Time For Rest

I just finished my last show of the year! I am so grateful for all the people I've met this year, visitors, customers and fellow vendors. It's been a good one, and I'm looking forward to another in 2016, but now it's time to rest for a bit. We'll do some hiking, spend time with family and friends, and just Be. (Knowing myself, it won't be for long!)

If there's anything you need or want, please email me @ bethanyhomecrafts@gmail.com. I'm no longer running an online shop, but I'm always happy to do custom orders or to ship you what I have in stock. 

With all best wishes, hopes and prayers for peace in the world, our homes and our hearts. May your holiday celebrations be blessed! 

WELCOME!

WELCOME!

Welcome to Bethany Homecrafts!  

I hope you enjoy browsing through my web page - exploring the galleries, reading through some of the things I've shared - and that it gives you a sense of visiting my booth at a farmer's market or craft show.  If you're new to Bethany Homecrafts, I  cut up sweaters and jerseys that people were done with, and sew them into new designs so that they get a  whole new life.   Look through the galleries and you'll get an idea of what I do.

You can see my schedule to find out where you can visit me at a market or fair, you can click on the Etsy link to visit my online shop and make a purchase, or...

If you'd like to order something custom made, please contact me (www.bethanyhomecrafts@gmail.com)!  What you see in the galleries are examples of my work.  I may have what you'd like in stock, or if not, I will happily make it up for you.  I do a lot of custom work, and it's a joy to make exactly what a customer dreams of.

Happy Winter!

It's been cold with not much snow where we are. We're grateful for the sunshine we've had - not only does it soothe the soul, it's now powering our home! It's fun to run down cellar to where the inverter is, and see on its panel how much power we're generating. I love having a business powered by the sun!

It's slow season, but I do have something going almost every Saturday between now and the beginning of April. I've also got my Etsy shop up and running www.etsy.com/shop/bethanyhomecrafts.
