I Need A Help....Please...

Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Show so over, this is my booth all packed up.Doesn't look like much like this.As much as I love fiber shows,I am not sure this is my market.I meet some great people but  the show did not pay for itself.I don't know if I had kits for needle felting and rug hooking, it may have helped.Seemed that most of the money being spent was spent on supplies and not the "folk art" part of the show.How do you pick shows to do?How do you know what show is the best for your art?How do you sale "your" art to the people at a show? I am not a good salesperson at all. I tend to take the low presser style "Hello. if you have any questions please let me know".So as you can see, I am questioning if I am doing the right thing by doing shows at all. 


This week I have been hooking.I just finished the hooking on this rug.May need to change one of the flowers on the side.This is the rug I did in Anita White's class at Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Camp.


I really like how the jar turned out.

Now I am trying to decide which beads to use for the little stem flowers.


This is where I need help,which beads do you like?

My Big Weekend is Here....Wish Me Luck

This weekend I and doing the "Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair"that is being held at Grayslake,Il. I thought I was going by myself but I ask my baby sister if she would like to go and she got it worked out, so now Traci is going with me.I am really looking forward to spending the weekend with Traci.

I have been working hard to have lots of things for my booth.If you are in that part of the world come out and see us at the Lake County Fairgrounds.You can go to their web-page and see everything that is going on this weekend.
One of the new things I have being working of is these little hat hair bow.Auna is helping Nana model them.

She looks so cute it the hat.I wish she could go with me and model at the show.
