Tossing an idea around in my head..

17 March 2011

I had a bit of an idea that Id like to take some of my stitched goodies to the markets..
but typical of me...
I'm worried that it might be silly idea...
Its a given that not everyone will like my rough around the edges style...
BUT what if no-one at all liked it?
eeek....now that would be embarrassing.

So while I ponder the shall I's....or shan't I's...
Ill just keep stitching...
because I like them....
and so do my girlio's

Want a peek?

Here's a parliament of owls....
(and yes...that's the technical term....I googled it)



Some bubba owls... Dixie and Dot



Douglas...

and Dulcie.

Some journal covers...




Should I?.... shouldn't I?
that is the question.

  11. Well before you sell them at market I think I need to buy some :)
    Have you though about selling through facebook? I know alot of people have had great success.
    Also it is a way for people like me who don't live near you, but read your blog to purchase your amazing gorgeous stuff too!!!!!

    They will be a hit no matter where you sell them.

  12. YES for sure Mardi! But I think you will have to have a "travelling market" so people NOT in your neck of the wood don't miss out....like me!!!! The hardest thing with markets is the pricing??? Ooohh but the cuteness of your 'parliament' (by the way nicely googled!) will sell for sure!!!!
