So, I haven't blogged in a while.
I just don't have the desire really. I feel as though there is nothing to talk about. My days just aren't that full. Same ol' same ol' all the time.
I am working on making blankets for the craft fair coming up. It is coming too quickly and I have not accomplished nearly enough. I can only sew so fast. Every free hour I am at my machine, working on completing another blanket or burp cloth. I haven't even STARTED aprons. When I think about it, I get overwhelmed. I thought I would DEFINITELY be able to just pound them out. Turns out, that isn't really the case. I should have picked an easier thing to make! :)
Hopefully I sell them. I am very nervous about doing it. I have never done anything like this before. People keep telling me, you will do great, of course you will sell them. Well, I just don't know. I am trying to keep them good quality, but they just aren't as good as I would like them to be. I want all the edges to be exactly strait. I am having a really hard time with that. Are people going to want, mostly OK items? Probably not, they are going to want perfect items without character.
Hmm... my sewing teacher always used to say, never apologize for your work, we weren't made perfect. However, isn't that what people want? Something that is hand made but looks as if you bought it from the store? Or do people like the fact that every line isn't exactly strait? I know if it was me, I would want it to be strait. Do I need to sell them for less because they aren't AS good as I would like? Or do I just have a price and stick to it regardless? Or maybe if they mention the imperfection, to reduce the price? I don't know, all things I am thinking and worrying about.
It should be a fun experience though, right? Right?
