Gro-Moore Farms Craft Show

.

It's funny how different themes show up at craft shows. At the show in September at the Pieters Life Center, 5 people told me it looks like I stitch without even looking. No one ever said that to me before, then 5 people said it in one day. I admit I'm pretty fast because I've done it so much and it is almost more by feel since the holes are already in the paper. I take a stitch, I look up, repeat, repeat, repeat. I do this while watching TV and of course at craft shows I'm always looking around, keeping an eye on things - so I guess it could look like I'm not looking at my work that much.

Yesterday at Gro-Moore, 3 people commented that my work looks like tatting; one even watched me work and asked if I was tatting. I've never heard that before.

Towards the end of the day, 3 people asked me if I had this design either not framed or as a card. I'm glad I have a bunch of the stitched elements done ready to go. and had planned to make more anyway. Although I have gotten smarter this year. I'm not taking any custom orders or promising I'll have things ready for someone at a specific future show. I invite them to email me or check back with me at a future show to see if I have something. This is what I've seen MJ do during this busiest season - and true to form, customers understand.

I had an invitation from a librarian from the Henrietta library to teach a class in the fall of 2009. I told her I'd think about it but I can't see myself doing it yet. I've been asked to teach classes before and a bunch of customers have asked me if I teach anywhere but I see that as something I might do once I'm tired of doing shows. I'm nowhere near that right now.

I have some new signage to make then it's back to Gro-Moore for day 2!
