Bye for a little while (Kinda long)
Well most of you know by now that I have been very busy making Salsa and quilted stuff for an upcoming craft bazaar at church. It starts 2 weeks from tomorrow. For all those that I promised to mail flyers to, those will go out in the mail this weekend. We (hubby & I ) will have 60 half-pints and 30 pints of our salsa for sale. We have it in 5 heats from "Muy Piquito" (sp?) to "Diablo". I have made 5 frayed edge quilts, over a dozen pot holders, and started several stockings, which I had fabric for but not embellishments.I was trying to figure out what to do. Then yesterday I got this magazine with patterns for stockings shaped like cowboy boots, ballet slippers, feet, elf boots, ice skates, and a dog's paw. They are soooooooo Cute!!!! If you want to take a look go to www.familyfun.com/magazine and find the stocking link. I saw them and fell in love with them but had no money to go buy more fabric and stuff to make them and finish the others I've cut out. I came up with a proposition for my hubby. Besides gettting ready for the bazaar, I've also got to finish cleaning the house for a Tupperware party and 2 Christmas parties we are having here in the next 3 weeks. Hubby says I spend too much time on this computer. So my proposition to him was to go have some serious S.E.X. today, in exchange I will pay him back after the bazaar and stay off the computer (except for job searching purposes) until after Dec. 13th (the last of the Christmas parties). That will give me more time to finish cleaning the house and sew like crazy. So after today ya'll won't hear from me for a little over 3 weeks. I promise to take pictures and post them when I get back, in addition to the pics I already promised. i will let you know how the bazaar turns out. Hopefully I'll make a small fortune. We've decided on prices for the salsa, but I've still got to decide how to price this other stuff. I know I can't realistically ask what I think I should, but in discussing this with the gals in charge they think I'm not charging enough. 4 of the frayed edge flannel quilts are around 48x60 and one of them is about 60x80. I was thinking of $25 for the smaller and $40 for the larger. They thought I should go $35 and $50, but I don't think that's realistic. The potholders are just squares of fabric, nothing pieced, and I was thinking $3 or 4 on them. The stockings range in size from ornament size to 2 feet long ( the new fancy ones I'm buying for today) and I ws thinking $3 for the ornaments up to $20 for the fancy 2 feet ones. If any of you have thoughts, or have sold stuff like this, i would appreciate your input. Like I said I'll be checking messages today, but then it's adios for 3 weeks. Love to all of ya'll!

Three weeks and no newsgroup? Boy will you be ready for squishies and chocolate when you get back! Best wishes for your bazaar and other events. And just think...by the time you do get back, you'll have the house all cleaned up for Christmas!!! Cheers, Lynne in Toronto ..............................................

Good luck with the bazaar! (Fingers seriously crossed here.) As a veteran of
many of these, I agree that customers are stingy about paying reasonable prices. But on the bright side, any of your things left over would make great gifts! We'll be waiting to hear how it went (and wondering if you can really last 3 weeks without us ;-) Roberta in D "David & Barbara Schmidt" wrote in message ...
