Craft season is here again and I'm getting ready! Which means lots of items to make and displays to create. This will be my second time going to the Krist Kindle Mart fair at Christ Community Church and I'm really excited. I have little girls and they love to play pretend. So I made some pretty red lipstick and a foundation compact to play with. Little girls can put these in their purse and pretend to be just like mommy! They come in lots of different colors and the makeup sets include a lipstick and a mirrored compact with face poof. I'll be posting more pictures of the items I'm going to bring. If you see something you like don't forget to contact the Studio for commissions. Be sure to stop by to see my table in November! This Christmas Craft Fair will be at: Christ Community Church Oasis Building 7801 E. Kenyon Drive 85710 Friday, November 21, 2:30 - 8:00 PM Saturday, November 22, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM "All are welcome to the Christmas Craft Fair! There will be a wide assortment of fun items sold by local Tucson crafters and vendors. For every purchase you make at a table you will get a ticket to enter for door prizes.
For my holiday plans this year I wanted to make a set of crochet Jesse Tree ornaments for Advent this year. Last Christmas I made just one of the twenty-five ornaments in an exchange I did with some of the other ladies at church. It was just a neat tradition to do with my daughter, who was one at the time, to each day hang up a new ornament and count them with her.
I was so disappointed when I searched for crochet reference pictures to not find any! I thought someone else would have thought of this too, so I might be blazing a new path. I'm definately going to make individual patterns and a complete set of them to put up once I complete my first set. If you've never celebrated Advent before I highly recommend it. I didn't know anything about it from my childhood tradtions, but its such a great way to count down the days to Christmas and teach the Bible to kids all at the same time. I turn into something of a kid myself during Christmas-time so I think I might have enjoyed it more than my daughter. Here's a list of the ornaments you make for a complete set. A great book for teaching about Advent is "The Advent Jesse Tree" it can be found online, Amazon & eBay both have good prices.
