[my table at the craft fair] Participating as a vendor at a craft fair has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. And now I have. And I will do it again. Some details: + I had a 10′ by 10′ space. We paid the rental fee for the tables and chair which [...] Things have been crazy around here! But good crazy. See that art room? Yikes. I’m getting my table set-up figured out for the craft fair this weekend – I think I’m almost done. We are excited for a visit from my brother and sister-in-law who come tomorrow. But since the art room is also the guest room, [...] A month or so ago, some friends of ours moved away from Texas. For their going away party, Kathleen had the brilliant idea of having a guest book there for everyone to sign. Great idea. So I came up with this guest book. I found this great blue and white fabric for the cover. The guest [...] I’m embarrassed that I have not yet blogged about my book press. Chris made this. For me. For Christmas. Yeah. I know. Amazing, right?! It was the best Christmas present ever. Up until then, I had been using piles of books as a press. Ghetto – but it worked. Thank you, Chris. You are the BEST! (ps – He followed THIS [...] Hi. Remember how I used to blog? Well, I’m ready to do that again. At the last minute, I decided to be a vendor at the July Jubilee in College Station so I’m working around the clock getting ready. This is my first official craft fair – I’m excited to give it a try. [...] So, they say there is a first time for everything. In April, I had a first: a funeral guest book. About a month ago Chris’ grandmother passed away. I made a special guest book for the family to use at the viewing and funeral service. Grandma’s favorite color was pink so I used a pink silk for [...] Here’s another recent handmade guest book I made. The bride, Jill, wanted a gold cover. This was a first for me, but I found the perfect golden silk without much trouble. Beautiful, don’t you think? The guest book is bound with the oatmeal waxed linen thread. Inside, the endsheets were golden with a white damask-type [...] I really enjoy making wedding guest books.
Kristina’s wedding colors were purple and green. Since purple was more favorite than green, that’s what I went with for the cover. I found a beautiful lavender silk for the front and back covers. Frankfurt paper is on the inside (my favorite!). The endsheets were white with [...] I just finished and shipped off this guest book for Mitchell College. They are hosting an author reception soon and commissioned this guest book for the event. The covers are navy linen and bound together with white waxed linen thread. I used the same paper I use in my wedding guest books: Frankfurt white. It [...] Things have been pretty busy around here because someone at my house had a birthday! I’ll have all kinds of details about that soon. In honor of my 100th post I’m having a giveaway. Click here to enter the giveaway by leaving a comment. The winner will be sent a surprise package from the studio. You [...] |
