Pinners truly are winners!

What fun we had selling our scrapbooking templates and paper at the Utah Pinners Conference.  Quilters loved the templates too.    There were over 300 vendors and most of them were not crafty items . I was surprised to see so many boutiques.    It was fun.  I made some hats and bags and still have some left so I will post them here . Free shipping.    

Here’s some pictures of the Utah Pinners conference. 

End of a amazing season.

Thank you to everyone that showed me so much support  this season at the Eagle Idaho Saturday market.    From the greenhouse grown plants to my handmade soaps and. Tinctures and teas and herbs everyone was so supportive. I’m grateful that I can make a humble living  doing what I love. So Thank you!  And with that....Well, its a wrap.  Seriously... food wraps that replace foil.  So much better for you.  The crowd at the farmers market loved them so I will be posting them her for sale here so you can get yours too.  

A lot of people are asking me where they can get my products since the farmers market has ended for the season so I said I would load my products here . I will do it forstbweek of November because I have just two weeks to prepare for two big events coming up and frankly, finding the time to sit at my computer for any long period of time is just not going to happen.   The Pinners conference in Utah is taking up my hours prepping for a  scrapbooking booth with Kiwi Lane Templates.   Winter is all about promoting my craft business by teaching classes.

New sizes for Food wraps.

I SOLD out .... so back into the kitchen I went. This time I made new sizes of food wraps to accommodate casserole dishes as well as a variety of bowl sizes.  Microbial, reusable and economical.    Message me for prices .  

Summer is almost over

Summer is almost over and since my husband and I work so very hard during the summer months we like to get away every once in awhile with the dogs and go camping in our camp trailer.   I do have a couple big events coming up in November that relate to my scrapbooking business so I need to make a bunch of samples to show people at the Pinners conference as well as the Idaho scrapbook show in Feb.  so , I pack up my templates, paper and pictures and sit outside on the picnic table and enjoy the sunshine and when it gets cold or windy I bring it inside and create inside the camper.  I love the versatility of kiwi Lane design templates and the fact that I can take them anywhere and still get creative.  And there’s something magical about being outside in the mountain air by the water that makes it nice.    No electricity needed .   If you’ve never used Kiwi Lane design templates and are curious... let me tell ya. It speeds up the design process when your creating scrapbooks of any size. It’s actually brought me back to wanting to make 12x 12 albums again.   Simply trace, cut, and ink . It’s that easy.   Here’s my website to check it out.  Http:/www.Create.Kiwilane.com/Mary 
 

New offerings at the Eagle Saturday Market.

It’s been a amazing year at the Eagle Saturday Market and It’s not over yet.  I’ve been listening to my customers and one thing that has been asked of me to make with my bees wax is food wraps.  Basically baked cotton fabric with bees wax will replace foil and plastic and help save the environment one wrap at a time.  Bye bye to toxic foil and plastic .
 Food wraps are reusable , safe and economical. 

I also will be offering our freshly harvested Local Honey and bees wax candles.  

 Yummy smells and tastes for your senses.  Our honey is raw .  Beneficial for you. 

I also will be selling my herbs and Tea blends  as we’ve been approved by the health department and are legal to sell now.  No chemicals .. only the good stuff! 

And of course my lucious Body Butter is lighter and fluffier than the last batch.   This time I added pure lavender oil tonit to add to the healing attributes and compliment the. Plantain, comfrey and calendula.  

Good for what ails the skin. 

Eagle Farmers Market

Hi everyone, I’ve been super busy and haven’t updated this for a while and for that I apologize.  My grandchildren came to visit, the garden and keeping the family busy with summer activities took over my life. They left this morning so now I had the time to sit and update a few things.  First being my blog.  The Eagle Idaho Farmers Market has been a wonderful blessing as far as selling my plants and my herbal items.  The Tinctures are working and everyone is loving my bath products.  So if your from Idaho and have stopped by my booth THANK YOU.  It’s very exciting when someone takes the time to let me know that my herbal recommendations worked.   Here’s a few pictures of what my booth looks like. 

Altered box for tinctures

As a Herbalist, nothing makes me happier than making plant medicine.  As a crafter, artist, nothing makes me happier than creating something.   This little piece took 4 weeks to complete and I learned this technique from a little lady living in the country in Ontario that was happy to teach me.   I took felt, gesso, paint and a few other ingredients and wham. Transformed a box into a beautiful carrier for my Tinctures and salves.  Love it and am thinking of my next project.   
 Inside holds my saves and tinctures

3-D  front  is “ day”

The other side is night

When the box is open... it reads ... I am a day dreamer( on the day side)  And a night thinker( on the night side) 

Not seen when open unfortunately, but I had nowhere else to place these words.Day is over, tonight has come. Today is gone. Embrace your dreams,as tomorrow comes with a whole new light. 

My set up at the Eagle Idaho Farmers Market.  The tincture box was a hit with many visitors. 

DRAFT PUBLISHED FROM A OLD POST THAT  DID NOT POST.  HAD TO SHARE EVEN IF IT IS OLD.

I love Collage, when I came across this paper mache dress form at a craft store, I thought to myself... I could do something fun with this... and It was on my birthday that I decided to make it about something I love.  This is my HOMAGE to GARDENING.   I love everything about gardening, the blooms the food, the butterflies... I love to grow anything.   After finishing this one, I decided that I need to make one about my love of chickens, sewing, family, etc... so Im on the hunt for more papermache dress forms.   Here is my HOMAGE to Gardening.. Happy 52nd Birthday to me.   Layers and layers and layers... it was so fun to make.
