There is an area store that sells a few of the denim jackets, lots of scarves and now T-shirts that I have embroidered on consignment. They are having their anniversary sale tomorrow. They have had people say that they would like to meet me (?lol?) and since they have invited a few of their other crafters and artisans I am going to get brave and go. Hopefully I will sell enough items to finally be able to buy a WACOM digitizing tablet so I can do more of my own artwork as designs. I just thought it would be nice... and make me feel braver.... if somone in here might wish me luck?

good luck

This is great for you. You have my wishes for the best of luck.

Go get them!!!Good luck.**

As I was away for the weekend I did not see this post until now. I'm glad all went well at the store and I hope all your troubles with Ike are over!
I've got the Wacom tablet, used it with 3D Sketch to get an free hand embroidery (works well), but have not tried making my own drawings yet. Hope to see your results in projects when you've got one.

WOW silver, I hope you made business cards for the sale? Remember you just need to get your foot in the door for it to open wide :) *4U

Well, I came in late for this one, but I am so glad it went well for you. I am also glad you had sump pumps. We don't, and now you have made me think about that. I hope you can get the WACOM digitizing tablets.

How exciting!! It sounds like it could be a new chapter for you. I hope you do great and it is everything you and hoping for and more.
GOOD LUCK.
:o)

I'm so glad you went, and that you actually enjoyed yourself! Wonderful that people turned out in spite of the miserable weather. Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. I wonder if the couple newbies that showed up here are from your 'advertising', hee hee hee. Luv ya, Marji

Thank you So very much everyone! It was nice having you all there, if only in spirit, with me!
Well we actually got hit by the tail end of 'Ike's Spite' last night... I thought I heard an odd noise before I went to bed last night and went downstairs to see what was up.... good thing I checked. My normally pretty-dry basement already had half a foot of water on the floor! I spent the night mopping up what the two sump pumps could not pump out (one of those 'just in case purchases' made by my husband... now I am glad he is so overly cautious!).
I took a quick cat nap this a.m. and decided I would go anyway... I thought with you all with me it might just be okay. The wind howled, the dark skies rumbled and the rain poured down but we hid under tents and breezeways and inside the store and still had a great turnout! Things sold pretty well... not great but considering the circumstances I was more than happy. I met so many wonderful people tho it was really amazing and that is what made it so worthwhile.
I talked to the people I met not only about my embroidery projects and items for sale but about the wonderful communities, such as Cute's, that have sprung up around this 'hobby'. Few people realized that such 'cyber' communities existed around our hobby and of those that did few realized that we could all be so 'close' even tho we are spread all over the face of the planet. I felt like an ambassador for 'Club Cute' and 'Club SICKs' lol.
So, in my moment of 'fame', I tried to shower you all with the acclaim you all deserve. I hope there was at least a tiny moment in your day when a spot of sunshine warmed your face, a sudden smile crossed your lips or just a feeling of happiness for no particular reason came your way because that was a sparkle of the rainbow in the midst of the storm we all endured that I was sending out to you all...
Thanks again for being there for me!
Blessings (and big hugs!) to you all!
Sincerely, Silver!

Good luck. I'm sure you won't need it. They wouldn't have asked you unless you are fantastic.

as always we never see our own things as others do - thankfully! I'm sure if your things were requested that they must be beautiful. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Not only luck to you, but God's blessings as well. Keep your chin up! *4U

I probably saw this too late, and you're already there! But I'm sure you'll do well, and people always do like to meet the artisans that do the work. Just smile and nod a lot, they'll do all the talking, hee hee hee. My best thoughts are with you, I know this can be hard. I've done this many times for many things, and I *still* don't like it! Bright Blessings, Marji
