Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

I have made many crayon rolls over the past couples of years. While there is something to be said for making the same pattern over and over, in the end, you are making the same pattern over and over. In an effort to spice things up around here, I started to change things up a little bit.

Here is one of my original crayon rolls:

Here is a crayon roll I recently made. It is almost the same, but I decided to add some ric-rac trim. (You know I love me some ric-rac.)

Then I decided to try the ric-rac with some beautiful fall fabrics.

And since Little Peachy has her own crayons now, I decided to make a special roll to accommodate her bigger washable crayons.

And finally, why limit the fun to only crayons? Here is a roll I made for colored pencils.

I am sure these will not be the last of my roll creations, after all, I am on a roll. :)
All of these rolls are currently for sale at my Etsy shop.

My Big Debut

The MOMS Club that I am a member of hosted a Holiday Showcase and Rummage sale this weekend. Members were able to bring their rummage to be sold as well as items that they sell. There was a Pampered Chef Booth, a Tastefully Simple Booth, a Shakely Booth, and various handcrafted items. I had grand plans of what I could all make and sell. But I learned that you need quadruple the time to get projects done once you have a little one to care for. I was able to get a few items together for the sale. I was out the door by 7:45 a.m. Saturday. (M was able to stay home and care for Peachy. Believe it or not, this was the longest time that I spent away from her. I was glad that I could leave her in her father's capable hands.) When I returned home around 2:30, I had lighter bins and some extra cash. For the first time selling my wares, I was pretty happy.

I decorated 20 onsies. 10 were for boys with ties and suspenders and 10 were for girls with flowers and birds. (Sorry that I can't get the birds to fly straight.)

I had some small ($7) and some large taggie blankets ($12) on hand. (I also had some burp clothes in my gift bin that I sold for $2/piece.)

I also whipped up some crayon rolls. (They were finished at 11 p.m. Friday night with the help of M.) They sold for $5/piece.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the items that I have left over, please leave a comment with your email address and we can work out the details.
