Saturday fundraiser fair

There's another fair coming up. Another chance for me to get some sales, sadly I haven't made anything new for it. My sewing machine broke on monday while finishing up an order. I missed the fix it men at my local quilt shop Wednesday and just got my machine fixed and returned home after 6 pm yesturday. The guys happily fixed/adjusted the tension in the shop for me yesterday. The price was 1 sewing needle. They didn't know if it was old, so they tossed it. It was perfectly new, but eh I'm just happy my machine is fixed. Needless to say, no sewing was done when I got home -I got side tracked again. To make up for my laziness, err lack of sewing (due to my broken machine) my goal for today is to

* Complete Photo trade order
*Mail off FFS tissue cozy
*Cut & prep 3 aprons -two for order on saturday.
*Sew 1 yellow pixie purse.
*List 3 new items in my etsy shop.

SYG update -cake is served!

So, here's my SYG update. The selling part went, oookay. I asked that I could sell everything with the best of good. I ended up selling 2 items, which turned out awesome after all, because it made up what I paid for my table and dinner. No money lost. BTW Ladies, those dinners were great!

1st Prize winner was this 2 tier wedding cake.

Isn't it beautiful, the flowers are edible! Moving on, the girls poetry and singing was muntaz (good). They all had very beautiful voices -even though I have no idea what they were saying, lol. It's sad that I don't speak arabic by now, maasha'Allaah.

The cakes! On to the other cakes, who ever made this cake with the pink floweres - it was beautiful as well as absolutely tasty. I wish I brought home seconds or had enough money that when they raffled them off I could have bought it. I guess it's a good thing I didn't do either or I'd be 4lbs heavier with a major sugar headache.

I'm getting sugar cravings just looking at it again,lol. Others will be posted in seperately.

Crochet taco yummys.

My 1st custom order crochet order. Sorry it took so long K. I've been so overwhelmed recently, but this was well work the many 'froggings' I had to do to get the tray correct. I ran out of yarn so, I couldn't form a box. Your tray(s) are nice and soft - I couldn't find any liquid startch to stiffen it. Here's your crochet Taco kit in all it's glory. The only thing missing is the guacamole. Hope you love it K.

Items are crocheted with acrylic & wool blended yarns. To clean your set: please wash on cold, gentle cycle and let air dry.
