and, some more crafting...

as you might be able to tell, last weekend was a crafty little weekend for me. my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and i checked out the assembly row 'assembled' , a handmade arts market near us. and although it was much smaller than we had hoped for,  it was fun to see some local artists and their craft. here are a couple i enjoyed...

paper bead bracelets and necklaces by set & style, 31 bits...

illustrations by eb goodale and everything little miss...

i also saw these adorable angel ornaments made out of book pages that a lady was selling for $6, so I decided to try my hand at making a few. all you need is a book to tear some pages out of, a needle, heavy duty thread or thin bead wire, and some beads of your choice. i also used a little hot glue in a few spots...

if you're in the mood for a craft fair the sowa holiday market is this weekend in the south end!
