When my Dad told us at the beginning of this month that we could participate in the Rosewood Handmade Craft Sale this year, we began to kick around ideas. Now, several weeks later we are starting to see the fruits of our labors and become very excited! I thought I would share some pictures of what we have been working on...
1. Anna crafted these delightful flower magnets from glue, magnets, scrapbooking paper, and her own imagination.
2. and 3. Bluebelle decided to make some cards and started with different colored squares glued down, before we cut out some things out for her. Then Mommy gave her the idea of making snowmen cards, and we ended up making a whole family. (We even invented our own terms: snowhim, snowher, and snowbaby.)
4. and 5. Since this summer, Pearl has been making crocheted bags for water bottles. Look at that row of bags!!
6. Paul has discovered what he can do with his scroll saw and Dremel--gift the world with amazing dollhouse furniture! He is currently working on cutting out chairs, staining another bed, and sewing linens for them all. Good job, Bro!
7. Aimee should be dubbed "The Earring Queen" with eleven gorgeous pairs of earrings. (Mom teases her by asking for almost every pair for Christmas.) : )
8. Anna's notebooks are coming along with more on the way. I love how each one is unique.
9. and 10. I've been enjoying making little girl's purses to sell. It's been so fun to dream up (or have Mom help dream up) each little one. : ) The pink one is actually a gift for one of my favorite little girls, but the purple one will be there. : )
11. And yes, there is crafting stuff everywhere and lots more products on their way including: silk flowers, paper flowers, Christmas cards, Christmas wreaths, and more of everything else I already mentioned.
One of the best parts about this has been seeing how some of the supplies we needed were already providentially here at home! It's been so much fun to work together, and I really must sign off now to go help out with some flowers that are waiting very patiently for me. Who else is coming to the craft sale? : )
Rosewood Handmade Craft Sale, Saturday, November 29th, 9am-5pm, at the Tigard Grange. (13770 SW Pacific Hwy., Tigard, OR 97223) : )
