The director of the daycare my friend Jill & I use has agreed to hold a little craft fair in November. This will be the first time either of us have ever tackled anything like this but I’m hoping that it works out so we can maybe do another next year.
We decided to keep things as inexpensive as possible and geared towards little gifts that people can buy for the holidays. I made a start last night and this is what I have come up with so far. These magnets are just so easy to make. Some are for the fair and some are gifts for Steve’s aunt. She loves animals and I know that these will be perfect for her.

After that, I started making some tea bag holders. I am going to make a few different fall designs to hold yummy Pumpkin Spice tea bags (Stash Tea) and then some winter designs for the Holiday Chai Spice tea bags (Stash Tea). So far, I have come up with these two designs. The first has a velcro fastener, the second is tied with linen thread.
