Sew-n-tell Amy Butler

Hey everyone. So Over at Sew-n-tell Friday on Amy's Blog she is challenging everyone to make things out of Amy Butler fabric or using amy butler patterns. I just love Amy Butler's Fabric! Here is a neckalace I made using her fabric and her free pattern on her website! It didn't turn out as long as it was supposed to because I didn't read the instructions completley right so I will now know how to do it for next time!





Ta-da!

Make sure to come back and check back with me becasue I will be opening an Etsy Shop next week!

Peace &  Love J-me

Some new things!

Hey everyone. Those friends of mine who are also my facebook friends might have noticed today that I made a "Company" page for Made by Jme! If you are not a facebook friend but would like to "like" my page over in the side bar ------> there is a box where you can do so!

Another awesome thing underway is an Etsy Account! The site is: madebyjme.etsy.com, but there is nothing up for sale just yet! After this weekend there will be. I am doing a craft fair in Hancock on Saturday for the Old Home Days, therefore I do not want to list items up for sale until after the craft fair. Wouldn't it stink if you bought something and the come to find out i sold it? So Come to the Craft fair in Hancock. Selling starts at 9am, and goes till I think 3. The booths are located in the old horse stables where the farmers market normally is held. I will also have some artwork (aka Photographs) Up for show as well in the annual photography exhibit so make sure to check that out too!

I wanted to update everyone on things I have been working on for the craft fair. I think my "hottest" item will be the Crayon Roll. It is perfect for back to school time! and it comes with 24 crayola crayons. Something awesome i noticed about these crayons is that they are now using solar power to make them! Yay for going green! (please note empty crayon boxes will be properly recycled!)

So make sure you stop on by and check it out!

I will leave you with some pictures of what to expect at the craft fair.

Christmas in....August..?

Hey Everyone!
So I have been a busy bee!
Last winter I was hanging out with a couple crafty ladies (my boyfriends sister and mother).
Sue, His mother came up with the idea that we should sell our crafts at a Christmas fair next year.
So I have been slowly buying things using my Joann's coupons
Just recently I started putting things together.
I came up with the idea for my yo-yo Christmas ornament using the scraps from my quilted ornaments.
Cute huh? And such a good scrap idea!
Here are the "Quilted Ornaments"
 I also have a craft fair coming up next weekend so I have been making some Key Fobs
I plan on opening up an etsy shop next week and making business cards to hand out at the craft fair
that way if people don't have money or cant decide if they want to buy they can go online!

Stuff I will have up for sale:
Key Fobs
Pocket tissue holders
Keyboard Key Earrings
Small fabric covered button earrings
Keyboard bracelets
Bottle cap earrings
Wallets
And maybe some Crayon Rolls

So please come back and check up on me during the week!

Thanks for looking

Oh and don'
t forget to see Amy's blog for other finishes!!

Peace & Love J-me

Osheaga!

Hey Everyone. My Boyfriend and I got back from a weekend trip to Montreal on Monday, and I wanted to share with you what we did. We drove there, took about 5ish hours. Didn't get lost until we got into the city but we found the hostel! We took our bikes too because everyone rides bikes in the city! We went there for a music festival, and this was our 4th festival we have been to. We saw bands like Arcade Fire, Weezer, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic zeros, as well as Pavement, Metric, and even Snoop Dogg! It was an amazing time. The only downside, the crowds. They were not as into it as all the other festivals we have been too. Part of the thrill is being squished and shoved, and jumping around. But I still had fun! Here are some of my best pictures from the weekend:


stars

Pavement

Arcade Fire

Snoop Dogg

Weezer!

Yesterday was my moms Birthday and i am in the process of making her some Place mats, because she loves them. So that will probably be my sew-n-tell for tomorrow, so make sure to check back!

Peace & Love  J-me
