Way Cool

This is the test stitching of a new pattern. Not totally new, it's a variation on one I was stitching when I was poking the holes by hand. The pink thread doesn't show up well enough on the purple, but it's just a test anyway.

I don't like to brag . . . okay, yes, I do. My sales for this past weekend's craft show were beyond my high hopes based on what I thought I had sold. My sales were up 86% over last year. And I smashed my show goal by 161%. Take that - bam!

Thus the setting up of a new pattern for my Groove to cut. Must stitch more! Luckily I have many Sticky Notes just in need of embellishment so I'll be in good shape for next weekend's museum show. Plus, like I said, I took Thursday and Friday off this week from the day job.

Good for you!! And I really like that new pattern -- it's like starbursts.

Nice to hear about good sales. I wonder - and this is not personal to you in any way - Did the sharing of sales time help? I've often fantasized about a show where everyone would move over to the next booth and sell something new every hour. I'm not sure that much of the public would notice, and it would be easier to brag about the nice pottery that about the same old stuff I've been selling for years?

Heck Don, I *love* talking about my own stuff! And you're not selling the same old stuff - you've got new stuff all the time.

And I haven't forgotten about inviting you over for a Groove demo - after this show season, okay?
