day 1 of craft fair

not really OT since I was there to try and sell the fleece sleeping bags that I make. Really, I just wanted to get my card out and hopefully that will bring in more business. However, I *did* sell 2 bags which covered the space rental . One of them was to the grandmother of a classmate of DD and the other was to another crafter. I have paid for next spring's fair as well as for the upcoming one in November.....but that one is questionable because they are canceling the December one and combining it with the November one. So we will see what happens. Either way, I will be adding infant/toddler bedding to both shows.

Woohoo!!

Larrisa,

Combining Nov & Dec fairs isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do quite a lot of Christmas fairs / expositions in Nov and they work pretty well even when they are early. It could be a thing to put up a notice stating that it's their last chance before Christmas.

At the moment I am waiting with my fingers crossed to see if we will get a place on a very presidgious( wish I could spell) exhibition in the centre of Paris on the 3 to 7th of Dec, it's in between the Louvre museum and the place de la Concorde!!! How terrifying is that. I have sent off the dossier just have to wait until May to find out.

Ah well back to more mundane things, flower shaped bibs for the spring fairs.

well, nothing sold today, which is actually fine as I did give out more cards.

Talked with one of the ladies in charge to find out about November, and she remembered all the confusion about this fair, so she remembered me (which is a good thing - make friends with the people in charge!!). She asked if I had already paid for November and when I said I did she smiled and said that it would be taken care of...and she made sure that I turned in the money for next spring as well.

So, looks like it's all a go. Nancy (friend) didn't sell anything, so I feel a little bad, but not too much. She wants to make candy and soaps for the next fair...not sure how that will work out, but whatever. We'll have 2 tables, so she can put whatever she wants on one and I'll have the bags and bedding on the other table.

Larisa, tired....very very tired

I will try and get some photos sorted but life is a bit hectic this week.

I just got beck from dropping my car at the garage, so the insurance man can check it tomorrow. I got jumped on by a deer last week so the front end is a bit sad . Then I must finish writing up my project for the course I am doing, so a french friend of mine can proof read it for me before I finish it properly and hand it in by the 30th of the month. I have a meeting at No1. son's school this evening for his school trip at 6pm plus I must get a batch of statues polished for DH and make a start on the accounts as the Vat(TVA)man is waiting. Parents arrive on Sunday so help is not far away.

The bib is fairly basic I took my normal bib pattern and cut it in and out around the edge to make it a flower shape with a circle centre, I probably will get some pics up before the weekend as sewing is way more interesting than the other things I am supposed to be doing LOL
