Small little things !!:)

Thank you for your support and wishes on my last post ! I did well on my stall activity and sold more than I expected :)


I did not have accessories to display things and I did not want to invest on those either . I used the items at home and Raj made a notice board for me out of a photo frame . A stall was equivalent to a table , medium sized , good for me as I did not have too many things .

I made small crochet items for sale as I had only two weeks . Considering that it was a fun fair kind of thing and that residents will purchase just for fun so I made low-cost small items than costly large ones .

These are the things I made . I made 10-12 of each item . Anshita created and printed the packaging details for me and Raj helped pack those in zip bags .  Here are few samples .

Heart keychain . These were all sold out :) Free pattern here 

Crochet coasters , I made few earlier here

Crochet applique - a free pattern which I edited into smaller version .

Doll's accessories , these received lots of smiles and sold well too :) Made from my own pattern

Diwali diya hanging designed by me

Luggage/purse tag . These were all sold out too . Free pattern here

I also made beginner's cross stitch kits - four of the same design, will share picture in the next post. None purchased but people showed interest in knowing what it is . The good thing is that I learned to make a kit , otherwise , so far I have only designed charts .

I also kept some homemade chocolate packs for kids because I had all girly things on my stall .

Homemade chocolates - I just wrapped in foil, into a zip bag and tied a ribbon

These were the different shapes of chocolates that I made .

Dinosaurs and Robots

Assorted shapes

Assorted shapes - dark chocolate


It was a very nice experience and residents , both known and new , who visited my stall appreciated my work :) I did find a few who were interested or were into crafting but none who did crochet .

Life is busy again but I do remember about my challenge and I will be making 'Temari Balls' , a Japanese craft , in November . I had purchased a book long back , you can see how beautiful and intricate this art is in the pictures I posted here .

It was an overdose of crochet , first cushions then so many stall things , so last weekend I did some cross stitch which I will share in the next post :)

Hope you are having a great week !
Preeti :)

  13. Preeti, you had lovely items in your stall and I'm so glad you had good sales. I think you were smart to go for smaller items. The chocolates look delicious and I really like the shapes you did.

  14. Isn't it a great feeling when your items sell! :D My favorites are the beautiful flower appliques. They are stunning. It was nice of you to think of the ones not liking "girly things" (what's wrong with them :b) with the chocolates! Your molds are adorable, especially the little dinosaurs.

  15. I missed your last post and just went back to read it and appreciate the lovely gifts you made for your friends, and now am admiring the lovely things that you successfully sold! Yay! The one time I participated in a craft fair I did not sell anything, but I did have a great time and admired the work of others :) xx

  26. So good to read that your items and accessories were a success. Of course, you can never sell everything (how I have heard often from other crafters who also sell their crafts on fairs etc.) but it seems that you were doing really great.
