Vegetables, Honey Chicken, Cat

Potluck Sunday!  Donna made an amazing Moroccan stew with cinnamon and allspice.  I made little blueberry hand pies that I forgot to photograph.  

Red cabbage is here!  I cooked some red cabbage, kale, mushroom and tofu and served it over Israeli cous cous.  Cooking is exciting with all these vegetables growing around me.  There are so many options and I am getting better and better at throwing things together on a whim!

Conquering the 4th page of my chicken book.  This is the page were I introduce Honey.  It was very difficult to figure out how to cut out the arms wrapped around Honey so I have been putting it off by reading instead.  But today I decided I'd had enough and needed to get the 4th page going.

For this one I drew the image out then cut out the separate pieces of paper for different fabrics.  Very much like a puzzle.

Sexy Crook.  He knows I am infatuated with him.  But he pretends he does not care. (He loves me)

Etsy!

I finally made an Etsy account! It took forever but here it is.

Magnets for The Glenwood Sunday Winter Art and Craft Market

Here are some of the magnets I made to sell at the Glenwood Sunday Winter Art and Craft Market tomorrow from 9am-2pm at The Glenwood Bar, 6962 N. Glenwood Ave. Now I have to get back to finishing up the earrings!

Pins for The Glenwood Sunday Winter Art and Craft Market

edit April 10th, 2012: I now have an Etsy account if you would like to check it out here!

I made 50 pins so far for the Craft Market this Sunday alongside the Farmer's Market. I still have magnets and earrings to do so I don't know why I am blogging right now. :0 )

Carrot Earrings!

I am definitely keeping busy these days! This Sunday I am volunteering all day at the Roger's Park, Glenwood Sunday Winter Market. I will be helping set up, greet, work the pay station, and closing the market. I can't wait to see how the market operates throughout the day.

On December 10th and 11th the market is going to have a Winter Artisan/Craft Market alongside the farmer's market. I spent the entire day making earrings, magnets, and pins to apply. Whether I am accepted or not I am happy with the results of what I have created and maybe with the leftovers I will make that Etsy account I have always dreamed of.

Here are some carrot earrings. I figure I will sell the earrings for $2. They are made of fabric, paper, string, and homemade wheat flour glue.

Tiny brussel sprout earrings.

Corn and Spinach magnets! for a $1

Chicken and cabbage pins for a $1

If accepted, I will make much more varieties.

And when someone buys one of my items they get this little bag with the front of my business card on the front and back of the business card sewn on the back.

Don't forget to come out to the stone soup at Columbia College Chicago, Conaway Center, 1104 S. Wabash from 6pm to 9pm, Wednesday, November 16th! here is a link to the event invite on Facebook with more information.
