I don't know about you but this month of April just seemed to zip by way too fast! Look it's the 28th and only a couple more days left. We started the month off by taking a week off and going to Cuba, coming back and taking another week to get back into routine, and last week was a week of appointments almost every single day. Last week I also found out that my grand baby to be is going to be a grandson! How special is that news! Whew, this week will be slower, this I know!
Yesterday was market day for us! It was a good day, good stint. It started off slow but then became rather steady with sales. In two weeks, when we reappear again, there will also be an event at the market called Open City. We are participating. We donated a product of ours to the basket, and we are also offering up a sale on some older stock giving $5.00 off our older stock of sock pairs of yarn we do not order any more. I think we have about 10 pairs to sell and they will be our featured baskets that particular day which will be Sat. May 11th. The day before Mother's Day, and I suspect that we will be busy that day!
Two appearances for market in May. May 11th and May 25th. And also hope to be present on June 8th. After that we will see how our dates are for June as there may have to be a change if MrB's hand surgery ends up coming earlier than we anticipate. We are sure hoping it's after our Good Karma event, as that would make for good travel and a fun few days away.
MrB will be busy cranking sometime this week although it is suppose to be sunny and that means he will be torn to do yard work and garden work also. He does have some quotas to fill before next market day. Our goals and blackboard method is working very well. Kudos to us both for keeping up the tallies after cranking, after kitchenering, after washing, after drying, after tagging and onto being ready to add our the storage containers for market going.
I made signs yesterday for our sale offering! I know I may have said that we would not offer a sale. Well, it's a one time thing for now and it is also primarily to participate and promote the Historic Farmers' Market that day! We will see how it ends up going. And as I mentioned it is to help rid some of our older stock of sock pairs that normally may not leave the rack as the colours are not as appealing as what we produce now.
Time to wrap this blog post up and be back again sometime real soon,
MsB from Socks Made On 88
