First of all - let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving and that I do realize that it comes before Christmas. Fortunately for me and other people out there who market their craft we don't exchange gifts on Thanksgiving, so me it is time for Christmas. I've got a couple of orders in and a new line that I'm thinking of starting a kind of off shoot of Haley's Comet Crochet.
I'll tell you the story of the "As of Yet Unnamed Off Shoot" after Christmas. Because part of my story involves an order I've received for a gift...I won't be responsible for ruining Christmas for my friend.
So starting today - once everyone wakes up - I'm going to pack away all my craft fair stuff (I only say until everyone gets up because it'll be loud. Gotta get the stuff out of my car then I have to bring it all inside and then out the back to the trailer - it'll be a mess) and keep out only the stuff for holiday projects (and yes this includes one or two for myself....not that I'll have them done in time for the holidays but they're on the list) and upcoming baby/full size blankets I have on order.
On the upside this last craft fair was amazing! I came out ahead - first time EVER - and Santa almost ordered a scarf from me for Mrs Claus. You read right - Santa almost ordered a scarf from me. There was also face painting - which I would have done except for the fact that I had a ball to go last night (YAY MARINE BALL!) and face paint takes forever to get off. The best part of the day was the flash mob - yes an actual flash mob. There would be pictures of it - but I was too slow to realize that I was singing to Thriller and not Carol of the Bells to get up and see what was going on...
*looks around* At least some of the yarn and hooks/needles are still in the house and I can start on projects now....
Happy Thanksgiving!
