November's Craft Fair

 Just a few photos of our tables at the annual Italian Heritage Center's Craft and Food Sale in Portland Maine. This was Sisters' Designs 7th year and it was indeed a success! My sisters and I want to thank everyone that came! We met some lovely people and they had such great comments for us. It is always such a fun event and we enjoy doing it. We have one more craft fair this year which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Gorham, Maine at the Summit Church 10-3pm.  It's time to start your Christmas shopping! 

Happy. Halloween Eve!

I did some decorating for Halloween but I was conservative.  Boy in our town some people for gone crazy with some great decorations. But I love my favors that I made for our trick or treaters which were pretty easy to make.

Witches shoes made from paper towel holders. Love how they came out! I had a die for the a box that I made for our trick or treaters because it held more candy. 

We don't have a lot of children at our door because we live in a small neighborhood but I have fun making these cute favors for them.  Also I made a fun centerpiece for our craft fair with corks, a PUMPKIN! I hope it sells!

Thanks for stopping by. Always having fun making crafts. 

Kinusaiga

 This is my second Kinusaiga that I have done. I am thinking the more you do the better you get at it. I still have to frame this one but I like the way it came out. I might add "Merry Christmas" to the lower right corner but I am still thinking on that. If you want to try it just go to youtube and there are plenty of tutorials there to show you how to do it. It is also called Fabric Art. 

I made this advent calendar last year and it will be at our craft fair in November. It hangs on the wall and it is made with fence pickets and I painted the pickets with a hint of green.  I then added clothes pins to hang the little stockings for the gift/candy. I thought it came out pretty cool. 

King of the Grill Birthday

 Making a Z-fold card for a friend's birthday with the theme grilling was fun to do! Donald did a great job grilling for us a couple of weeks ago so I thought what a great idea for his birthday card! The grill was from my Cricut and the utensils were from Stampin up.  

Kinusaiga is a new craft that my sisters and I have been doing. It is much like Kimekoni only it is on flat foam board. It is sometimes call Fabric Wall Art. Here is the one that I just finished the other day which is pictured below...

Choir Singer

My sister gave me this book folded choir singer to decorate. She did the book folding and lace on the bottom and the snowflakes background. I added the arms, hymn book, crown and hair (Ilove the hair).  This choir singer will definitely be at our craft fair this November. 

Another project that I made for our yearly get together with friends that I attended Greely High School, are these patriotic pinwheels. Our host wanted a patriotic theme because it is our country's 250th Anniversary.  The centerpiece is a 1776 mug that was given to me so I just added some stars and more pinwheels. The tablecloth was perfect! We had a couple of girls that couldn't attend but here we are before the Nor'easter hit our region. Zara photobombed our photo! 

 

Fall is here!

Just across the street from our house! So beautiful! Loving the colors of autumn. The cold weather has arrived too! As they say, it is "sweater weather"!

Love this style card! Found it on Pinterest and had to make it for my daughter-in-law's birthday which was yesterday. The paper is from Graphic 45.  Another card to showcase is for my sister and her husband's anniversary! 

Again I used the same Graphic 45 collection which I think is called Curiousity. So pretty! Happy 21st Anniversary! 

Same Birthdays!

 My daughter's birthday was this past week and she is a reader! She puts on Instagram her monthly books that she has read. I love this card for her and she was very impressed.  It is an easel style card which gives you enough space for the image.  The back of the card gives you some room but not a lot for the sentiment but it can be put inside the card.

Also, I made a card for a very good friend who has a birthday the same day as my daughter.  She has told me she has been having problems with groundhogs, possums  but she has never seen a racoon yet. The card below is for her birthday which says everything.  I thought it was so appropriate for her!! 

Again the sentiment is on the other side of the card which is a small area but it is doable!  She got a kick out of it.  Happy Birthdays Girls!
