Sorry about all these test posts!

I guess I can't post directly from my pictureshow app. No problem! I'll just post those photos from the blogger app! I hope you like my picture.

HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview: Housewares

Today's HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview is all about housewares.

This handmade box is from Woodchuck's Wood.  This shop has some really neat items!  He has boxes, vases, trivets, and a gorgeous earring holder

My Little Chickadee has a shop full of beautiful items made with tiles.  These coasters caught my eye because it's spring and time to tune up my bike!  This shop has magnets, coasters, trivets, and ornaments.  She has custom orders for wedding items, too.

.
Rose and Vinnie bring you housewares made with fabric.  This pillow is particularly beautiful.  They also have fabric-covered bulletin boards which I'm looking forward to seeing in person.

Come check out these three artists as well as approximately 45 other Minnesota artists at the HandmadeMN Spring Market on May 5th at the Balentine VFW in Minnespolis.

Home alone

I have the morning home alone so decided to cover the table with craft supplies. I am working on some new necklaces for the HandmadeMN Spring Market. Hope your day is going well!

HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview: Anchored Hope

Today's installment of the HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview is all about Anchored Hope.

The hair accessories in Anchored Hope's shop are really beautiful.

Anchored Hope also has reusable sandwich bags.  They are lined and waterproof!

This owl is the sweetest toy for kids!

HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview: Bette Jane Shop and Beatific Bijoux

Today's installment of the HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview features two jewelry makers.

Etsy is a great place to find jewelry but there's nothing quite like actually holding the jewelry in your hand and meeting the person who designed and made the piece.  The gorgeous necklace in the first picture comes from Beatific Bijoux.  Isn't it gorgeous?!  This seller designs really cool and intricate beaded pieces.

The necklaces in these last two pictures are from Bette Jane Shop.  This seller has a wide range of items.  Some are simple and some are quite intricate.  She also has really pretty headbands!

HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview: Florence Oliver

In the run up to the HandmadeMN Spring Market I will be posting some of my favorites from the crafters who will be vending at the show.  I'm so excited to do this show (I should keep count of how many times I've said that).  It's the first craft fair I've ever done and I'm looking forward to the experience.  After looking through the amazing vendors who will be there with me, I'm even more excited! 

This installment of the HandmadeMN Spring Market Preview is all about Florence Oliver.  She makes beautiful little pouches like the two here. 

This little bag is so snazzy!  I love the gold and blue combination.

And the lace on this bag is right on trend.  I'd love to add some lace into my wardrobe but I'm not really a lace kind of gal.  A little lace on a tiny pouch would be just perfect for me.

Florence Oliver also makes hats!  Come see Florence Oliver and lots of other Minnesota artists at the HandmadeMN Spring Market on May 5th at the Balentine VFW in Minnespolis.

HandmadeMN Spring Market

Look at the cute flyer to promote the HandmadeMN Spring Market.  This will be my first time vending at a craft fair and I'm really excited.  My sister and I will be sharing a booth.  Come by and see us!

March Challenge

Hi all!  I entered the HandmadeMN March Challenge again this month.  This month's theme was "Firsts".  This is the necklace I entered.  It's made with some art yarn (the first art yarn I ever made) a silver plated bead and a delicate necklace chain.

Vote for my necklace on the Handmade MN blog.  Go check out the entire blog.  There's also a weekly giveaway!

This necklace, and many others, are for sale in my shop, Kibbles 'N Knits.

Handmade Ryan Gosling

I love the blog Handmade Ryan Gosling.  It is hilarious!  My husband also loves it.  Today, he walked into our room holding my newest issue of Spin-off magazine and said this exact thing.  I couldn't help myself.  I had to make one of my own.

Treasury (that's my necklace!)
