CRAFT SALES are soon to be here.

When you like to craft, quilt, painting, arrange flowers, make candies of all kinds, spice packages, Pepper jellies, making candles, Horse shoe Art, embroider items or Aromatherapy bath products. Next comes selling them, and yes it is that time again for the
MIRROR LAKE CRAFT SALE NOVEMBER 7th from 8-4.
We will have 11 crafters with all over different styles and a large variety.

As time draws closer I have gathered my crafts and gifts. To see what all I have and to see what all I have to get done before the sale. These are some pictures of my crafts only. I am on the Primitive side I like taking older things and give them a new purpose.
But it keeps the old alive. This is an old Rod Iron type basket left primitive in color. Filled with large Vanilla candle greenery with purples and silver along with a little frosted glitter to look like snow.
Could you find a place for this?

The antique oil lamp has been converted to a small electric candle in the OLD oil lamp. The bird is signing in the cage and chalk boards are ready for messages.



The black old lantern has been arranged for a center piece on a table. It has a little tee lite in the center and no cord. The bottom is removable for a year around arrangement. The Silver old lantern has a flicker electric candle and red berries. I have several wood Snowman and Santa's, a few large rusty bells. Little wood buckets and rusty scoops filled with greenery and candles. These again are only my crafts there will be much, much more that day.
Stop in and see us we'll be here!!

Need a Crafting Weekend Retreat?

Pam and Linda discuss what their next move is. Their years of experience has taught them discuss before your cut. Vickie doesn't iron anything except material that has to do with quilting.
Teri worked very hard on her mystery quilt. All of this was put together in one night!!

Julie cuts many pieces with accuracy. And then sew all the pieces together later.


Teri lives in a house FULL of guys and they think this quilt top is to much girl for their master bed room. I told her a little pink is good for everyone. Teri put this all together in one weekend too. Vickie put together 2 quilt tops in one weekend. She was a sewin' gal !!




Vickie, Linda, Julie, Pam, Alice, and Teri all look pretty good at Sunday morning's breakfast. Remember they quilted till 2:00a.m. Now Sunday we will see what they get done. Really they all got a lot accomplished. Hope to see them again.
I just read a letter from the LaGrange Co. CVB and there is a Quilt Festival in Shipshewana on June 23- 26. This also runs in conjunction with the Topeka Quilt Show and Sale. Book your room here early!!



Sometimes you just need a weekend away to do the things you love. Like quilt, scrapbook, stamp, knit or any other craft you enjoy. You bring friends that enjoy the same craft and work all weekend on your favorite hobby. You enjoy 2 nights away, 2 FARM full breakfasts, Pizza and snacks for dinner and many hours to work. With 4 six foot tables and plenty of room to work in. When they scrapbook one brings a Cricket and they all use it. Some get a lot of pages done other get only a few fancy pages done. When quilting some work on their own quilting projects. Others bring sewing machines and some do hand work. But at the end of the weekend many hours have been put in and much has been accomplished!!
