I've been so inspired by the lovely snowflake designs which Snowcatcher has made over the years. Check out her Snowflake Monday's.
I enjoy working with thread, and have not made anything for a while, so I picked it up again last night with the thought of just move the hook and see what happens without a pattern. I want to design more of my own items, I know my craft...stop thinking about doing it and just do it. I wonder to myself if I am over analyzing about what to make...put the hook with the thread and move it...see what happens.
I have an idea on what I'd like to do with these small doilies,and I'll need a few more.
I didn't take the time to write it down, I just kept moving the hook. It is a small/simple design, I can come back later, write and tweak.
Not a good idea..trusting to much to the old memory, I'll remember "famous last words".
I finished it up and decided to rework the pattern, & writing the pattern down, it's going well so far.
A few more ideas into the hopper, I'll either post at the shoppe at some point, or have for the farmers market this summer. I really hope to participate, but I'm not ever prepared. I've ordered some more beeswax for candles and rosettes.
How far ahead of time do you create for your craft fairs etc?
I made this a few years back with stash yarn.
Gotta love stash yarn! Itty bitty's and pieces parts make for a colorful finish.

I have never made and sold. So can't answer your question.
ReplyDeleteMy only thought would be, go with your own personal flow. Seems that's always a good plan.

I used to do craft shows and usually started in summer/late summer. I am hoping to to a show for the 2020 holiday season and have already started as I'm making quilts to decrease my stash. They take a little longer than the average project so am starting earlier:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your feedback. I appreciate it. Going along early sounds like a good idea, get a good jump on it. I procrastinate and change my mind. I'm hoping to have a few items done, they are small, and I can finish them up quickly.
ReplyDeleteI start snowflakes almost every day on the commuter train, but’s lots get frogged multiple times because they don’t lie flat or they just didn’t turn out the way I wanted. It is truly fun to play, though! I have a small craft fair in November where I work, but mostly I make gifts for my 16 grandkids.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping over and commenting. I try to respond both here and on your personal blog. I'm old school, I take/make the time. That is why I have a blog. Snowcatcher, thank you for the nice comments about the picture, I am not a no photographer and don't play on on tv. Plenty of doorknobs, mirrors, and camera cords get in the way..hee hee...but it's fun.
