Some good clean fun?!

[_Stacy_]

LoL Thanks!

 

Isabella loves Mall Cop! Are you teaching them the game on the computer, or with real cards? Which 63 squares book are you using? There seems to be a few of them. I bought the 63 cables and I can't wait to do some of them. I'm up to my ears in hats right now, though.

[miss scarlet]

I make it with 33 snowflakes. 54 was just way too big.

[a_stitchintime]

I need to look at that hat Beth wants to make...

 

I used to fast like you, Mary... I am a few kids out of practice:blush:lol I am glad to know that it comes back:clap

[miss scarlet]

Stacy are your hats selling in a store?

Can I ask how much you are charging for them?

[_Stacy_]

No Mary, I am selling them through word-of-mouth. Although I am thinking of opening an Etsy store. I am selling them for $20 each. Dh thinks it's kind of low, but I just want to see how much interest there is, for now.

 

How big does your blanket turn out with 33 snowflakes? I have 20 made and am using chunky yarn, but it still seems like it will come out on the small side.

[miss scarlet]

DH and I have been just the 2 of us for about 8 years now so I get to crochet alot. You just have to build back up to the speed again.

[a_stitchintime]

33 sounds much more reasonable.

 

Stacy - I don't have the 63 book that you have, although I would like to get it. I have the first 2... the one with the mauve, green and cream squares, and the one that shows them all in cream. I have done the first one before, and it is a bedspread for my queen bed. Problem is that it's blue, and my room isn't, so now I want a new one:lol

 

...when I don't know what I feel like working on, I pick a square and do it. This one has all plum colored squares.

Oh, that is a great idea! I had planned to save my book as a treat until all of my WIP's are finished, but if I waited that long, I'd never get to it.

Iam not too sure of the size now. But it is a good size for the sales.

You could start putting it together and then see from there. Thats what I did the first time I made one. I also crochet the snowflakes together it comes out really nice.

[_Stacy_]

I have 2-1/2 strips sewn together already. Maybe I'll just do lots of border rows. Do you make the 1/2 snowflakes that someone posted in the CAL? I think it looks better without them.

No I just make the whole ones. I like it this way too

[a_stitchintime]

That is so awesome, Stacy, that you are getting some nice sales, and that you are getting your name out there! also great that you can get a good price for your work! !

 

Mary, what is your avg. price for a throw at a sale?

They range from $35-$50 If I charge too much then I don't sell them.

I found if I keep the price down then I sell alot more. If I had a store on here then I would charge alot more for them.

[_Stacy_]

Wow, that is cheap! I understand what you mean, though. People are like that where my parents live, also. They don't want to pay for hand-crafted items.

[miss scarlet]

I wanted to tell you girls that Iam really sorry for being such a downer lately. It has just been alot of stuff going on here right now and I will be able to tell you all about it soon. I can't right now.

Thanks for being her for me.

:manyheart

I make up in volume. My sales are about $1200 a show.

[a_stitchintime]

Mary, that's about what we can get here, too.

Flannelghans, of course are a little more because of the yarn required.

[_Stacy_]

Wow!! That is fantastic!

I hope things clear up for you soon. I am sad that are having a rough time.

[a_stitchintime]

Wow!!! 1200 a show! How much is your table fee? are you at the high end shows?

 

..and you are not a downer.. We Love you, Mary!!!!

[miss scarlet]

And also I love crocheting and I love meeting people at the shows.

[miss scarlet]

Yes they are hig end shows. The one we do at the end of june is about $288 for the spot and the one we do in Nov. is about $450 and it is at a country club

[miss scarlet]

DD liked the flannelghan so I might make another one in a couple of months. I still have to take pics but I keep forgetting and I have to take them in the daytime, the pics come out better then.

[a_stitchintime]

ooohhhh.... I can't wait to see it! ...

 

Hey, is C'ville bogging down on you girls again? it's taking really long for pages to load again:(

[_Stacy_]

I didn't know there were high-end shows!

 

The 'Ville is acting up for me again, too. It took about 5 minutes just to reload this page.

Yes it is. I thought it was just me again.

The table fees are also split between DD and me so it really isn't that bad.
