Breathe out

The end line up – all in all – a good effort. See the red one? It sold straight away. But I knew it would. I’m not saying that to blow my own trumpet, but when it came off the loom I just knew it would. It looked right.

I think all in all I sold 3 or 4, not sure. The exhibition was SO busy in the morning, and at the end of the day record takings by all accounts. Some of the work was just breath takingly wonderful.

Got to spend some quality time with Sharon and her lovely girls, and my Mum came in to have lunch with me. KMS popped in too, so that was just wonderful.

My sister had fallen in love with Little Brown in insisted on buying it a couple of weeks ago. I asked her if I could borrow it back to exhibit , but through a hiccup of mine (didn’t read the ‘procedures manual’) it wasn’t able to be displayed. So I wore it instead. I had so many lovely compliments through the day and Mum wore it home. She just called me to say that she went into Woolworth’s for groceries and a Young Mum hunted her down and stopped to tell her that the scarf was “simply breathtaking” and that she loved it so much. She got my name so she could contact me when she decides to so I can make one for her.

It’s actions like that that put a spring in your step after a long long day.

I also managed to pick up 4 books for $2.00 and although they don’t mean much to me at the moment I am hoping to get hold of a 4 shaft table loom from one of the lovely ladies from the Group.
