\"Chautauqua<\/a><\/p>\n

I arrived back home about 10:15 last night. By the time I (mostly) emptied the van, walked Jack, and took a shower, I was about ready to drop. Both set up and tear down are bears, and this weekend’s heat and humidity had everyone just dripping.<\/p>\n

But I will do this show<\/a> every year, if they let me. The grounds are beautiful, the show staff & volunteers can’t be beat, the customers are pleasant and generous, I have a wonderful space under the trees, what more can you ask for? (Go visit their website now. I think they change the pictures fairly frequently, but I’m in the header right now. Yay!)<\/p>\n

A woman spent a fair amount of time talking to me about my little RH loom, and about her photography hobby. She asked if she could take my photo, and sent me 4. I’m posting this one because I simply can’t imagine why I was making that weird face. She also sent some nice ones, but why share them?<\/em> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

I returned the rental van, put almost everything away, and got all my computer entries done. I know you’ll be shocked when I tell you that despite my ‘must use stash’ mantra, I ordered 6 pounds of undyed tencel yarn. My handpainted scarves and shawls were big hits, comprising over half of my sales. I don’t know what percentage of my products are handpainted, but I think it’s less than half. <\/p>\n

I doubt that my sales experience matches anyone else’s, but just in case this info is helpful, almost 40% of my scarf sales were cowls, and 30% of my shawls were mobius wraps. Don’t know that I’ll have time to make more of either in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Before my next show, at the end of August, I have only a few ‘must makes’ in my head. I sold all 3 of the black & white shawls<\/a> that I’d painted, 1 of the 2 black & white scarves<\/a>, and 1 of the 2 cowls. So I AM going to paint more black for both shawls and scarves.<\/p>\n

If time permits without making me crazy, I’ll weave a bunch of towels, as I sold 10 this weekend. Rather unusual for me, so my stock is quite low and I’d like to have more for the next show. <\/p>\n

I also only have 4 bookmarks left, but they are last on the totem pole. Maybe I’ll weave more, maybe not. <\/p>\n

I’m watching my grands all day tomorrow, but I think I’ll measure out some bouts for dyeing tonight and\/or tomorrow night. Then maybe dye on Wednesday. While that’s processing I’ll work on the transparency, which I am enjoying and am eager to see off the loom. That’s so slow, it may well still be on the counterbalance loom when I have the black & whites ready to go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
