Our first craft fair stall went pretty well yesterday. I sold $90 worth of stuff (one hat and four animals) and Aileen sold several hats and socks. Good feedback from people who looked at the stuff, and Aileen said there weren't any other stalls selling stuff like ours. So we are encouraged and will continue on to the Paekakariki Fair in November, and two Christmas fairs.
I went to meet Rose on Friday who is looking for someone to clean and housekeep for their two holiday villas and home. Should be about 10 hours a week, rising to maybe 20 in the summer. I am going to say yes if she'll have me. Plus the lady I did a turnover for on the vineyard in August has also been in touch and wants me to do her turnovers from December - said yes to that too.
Have started a new bear - this one is grey and will have a lavender dress. Also am bidding on Trademe for a pattern book that I know I used to have years ago (what happened to it?) and that has lots of other teddies etc along the lines of the ones I am making. I want to experiment with colours - how would a pale yellow bunny look?
am loving the mouse v much - well done for selling some stuff. I think a yellow bear will go down well. John got a yellow bear when we went to a and e (o put a bead in her ear - doh!) and he calls it "lemon bear" classy kid huh!
ReplyDeletemissing you loads - I know, i know blog still not done....
John shows style and discernment - any other child would call it Yellow Bear.
ReplyDeleteMiss you too. I know I missed O's birthday but plans are afoot for a late surprise package....

Hey Deirdre... just been checking up on what you've been up to. The craft goddess lives again - your stuff looks cool! Will talk to you but thought I'd give this a nudge... nice to be home to the rain again! Yeah Right. Coffee / lunch sometime...? Chris
