One More Year Down at the Bilquist Bazaar.

I knew the bazaar was coming and I had many ideas rolling around in my head, but I never seemed to get to them. We had Super Thursday for Enrichment this year and they made these scrabble tile necklaces. I thought that would be easy to do (since I only had two weeks before the bazaar). So I sat down and started making them. I decided to do paper piecing with them. I had to take my glasses off and use tweezers to put them together, the necklaces are only a 1 inch circle. If you want to learn how to make them, here is a link to tutorial my friend Tiffany has on her cute blog, she is the one that taught the class at super Thursday.

I drove up with my friend Cathy to Portland, (I am so grateful for her driving through the snow for me). It was a lot fun to have her come up with me and meet some of my family, go to New Moon with my sister and me, and partying into the night. Serena and Cathy helped get the necklaces done in the nick of time (Friday night at 11 p.m.). And they were bagged and ready to go.

Here is a picture of the necklaces lined up ready to go.

I shared a table with my cousin Lisa. She sold her awesome monkeys. One lady even told Lisa that her daughter had decorated her daughter's bedroom around one of Lisa's monkeys. They are so cute. She sold out of her Batman monkeys.

Heidi at her table, right next to mine. She made these really cute doorstops out of landscape pavers. They were really cute, she does a great job with toll painting, I wish I had that talent. She also had a lot cute Christmas items.

Melissa was at the next table over and she sold reversible cape for kids, scrapbooks where you insert you own photos and some other cute items. She did really well with her capes they were a hot item.

It was a great weekend and so much fun being able to hang out with friends and family. I look forward to it every year. I just need to stay on top of it and not wait to the last minute to make the items so that I am not stressed.
