Snowman Socks - All Dressed Up

Inspired by Then She Made, I first created these little guys...


But then I came across some teddy bear dress up accessories at the Dollar Store and made these guys...



My policeman and army man snowmen (sorry no noses here yet).

My rock out snowman!

My fireman snowman!

Aren't they adorable?  It was hard selling some of them as I got attached.  I just love snowmen!

Calendar Craft - I won't sell again!

I enjoyed making the desktop calendars and a lot of it did sell but not enough - which is crazy since I was only selling them for $3.00 each.  I sold them cheap because I wanted them to move but even at that cheap they all didn't sell.  I had a lot leftover so they became teacher and family presents.

These were larger sized calendars which I placed on blank coasters 
and had them held up by large binder clips.

These were mini calendars which I attached to a 
mini acrylic photo frame turned upside down.


I sold most of the calendars that were attached to the coasters, but the ones on the acrylic frames I probably only sold half of it.  It was my first (and last) year trying these out.  I've seen them around on the net before and fell in love with them.  I finally decided to make them but now realize these are only good for gift giving (in my area).  I can't really sell these at spring craft shows.  Too bad because I think they are really cute.

New Year - New Resolution

Happy New Year!  I can't believe it is now 2012.  Where did the time go?  My last post was back in September because I was slammed with one craft show after another.  I had a couple of shows that were a bust and others that were fantastic.  Here's a few pictures of my craft show set-up.















Hope you liked my set up.  I'm still working out some kinks as to my display.  I want something quick, easy, portable, and catchy.  This is one seemed to work out but to me didn't look too professional.  It looked more kiddish and so I'm thinking people won't take my work seriously and expect cheapy stuff - which a lot of my items were.  I want to change that.  Still brainstorming.  It doesn't help that I don't have a big car so I'm limited.

Anyway, besides getting healthier, one of my other resolutions for this new year is to post more often.  So until next time...
