Busy as a Bee

 

My summer has been full of garage sales, decluttering, writing poetry, getting a new privacy fence, replacing appliances and electronics (out of necessity) and planning a trip to meet up with my sis-in-law and her spouse. In addition to that I just signed up for a craft fair and have been swamped with projects in preparation for that. The event is one week after vacay, and I want to be completely ready, down to packing, monies, layout, pricing, inventory, etc. And I'm one tiny step away from being ready. I just did a mock-up of my Halloween craft display and it looks good. Next is my Christmas display. I'm taking photos so I know where things go once I can set up...

So in celebration of my organization and focus, I took a break and crafted a few items that are not on my craft fair inventory list. Above is the wall decor I made for my daughter. Her emotional support dog, Honeycomb, is her love, and now she has a piece of artwork to remind her. I bought a grab bag of crafty leftovers and was able to come up with this sign. The piece of wood is from my garage. I used Tim Holtz Distress Stain to make it dark before adhering the banner flags and the honey bees. A quick, simple project (I love those).

What's on your calendar? I'm still decluttering and organizing. I'm still in the dark tunnel of too much stuff, but I can see light peeking though the piles of stuff I still need to find homes for. I wanted to be finished by Christmas but I don't think I'll make it. Ah, well, I can add it to my New Year's Resolutions for 2025!? LOL

Wonderful sign in honor of Honeycomb. I especially like the bees. Hope you have a great time at your craft fair!
