Busy week

The lady from the sewing machine repair shop called me this week with the news that it would still be two more weeks until my machine is ready! Usually they over-estimate how long a repair will take, but this time it will be over three weeks before it is functioning! Yikes! So i have been busy all week cranking out items for the upcoming sale without the use of my sewing machine. I think i have done pretty well, considering i have never done any work with paper previous to this. I just hope my late nights this week pay off. I usually know that my purses will sell, but this is new territory for me. I have no idea if they will sell, or how many i should make..... I haven't been to this sale for years so i don't even know what kind of crowd i am trying to appeal to. Here are a few pictures of the items i have worked on this week.

I found all these great papers at a local art store. They are actually designer wrapping paper.

Funky retro-style mobile. There are some vintage drink recipes from an old "Joy of Cooking" cookbook on some of the birds! Have you ever heard of a "Scarlet O'hara?

I saw a bunch of cool clipboards in the office section at Target last week, so i thought i would try and make some of my own. In this picture they are drying after their 5th coat of polyurethane.

I had some extra picture frames that didn't have a home yet, so i thought i would give these a shot too. We will see how they do!
