i've been making a lot of little needle books and tape measure covers lately. they make cute gifts and i can do them easily while i am otherwise immobilized by this crawling baby. while she learns to get around, i learn to sit still with her and do not much of anything! you should see the house, gah, what a mess.

oops, i forgot to add them all! i found 4 more, go and look again.

i am thinking a fruit and veggie series next but i better start a mass give away or try selling them before i am overrun with needle books. i mean, i can only really use one or two of them myself!

added some more, the red and white polka dots are my favourite grinning smiley

guys, you could tell me what you think you know... i appreciate the feed back.
do you think i could sell them? if so for how much? they each take at least an hour.

thanks! do you think arts and crafts qualify as art? some of it sure is interesting to look at!

i made more today, i just can't stop. i'm confined to the area my small one can safely traverse as there is no staying still for her now so i'm happy to have something to do with my hands.

I really like them, very cool smiling smiley You could try selling them, don't know much about prices, but try it out and see what the market says.

Cheers,

coco -- I love all your crafts -- especially the fly needlecase and the doll that looks like you. Do you draw or paint, also?

This is what I would do if I were you -- I'd sell all my stuff at fairs. You could probably take your children with you, and it's fun, you get to meet a lot of people.

I used do pressed-flower craft, and sell my stuff at fairs and I'd make anywhere from $50 to a few hundred dollars. Sometime you just pay for the space and sometimes they just take a commission of your sales.

that would be fun, especially if i could share a booth with another mama and we could help eachother with the kiddies.

i don't draw very well but i do paint, there is one of sun and mountains in those photos.

thanks for the compliments guys, so far the average price that's being suggested in between 10-12$ and that is pretty fair. i have so many other things that i make too, selling at a craft fair would be a blast!

What about selling them at a booth in your local mall? (In addition to the fairs.)
