A dabble here and dabble there...

Way back in December before we even got Brigadier 88 and were really full force into this venture, I had emailed the person in charge of the Alderney Landing Market.  She asked that I contact her later when we were ready to talk more.  I gave her a call today, and she remembered me and was very anxious for us to come there.  Tentatively I have asked to make our presence there once, in the months of October, November and December.  We can also go sooner if we so desire. They are very much looking forward to our debut there, so we are hoping for some great results this fall!  I think this is something to look forward to and with more exposure coming each month more into the fall I think we will have better success in our sales especially the three months before Christmas. Being involved with 4 different opportunities will certainly give us a better view of where and how to schedule for the months following Christmas as well.  We can only try, and that we intend to do.  Still two more markets this month and then we are taking a break with the market scene until September 2012.  When September rolls around, we will be raring to get on the Market track once again. A dabble here, and dabble there, where will our dabbles take us?

7, 8, 9 Don't they look fine!

Here are the three latest pairs of socks that MrB has completed!  They have also been added to our website.  They are in sizes, W7,W 8, and M9 and like the the post introduction says, they do look fine... in fact they look mighty fine indeed! Two repeat colourways, but the middle one is a new colour different yarn.  I like all of these colours but  I am a bit more partial to the blue, aqua and orange combination. These will make 3 pairs of feet happy!  Remember also, Our Socks are Hugs for your feet!

Spring/Summer Sock Slowdown

Well it seems we are entering a spring/summer sock slowdown.....as there are yard tasks to be done!  I can see from my computer out the window at the moment  my laundered sheets are flapping in the wind on the clothesline, I see Daffodils , and other plants blowing besides those yellow heads here and there on the lawn.  Speaking of lawn...it needs some attention to be mowed.  I think we will get out there soon this afternoon.  I am just killing time while MrB finishes up a pair of socks he is working on.  Oh yes this pair is for himself, he has to treat himself now and again to socks for him, and these ones are on the wild side, yay for MrB he has surpassed the conservative stage and now is more adventurous in his colour choices.  I must go dig out my green lawn mowing socks.  Do you remember those?  I posted them way back, one of the first pairs made upon my special request for mowing the lawn.  I like mowing the lawn and wanted a special pair for the outing not to get all green....they are already green so no problem there!  Enjoy the sunshine in your part of the world if you so have it like we do today!  I will check back in a few days if there is something socky to report.
