Market News

June, It has been a wet one. Tuesday June 22 was the first time in a month we have been able to attend the afternoon market. It rained every Tuesday this month.
Saturday the 19 th was a great day for market. The sun was out and so were the shoppers, what a great day. Sales were UP. There was also a healthy living fair at the same time on the parking lot and everyone was busy.
Hot and Humid was the normal temp. We all survived with plenty of water and a canopy to keep the sun partially off of us.
I have made a bunch of pocket pouches and started a few rugs.
My order for a long stair runner is in the process, I am still cutting fabric for that one.
Last weekend was the day for long rugs. Some days customers want long and other days they want short rugs. It runs in spurts as to what is wanted. I will keep weaving and see what turns out. I hope to please all of the lengths needed.
Happy weaving!!

June Markets

Here it is June already, one month of markets are under our belts. How fast the month went. We have a van full of rugs to sell at the market and they seem to multiply even though we had two empty tubs at the end of May. That is a good thing. The tubs all got refilled as soon as they were emptied though. I've been weaving denim and corduroy again. The orders are being placed daily as well. I now have an order for a 95 inch stair runner, that is going to take some time to make of course.. I still need to find and cut the fabric so my work is cut out for me! I may have to re warp the loom though before that weaving begins. The weather has been off and on rain, this week. Thank goodness for the warm and sunny days we had in May . June however seems to be predicted as wet, we will take the sunny days when they get here.
School is out for Benjamin so he can be my helper , even though we have to find the time to do the weaving without the help of the twins, at 2 1/2 they are a "bigger help" than needed, but they still have a good time. At least they are interested in the craft, that is a thing I hope remains with all three children . My looms are a treasure to me as well.
