The Things I Do To Make A Buck...


I am a huge sports fan... I love all things Tennessee and Auburn...and Duke basketball. Why I bought crimson fabric with Elephants all over it I have no idea. But I know many Alabama fans and met a lot at the craft shows. So I decided to put that fabric to use.

I didn't go blind and I don't think my machine broke. I've had several hits on it on my eCRATER site. No buyer yet though. I have made 2 so far. I guess I'll make a few more. I have Auburn and Tennessee fabric too.... don't worry!

NOTICE!!! I have a link to my eCrater Store to the right!!! Check it out!

Well I made it through the craft fairs with dismal sales but I did sell things at all of them. I got lots of, "That's so cute!" and "You do great work!" That doesn't buy me more fabric and notions though now does it?! I have also decided to make mostly boy items for next year since that is what I mostly did sell. Thankfully there were four of us at the last two or I wouldn't have made back my booth fee! Thank you Dad, Lorraine, and Cathy! I sold more at the hospital's craft fair taking orders for embroidering burp cloths.

I did get my sewing machine back finally. I got a call on the day it was supposed to be ready and they said there was a part broken and it would be another week. I had no choice! The part that was broken is what was making my bobbin go wacky. It has been great since I got it back.... EXCEPT for when I do smaller lettering, the bobbin still comes to the top a little. Here is one of my post fixin' embroideries...
I have done a few more too. I am currently working on some University of Alabama burp cloths. It hurts my feelings to do them but I'm muddling through it! I may be so brave as to do some Florida and LSU ones too. Of course Auburn and Tennessee ones are coming!

I want to get to some quilt designing but that will have to wait till the new year I guess. I have Christmas presents to think about the next few weeks!
