Hi folks,

How are you? I’m ok. Doing my first craft show in a little under two weeks. Kind of nervous. Had a little freak out last week. Ahhh!

This is actually my second craft show, but my first as Webster Fiber Arts. Many years ago, my friend Kelly and I made a bunch of Christmas cards and had a table at our home town Christmas craft show. We had fun making the cards. We sold like 5, so it was not a huge success.

I’m hoping for something a little different this time, and my perfectionist tendencies are starting to get the better of me. I’m trying to keep it in check and remember that this is my first show and it is a learning experience.

Learning experience. Learning experience. Learning experience.

Yeah.

Something that has kept my anxiety in check leading up to now has been the crochet I have been doing to get ready for the show. I’ve made a bunch of dishcloths so I have some lower priced items in my booth. I have really enjoyed making these, and I take the same approach on the dishcloths that I do on everything I make: pick up the yarn and play around with stitches until I find something I like. As a result, they are all different in size, color, and pattern. I think they look pretty cool:

I’m now in the making price tag and figuring out my booth phase of getting ready for this show, and that is not nearly as relaxing as making dishcloths. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Learning experience. Learning experience. Learning experience.

And if you happen to be in the Kansas City area, you can come see how this all turns out! Here’s the info:
