This time of year is frantically busy at our house with preparing for a bevy of craft sales. I have been rushing to complete the latest crop of ruffled scarves - which sell almost as quickly as I can make them - plus a couple of batches of blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry and peach jam. I also made some extra regular and peach/mango salsa to add to the table at a couple of the upcoming sales.
The dog treats (7 varieties this year!) are done and frozen and I have some really cute 'takeout container' type packaging. They will be sold in Snack Pax of 4 for $3; Treat a Day Packs at 7 for $5) and Max Pax (12 for $10). I am really happy with how they turned out, and Charlie is enjoying full benefits :)
I did add a few designer scarves to the mix, at the request of friends.
There are old favorite glycerin/shea butter soaps and 4 yummy new varieties, too, to add to the mix.
The doilies turned out very well and blocking just improved the appearance. There must be close to a dozen totally different types of 'vintage' patterns. I even decorated a couple of little wooden bird houses.
The fabric flower angels are just the cutest things and I just completed some 'ribbon angels' that I will find hard to let go.
Just a few examples of doilies. 
My mason jar "Fairy Gardens" and votive candle holders look beautiful and I can't wait to display them.
Still working on a couple of willow wreaths in fall colors (since everything else is for Christmas), some crocheted puffy owls, more little 3D Christmas decorations and some vintage crocheted ball ornaments.
Busy? You could say that!
My booth will be at Decadence in the Desert - Second Saturday - at Ethel M Chocolates Cactus Garden on Saturday, October 15th. Yes, it is the third Saturday this month because of the grand opening of our NEW Chocolate Shop! After that I will be at a friend's sale on the 22nd of October and hopefully at Decadence in November as well. I also have a sale at Heritage Park Senior Center on Friday, December 9th. I am working on registering for other sales as well. Excitement reigns! Hope to cya there!
