Crafty Litsters show your work!

Even that is tough, there's always someone looking for long sleeves in the dead heat of July... or a swim suit in the middle of a whiteout storm with ice!
 
True. I'm just not made to sell.
It's much more complicated then it is enjoyable by that point.
For me atleast.
 
Thanks for the nice words.
:)



I have been told quite a few times, that "if you marketed that thing/gizmo/whatever, you would be rich!"

To be honest, I have more money than time, and it would probably make it less fun to do it for profit.
I have made a few things on request, but I have never asked for more than what covered the materials and wear on tools.

Going commercial is awfully labor intensive, and will mean a lot more time spend on administration.
 
I got some embroidery thread today. It's been a LONG time since I did any of this stuff, I was just a kid. I'm not really able to remember any of the stitches. I am hoping they will come back to me when I have my needle threaded.

I have a project in mind of non complicated embroidery for household use.
I started up embroidering a couple of months ago. Crochet is my favourite craft but I still enjoy embroidery a lot

I'm more into cross-stitch, counted or free hand, rather than actual embroidery. Although I had done several large wall hangings in the past.

then I started sewing felt baby boots. I used to try to sell them but the sidelines was using kept raising their fees so I just stopped. Still have some inventory in storage but I only use it for gifts.
 
Fooling around with the lathe.

Aluminium, 5 mm square paper.

Tis the season!
Nineteen pounds of blackberries, six quarts of rabbit stock and two jars of rabbit meat.

Impressive too!

I've never tasted rabbit in that fashion.

They were a little old when we harvested them, so I ran them through the pressure cooker. We use it for soups and stews or pulled barbeque sandwiches.

I use the stock for soups, rice, bulger, barley and gravy.
 
First ever digital sketch

It's meant to be a banana.
It doesn't look like I drew it with my left hand so that's a plus at least.

Curiosity and being left-handed prompts me to ask why left-handed?

And at the risk of setting you up and embarrassing myself..was your right hand tied up?

Nice banana btw.

I was saying I'm apparently not so bad at drawing that the banana looks like I'd drawn it with my left hand, since I'm right handed.

If you are wondering what a left handed banana drawing looks like...

I see there was some discussion a bit ago about making and selling things.

Has anyone ever made things for a hobby purpose and then done a trade show or something once/twice a year mainly as a cost recovery type thing? Some locals and I were talking about doing a kinky trade show... and i was brainstorming ideas that could be made without spending a lot.. simply because I don't want to invest a lot of money in things that might not sell... Curious on people's thoughts.

I am a crafty person to begin with but haven't done as much lately. Crochet is my main craft but I have done many things over the years.

I was thinking the following ideas:
Nipple clamps with dangling beads (i just bought 2 nipple clamps for 1.45 cdn via ebay, no decoration)
Pasties (I have tonnes of partial balls of yarn, and would see what other methods could be used)
Boob/penis cup cozies, lip gloss cozies.
Willie warmers

I was thinking between 5 to 20 dollars for the above.. obviously the warmers would cost more as they require more time/yarn.

Any ideas or thoughts? If you prefer, feel free to PM . I won't take offense if people tell me its a bad idea either... I'm just at the very first thought stage

I've often thought this would be a great idea.
I've never gotten the chance to take it off the ground.
I don't have many friends in the kink community that would benifit from my doing so.
 
I'm kind of a one trick pony these days.

Four quarts peaches, four pints carrots, one quart cherries and nine half pints of jelly made from the leftover peach and cherry juice (for Christmas giving).

if you wanted to do it as a business and deal with mailing things, you could try etsy... i don't want to commit to something like that.

I'm currently trying Facebook.
I don't really have... let's just say its my glorified hobby.... and not really what I would consider a source of income.

As for kink toys. I make what I need for myself and move on.. I've gifted a few, but even then it doesn't seem to draw attention like I'd hope.

Besides, I forgot to mention. If you have an idea and believe in it... it won't hurt to try... atleast you'll know once you have.

facebook is a hassle.. getting your business in front of people... but it doesn't hurt.. :)
 
some of what I've been up to

black pearl and rhinestone pasties
under bust corset
short bloomers

the body isn't mine, but I have permission to reuse the photo since what is on the body is mine.
