crafty goodness

this year i decided to participate in handmade holidays. i am going to make gifts for those on our list, which means i need to clean up my space a little. in the spirit of handmade goodness, i visited a craft show this weekend sponsored by ice atlanta . i did find a couple of things for gifts, but i must admit, i bought a bit for myself as well. i even won the raffle and chose the subscription to craft.
i have admired sarah for a couple of years now, so i was honored to get to meet her at the show. i couldn't resist this little guy...

i also had to get this needle case from her (i tried to take a picture of it, but hers are much better).

i am also now a huge fan of emily and i purchased this print from her...

i also have my eye on a few others in her shop.
after being surrounded by fellow craftsters, i am feeling inspired, which is a good thing since i have so many things to make in the next month. i did make a few of these this weekend. rings or pony tail holders? you decide.
