Heading out for my first show of the season today! Hoping it goes well. For some reason I am just not as excited as I should be. Once the crowd shows up and starts browsing that will probably change.

it was a quiet day at Latitude 53 yesterday. nowehere near the insanity of the Sept show. made some sales and new connections but not enough to pay for the day. sigh.. now on to making suff for the 4 Nov. shows I have planned.

happy Sunday all.

Almost finished making Christmas things. And an extra trip to civilization this week. Hope everyone else's Sunday was great as well!

Lots of ups and downs this week. I decided to promote a post on Facebook and got a good response in terms of likes and post exposure, but also comments about pricing being too high. I felt a little discouraged as the pricing I have still doesn't even come close to paying for my time! Thank you to all who like & share posts and leave positive comments on your fellow artisans posts - it helps to know others appreciate the efforts that go into making our products.

And today I took part in a Quilt Documentation Day through my quilt guild and with Alberta Quilt Study society. If you have any heirloom quilts in your house, it's worth it to get them documented - they have a website & are very thorough in their documentation and results can be seen on The Quilt Index.

Well, today was rather disappointing.
