The Beehive Bazaar—December 2009

For the Beehive Bazaar at the beginning of December I made candy rings, some papier mache, and some felt hair clips and felt flower pins. I had several other projects in the works, but didn't finish them in time, including the paper dolls (there was a big mishap by the place that did some laminating for me...kinda ruined most of the project). It was fun to share a booth space with Josh's cousins, Briana, Tess and Candice! They had lovely things and delicious treats to sell.

Felt Crafties

I've been making little felt flowers and attaching them to pins, hair elastics and the like. I'm trying to use up scraps left over from the felt Christmas crafts I did in November.

My mom and sister have been crafting away as well making quite a number of little lovelies. Here are just a few of the first ones we made.

Felt Gingerbread House toys

For the December 2008 Beehive Bazaar I made some felt gingerbread houses and felt Christmas trees. They are quiet toys for kids (or adults!). I always loved playing with flannel boards when I was a kid and really wanted some cute toys like that for our collection. They double as darling decorations —wow, I use a lot of alliteration— for the Christmas season. A not-so-sticky version of the traditional cookie and candy creations.

Crafties

Here are some paintings I've been working on and the beginning of a papier mache deer I sold at the Beehive Bazaar. Sadly, I never got good pics of the finished deer.

Pebble Pets — turtle and dog

These Pebble Pets are some I created when I taught a mid-week Young Women's class for church several years ago. They are fairly small, maybe 2.5" tall at the most. Don't mind the plastic bird from the Cinderella Polly Pocket set (you couldn't even tell what it was, could you?) in the center of the photo.
