Silent Auction this Saturday!

This Saturday our silent auction, a free community event happening at the Ballard Community Center.

Procurement is not my gig (I'm the design end, see above), but I can tell you that our staging area is packed with cool stuff, including, well, stuff, but also gift certificates for local businesses, parties, lessons, exciting things to do, & much more.

I've donated the following handmade items:

A princess outfit for an 18" doll,

A pair of modern patchwork pillows,

A glitter + resin ring,

And, my favorite, the lap quilt that I made especially for the auction this year. You might find yourself bidding against me for this one, I really do love it.

Hope to see you there!

I might have to check it out! I am a sucker for silent auctions :) I do yoga and there are generally lots of yoga gift certificates at silent auctions in Seattle. And that lap quilt looks fantastic but I probably don't have deep enough pockets to win it!

I wish we could make it this year! Oh well, one of the downsides of being 40 weeks pregnant!

EEK! It's over, passed, I missed it. Not that we could have made it. We are an over an hour south of Seattle, and were on a hike on the So. Fork of the Skoke River til 3:00 pm. that day. But that quilt, oooooh that quilt...

So I know I'm only, oh, months behind here...but I found your blog (again...) through Craft Addictions, and was just reading through some posts, and was pleasantly surprised to find that you're from Ballard! My old neighborhood...ish. (QA, Wallingford, Ballard.) In Edmonds now, but it's always fun to run across another Seattle area crafter/blogger. Your design for the auction is great!

I am also a big, big fan of Elizabeth Mitchell. If you like her music, I'd also recommend the band Dog on Fleas or the singers Johnny Bregar and Kira Willey. All on my top favorites list.
