Lurker no more!!!

Hi everyone!

Well, as you can see, I am a lurker no longer. I really hate that I missed the potluck, but I was getting things together for my very first craft fair ever. I think I'm addicted, now. My primary products were bears that I have been making from recycled ahem VINTAGE felted sweaters. (There's a whole story behind that I'll have to share someday.) They're really cute, and look a little more like koalas than bears when I use ribbing on the bridge of the nose. I'll have to post pictures some day. In addition, I made scarves on the machine that turned out really, really nicely (and quickly, too!). In fact, there was one scarf I was reluctant to sell because I liked it so much. I'm going to knit another one ASAP. One lady even asked if I could make a ruana for her.

All in all, for a first timer and not having any idea of how to make my table look inviting, etc. I did pretty well and made almost $200.00 for the show. I also got lots of tips from other booth owners about marketing my table and making things look pretty and more "saleable."

I was planning to stop in on Saturday, but there's be snow forcasted for the weekend, so I think I better play it safe and try a later time. Hope everyone's doing fine!
