Crafty Wonderland was a lot of fun yesterday, and it was lovely to meet some of you nice blog readers!

sarai, Colette Patterns booth

pin cushions

I did a little bit of crafting for the show, as I’d never done one before! To show the prices, I made these tiny silk and cotton pin cushions, and little flags with pearl head pins. You might also notice the “necklace” sign on the dress form (it says “make me”).

I could easily have spent all earnings on the gorgeous jewelry everywhere, such as my booth neighbor, kspell. Pretty!

I love the pincushion tags! Was the show successful for you? I love your patterns BTW. When I get some time for sewing, I’ll definitely be dipping my toe in.

The show was fun, I met lots of people and sold a fair number of patterns, but it was hard to sit still for that long!

Oh looks so fun! Your booth looks great :) I”m bummed that I was sick (nasty allergy stuff) and couldn’t come. Will you be doing it again next month?

From what I understand, the CW folks try to mix it up so the same vendors aren’t there two months in a row. I may go again in a couple months, we’ll see!
