Bazaar-o

Bazaar season is upon us!!! Hooray! This year I decided to make something different than I have in year's past. Last year I didn't sell a lot, mostly because people would stop by my table and say, "Oh, that's so cute! I bought one from you last year!" So, yeah...time for new stuff!

I decided early on to make I Spy bags. They are quick, fun, and most people like them. Plus I can do an assembly line and just crank them out. I will save money by buying this supplies all year long and get them made early. HA! That's what I was telling myself! I have 15 I Spy bags downstairs all cut out and the stuff to go inside them is ready, but I tried sewing them and had a nervous breakdown when my sewing machine was having issues. So, those are on hold until I can get up the incentive to try again.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine gave me the idea to make a tutu for Rachel. So I think, I can totally make tutus!!! They are easy (although time-consuming) to make and all little girls love tutus! So now I am the proud owner of 24 yards of pink tulle, 18 yards of light blue and 24 yards of purple tulle. Have you ever tried to work with that much tulle at one time?? It is not a fun thing. I feel like all I do is cut tulle. All day long, and in increments that large, it seems to be never ending! It also doesn't help that Rachel likes to take it and "dance like a ballerina" all over the house. I swear Steve is gonna divorce me if he keeps finding strips of tulle everywhere!

My next dilemma...how do I display I Spy bags and tutus on the same table at the bazaar? They don't have anything in common at all. I never think these things though.
