Purse and runner finishes

Today I deliver to the first craft show of the season.  This one opens this Friday and runs nine days straight.  I work a three hour shift the first day and another the last day.  After collecting my leftovers I will re inventory and drop off at another show 3 days later!  

So I have been scurrying about gathering up table runners, purses and sweaters that are done and finishing up a few things that have been in the progress for a while.  Last weekend these purses got their final touches.  These are ones I designed with 3 pockets outside and 8 inside.  My local ladies sure like the dark colors-well it is fall after all.   Sorry but no I haven't written a pattern for them.  But I do have some purses for sale in my Etsy shop (with all the details about them). 


 The weekend wasn't all about work though, DH and I had Sunday afternoon with the grandsons.  The oldest and I are hard at work making spider webs and spiders.  That extruder made fast work of the web strings!

Monday I finished up a couple more of my Falling For You runners


 Meeting up with a gal today that wanted one of these, she wasn't sure which one.   After dropping off at the craft show I will hurry home and finish a few more things to take with me Friday when I work.

Right now I have a nice pile of things to take to this show, but after this show I have to divide whats left as I have 2 shows that overlap!  I have had this schedule for several years and I just do what I can:)

Linking with Susan , Brooke and Lorna

  2. Look at all those lovely things you've been making! The Play Dough picture brought back a lot of fond memories, too. It's been a long time since we had Play Dough all over my kitchen table but I remember it well!

  3. Wow do you even have room to store them all before the show? Love your bags too. You should write a pattern for it. You know I would be happy to test it for you! Take a breather now that the show is about to start.

  9. Hi Vicki! Hmm, I think I just might take the easy way out on a purse for my sister-in-law. I'm going to send your link to Sue and see what she thinks about not actually making one ourselves. Good luck with the sale - I know you will sell all of your stuff. Happy Thursday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
