT) of a procrastinator. I tend to wait until the last minute to finish things. This year I need to be crafting year around.

For instance, the Christmas Craft Fair here in Sandpoint Idaho, I decided a week before the fair started to dip my toe in. I made a dozen Christmas themed t-shirts. I had always made t-shirts for family and friends.  Mostly Granddaughter Alice. She cried UNCLE! No more t-shirts!!

I really didn’t expect any of the shirts to sell. Not only did they sell, but, I sold ALL my T-shirts in the first week. WHAT?!?! I was giddy. I sold STUFF!!! So, now?? NOW, I plan to really make an effort. I also know I don’t want to wait until October to start. I need to have plenty of stock ready to sell. I am trying to create 5 t-shirts a month. 5 mugs. 5 tumblers. Then a few miscellaneous stocking stuffers; like earrings, key rings, coasters, Chapstick holders, and stickers. That will fill up my entire booth. (Actually, not so much a booth as much as it’s a tabletop area).

Crafting Costs

I’m trying my hardest to not overspend on craft supplies. Crafters know what I mean. I have more vinyl than I could possibly use in my lifetime. Remember earlier this year I decided to clean and reorganize the craftroom??

OHHHHHMYYYYYGGGOOOOOOSSHHHHHHH the number of T-shirts that I found in different drawers and cupboards was INSANE! Good news, don’t have to buy any for the fair. I have an EMBARRASSING supply of t-shirts. (Just embarrassing) Good thing is that I have all different sizes. So, yeah me?? (GESH! I have GOT to start writing stuff down!!)

The only think I am certain I need to order is a way to display my tumblers and mugs I wanted acrylic risers. Those babies aren’t cheap! I need something to display the earrings, again, NOT CHEAP!! This is where  came in! Check it OUT!! .99¢  YES, you read that correctly. NINETY-NINE CENTS!!! For the acrylic risers I wanted. AND .99¢ for the earring display stand! Talk about an amazing sale!!
