Craft Show

The last 3 days were spent at The "Hornell Expo". I wanted to do this show because it was close to home, and I do not have a lot of show experience.

They allowed us to set up a day early, which was lucky for me because I forgot a lot of things.
My booth turned out looking pretty good, and I was glad I had designed the sidewalls to be used as half up or all the way up because they definitely worked better as halfway up for this show. The show was promoted by the local radio station, WLEA from Hornell. The radio people were all very friendly, and made me feel welcome and at home.

There were a few other craft vendors there. I found some great wood-turned pens by Doug Brokaw from Canisteo NY, and some delicious cheese from Golden Age Cheese .Here is a picture of one of the pens I purchased: (These photos are lacking in quality because they were taken with my phone... it is just too convenient to use, but I need to start bringing my real camera around with me from now on!)
Here are some more of Dougs pens, I bought one of these as well. They are more girly, and I want to give it to the wife of the other pens future owner!
Here is my booth, I had no idea I was such a salesman, but the show was pretty slow at times, and I wanted to get people into my booth! I was able to convince a few people that their mothers would love a hand-crafted treasure for Mother's Day! :) (Yours would too you know!)Anyway, I am pooped, I am going to sleep for the rest of the day!

What a beautiful day!

Today was the day I dreamt of all winter. It was perfect. I hung the laundry line outside, and I hung the clothes on it. I had a very peaceful feling with the calm easy busy-work. I was part of all of the early spring activity I could hear and see around me. The cats were exploring and digging things up from under the freshly-exposed dirt. There were birds chirping, and even a bug or two (Already!). I have been avoiding work. I think it is because I have the show coming up and I feel pressured to accomplish things. Well, I will have to write more later. I have pictures of my homemade shoes to post too! :) Soon, I promise, as soon as I get my work done....

GOOD MORNING!!!

What an exciting day I am going to have today! I had to wake up at 4:30 to help my husband get ready for work. Now, I am getting all kinds of things done, and the day has barely begun! I love it! I have been updating my website like crazy, and I have listed a few things on Etsy this weekend. One of them already sold, which I am just so happy about! :)

The kids made a snowman yesterday. I will update this post with a picture when the sun comes up! I have decided to do a show in March. I just have to call and find out the details. So, I will have to be busy busy busy sewing away! I am too excited to write well. Coffee coffee coffee......
