Overdue: Faire fare and Faith

It's been ages since I posted last....mostly due to a busy time readying for an upcoming small Faire locally.

Some items I've been working on are as follows.....

These ear cuffs are a lot of fun to make as well as wear.    Copper is easy to clean; just put it in lemon juice then take out and pour salt on it and rub with a clean cloth.

The tarnish comes off with little to no effort. (Use kitchen gloves due to the salt being so abrasive.)

 

These are project bags for knitting, crocheting, or handsewing.

 

 

I made one of these for myself as a money belt/purse for the Faire.  I liked it so much I've made several to sell.

 

 

Faith in all her cuteness

 

 

 

This is our sleeping arrangement.  Under the cloth (which is under her bed) there are potty pads.  She is really good about coming and going through the night.  She spends a lot of time going from her doughnut-bed to the folded flannel blanket at the foot of the bed. You can see she basically takes up half the bed, even though she is only seven pounds.  Sheesh....what doggy-love will do!
