Successful Craft Show

Last week I did my last craft show of the year. It went well. There were lots of customers and I sold a lot of my more inexpensive items, like the glass nail files and key finders. Customers that had bought one glass nail file at the previous show came back and bought several of them for gifts. Guess I’ll be making more next year.

My glass club is hosting a Beads Of Courage fundraiser next year in April. There will be a table for people to buy things. I want to make some affordable items and I’m thinking that the toad key chains will be a good seller. So, I’m back to making toads. Here are the first few:

I’ll be making them in all different colors so look for more in subsequent posts.

Key Finders and Toads

Getting the last things done before my last craft show of the season.  I needed to make more key finders since I sold all the ones I’d previously made.

And a few toad clippy keychains. This is a new item. Not sure how well they are going to sell. I think the toads are cute.

Another Toad Dangle

I didn’t get much done yesterday, it was flipping freezing in the garage last night. The only bead I got done was this toad that I made into a dangle.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

Pink Pen

I was going through my stash and found a few bead pens that I never put beads on. So, I made this set of pink beads. I think it works with the silver pen.

Hanging Toad

Well, of course, I couldn’t just leave the toads as beads. I had to make something out of them. So, I made one into a dangle with a clip. Can be used for a key chain,  purse dangle,  zipper pull or whatever.

Key Finders

I caught a bad cold this weekend so I haven’t been able to do a lot. I wanted to torch but didn’t feel up to it. I’ve been working on getting some key finders made and finally finished the last of what I have.

Skulls and Hair Sticks

I finally finished up the last of the hair sticks. Yeah!! Here’s the last two:

I also made some lavender skulls with crossbones for earrings.

So far, that’s it for this weekend. Must be slacking……

More Ado about Hair Sticks

Okay, these aren’t exactly hair sticks but beads I made to use with hair sticks. I’m running late this week and haven’t had time to assemble them.

Beads for the dangle hair sticks.

A few for toppers.
