Crafty Updates

Normally during this time of the year I'm not sewing much. I'm just packing up Etsy orders. However, this year I decided to sign up for a local Holiday Craft Show - the Sudbury Makers' Market. I'm looking forward to it since I haven't sold at a holiday show in years and I love the festive feeling that surrounds them. But this means I'm busy making some last minute things and re-stocking my kitty kickers.


I've also been keeping my Etsy shop updated. You can see some of my new items here:



I still have another 6 Christmas stockings to photograph and add to my shop, as well as a few more tote bags.

On top of all that, it looks like I might be selling my items in a local store here which is super exciting and very stressful since I've never had my products in a store before.

How's November going for you?

Holiday Makers' Market

This past weekend was the Holiday Makers' Market here in Hamilton. It was a wonderful day and there was definitely a festive vibe throughout the church. The traffic was really steady for most of the day and sales were great. I loved selling some of my geek pillowcases (Spider-man, TMNT, Batman) that I know will be Christmas gifts. And once again, my kitty kickers sold really well. I hope they made some kitties happy!

I was able to pick up a couple of Christmas gifts as well and it was nice seeing all the other talented vendors there.

It feels strange that this was my last show for 2012 and for a few months probably. Between August (Fan Expo) and December I always have a steady stream of craft shows so I always feel a little lost when my next show isn't for a few months. But in reality, I really need the time off to start building inventory for the upcoming comic conventions in 2012.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Last Show of the Year...


Tomorrow I will be at the Holiday Makers' Market. I've been doing this show for a few years now. It's so festive and fun. You're surrounded by stained glass windows and other talented crafters, some with beautiful handmade Christmas decorations. There's always a yummy bake sale table and someone playing pretty music.

It's the last show of the year. I can't believe 2012 is so close. I need to sit down and plan what shows I'm doing next year. It's so exciting and I love the fresh start!

Anyways, night!
