Flowers

Just had a wonderful weekend and very successful craft fair! The addition of knit, crocheted, and felted flowers to my hats proved very popular. I wasn't sure how they would be received, but when I put them all out on the table, I saw how beautiful they were and felt very proud of my work. The little zippered and velcro pouches sold out...as well as the eco lunch kits. I have some great ideas for next year...and met so many nice people. My next project is to work on my first wholesale order for Ana Cross Stitch in Anacortes, WA. I am excited to outfit my bags to serve the needs of knitters. I've ordered some great fabric...so will post as things progress. I want to send a thank-you to everyone that has supported me in this endeavor of Red Dog Designs. An especially large thank-you to Dan, who is always enthusiastic, helpful, funny, and full of great ideas.

Snow King Christmas Bazaar



It's that time of year again...time for the Christmas Fair. Up at 6:30 AM to unload the car and set up...8 intense hours of talking and showing and selling...then hopefully...enough money to take Dan out to dinner and to purchase new tires and some supplies...and then....sleep. This year I will be focusing on hand knit hats...since they seemed very popular at the fair last year. I will have a few bags with me and some small items as well. Right now the bag-making has slowed a bit...due to lack of time...but after the fair...will pick up again with some special orders...and my first wholesale order for a shop in Anacortes, WA....called Ana Cross Stitch....a wonderful knitting and needlework store...in beautiful downtown Anacortes. I am very excited about this.
