Today is November 25th! One month left till Christmas!
Well I told you we had a great market yesterday.....best one ever!
Then I get home and I do another inventory, get all my notes in order, make a list of things I/we should this week, before you have a show to go to on Saturday. It took the majority of the afternoon to fill out the forms again for the market for the 2013 upcoming year. MrB and I got that all organized and decided upon and asked questions too. Then we printed out some more business cards. We had purchased more paper, ink, and have a new printer so we will use what cardstock we have before I take the plunge and order some printed cards from vistaprint, as per more than one recommendations. I some other tasks too working on stuff for Socks Made On 88 always trying to improve how things run and how I want things best for me for the things I take of after market and such. It's the day after and I still tend to reflect....I had a customer tell me yesterday at the market that she really like our display. I know making a few minor changes and adding the basket has made a nicer visual display. I got this selling thing now down pat, and I am so enjoying the constant interactions with the potential customers. It is like day and night since we started selling our socks in March 2012. It used to be stressful and not so much fun, but now I look forward to each and every time. But don't read too much into that, as I nor do we want to do this sort of thing every single Saturday or weekend. We were talking about this with a new vendor yesterday and we said we don't want a full time job and this is not our livelihood income!
We went through all our bags of left-over yarn and I sorted them and got MrB rolling on his way, cranking out One of a Kind socks for the next Christmas Craft Show. We don't want to use up all our good yarn just yet, as we have this show, another show and another market before Christmas. It is our intentions to see how all the socks sell that we have now and then order more yarn in the New Year. MrB got a pair of OOAK socks cranked out, and now tomorrow morning or perhaps even later this evening I have 3 pairs of socks to kitchener! Just not sure if I am in the mood tonight, so I think I may leave them until tomorrow. No rush...so tomorrow I think it will be! I am pretty sure that MrB will have a couple more pairs coming my way this week too! I will just keep a steady pace.
I think I have one more little task to do today/this evening for Socks Made On 88....and that is to print off some sock tags. That is easy, and enjoy the cutting part is relaxing to me.
No doubt I will be here again before weeks end. Be watching for me, I should have some more sock pictures to post too!
