Two to go

 and it's panic time!  Now that we've heard how many are planning to attend our big craft fair this weekend, we're worried that we won't have enough merchandise!!  Actually, that would be pretty nice, now, wouldn't it?

Tonight I'm baby sitting and will try to finish these darling baby Santa hats:

Wow!! Only Three!

Now I feel like the White Rabbit....I'm late, I'm late for an important date in just three days.  No time to post a picture, just say that most goals were made, and I'll get done what I can tomorrow!  Hopefully then there'll be more of an update!  Off to bed!

Just Four More

days until the big sale   We did even more promoting today so we hope lots of folks stop in on Friday and Saturday to see some neat crafts and visit with us.  We plan to have fun!
This morning brought a great sale, but that means I had to complete an amigurumi lion today along with the scrubbies and tagging and tomorrow means a giraffe along with more scrubbies.  What fun!  Here you can see the little giraffe and lion that went to Missouri today:

Down to Five Days

and there isn't going to be enough time!  I'm sure I'll still be finishing set up and even an item or two on Friday morning, the day of the sale.  Today the elephant and five double scrubbies were completed.  The only complication, and a pleasant one at that, was that three orders came in, so that takes away several items and there will be packing and shipping tomorrow.  So, in addition to that, my goals are more double scrubbies , beginning the tagging, at whipping up a new hat.

Here's one of the items that sold today.  There won't be time to remake these!!

Just six days...

One of the very practical products at our upcoming sale is a set of unusual jar openers.  The soft, rubbery centers are very gentle on hands and offer a great grip.  They're also available individually at just $2.00 each.
Goals for tomorrow include finishing the amigurmi elephant, cutting the final 8 yards of netting and starting the double layer scrubbies.  Hope I'm as successful tomorrow as I was today!

One more week!

Whew!!  Just finished a hippopotamus!!  He came on the heels of 12 scrubbies and a new beanie cap...so all but some organization was completed today.

Above is a thank you note that will be offered at the craft sale next weekend, but it's also to thank all of you who have been following this series of blog posts.

Tomorrow's challenge is another dozen scrubbies, the organizing that should have been done today, and the start of an elephant...big tusks...oops...tasks (can you tell I'm getting sillier by the minute?)

Just Eight More Days!

One week from tomorrow is the first day of our craft show here in Kohler.  Publicity is continuing, projects are being completed, and we're staying positive about the weather forecasts!
Goals set yesterday were completed about an hour ago I'm focusing on three items for tomorrow:
10 scrubbies
                                    Sorting completed crochet projects
                   Making a hippopotamus

Fortunately the hippo is only about 10" long.  He's shown with his pachyderm buddy in the photo above.  Both are part of an amigurumi zoo that will be on sale next week.  They both were completed but sold last week!

See you tomorrow evening!
