Aftermath

  We always try to get a shot from overhead looking down at our booth.  The shot this year was just a little trickier since we were under the walkway.  But, you can see Carol's booth on the left, and our booth on the right.  This was Sunday afternoon just before we started to pack away all the goodies.  That's Carol, Tina and Ray in the booth.  Sales were very slow on Sunday!

  Since the sales were slow, Tina and I rearranged the left side of the booth to see how it worked for us.  We did like having the table towards the rear of the booth.  That's kinda dead space anyway, and it meant that people looked at the items on the shelf.  That's a great shot of Ray's rug, too!
  Hilary asked about the spiral rack for the scarves.   It came from storesupply.com.  They have several different styles to choose from on their website.
  I'm in love with the kiosk idea.  It holds so many items....and they are in full view!!!!

  Marie and Tina played around some more with the grid at the Center today,  looking at different ways to hang the placemats.  Yes....we're already thinking ahead to next year.
   Our sales this year were okay....thank you, Marie for all the bookkeeping!



  We sold ALL of the Christmas towels!  That means that Tina went back to the loom to weave more!










       And, speaking of towels, Liz is almost through threading the pillow ticking towels.








  Theresa asked about Pat's warp:  it's from Next Steps In Weaving by Pattie Graver, page 39.   The pattern was used for a scarf, but Pat wanted to use it for runners.











  Linda's warp is nearing the end!  She had another loose thread that required another fishing weight!  Sometimes the back of our looms are really interesting!!!!







 
Carl just keeps on weaving!  In fact, it's time to cut more blue jean strips....that's a job for next week!













   Polly knew we would need a little help getting all our handwovens back to their place in the shop.  Sugar cookies will always do the job!!!  She even made a chicken cookie!!!
  Thank you, Polly!!!





  Frieda has been busy on her 8 shaft loom at home.  She wove two scarves on the black warp using two different tie ups.  She was concerned that this one was too short....it depends on who is wearing it, right????









  That's it for today.  Fold up the looms, store them away and turn off the lights.
  Until next Tuesday!

Happy Weaving!

Any clue why so slow on Sunday? The booth looks beautiful though.
