I did it. I have a bunch of Critters up at the Peculiar Maker's Market. And I have already sold a few. One being a custom order that was picked up yesterday, and she loved it.

Weird Week
I don't know if it's the Lunar Eclipse tomorrow that's got me a little off balance, but I've been kinda scattered in the brains and emotions since Thursday.
I've done a little hand stitching, mainly just to keep my hands busy, no real project to work on.
I took a few of my Critters to a new Maker's Market that opened here in town, ran by a local guy and his wife. Hopefully I will sell them and be able to rent a booth space. That's how I am picturing it in my mind, that people will see my Critters and/or my burnings, and want to own them.
That will give me the incentive to create some more, right now I have too many that need homes.

Slow Stitching
I have done this all my life, well, since the age of 12 I believe. I don't know all the embroidery stitches, but I can wield a needle and thread pretty well.

It's March!
I made a couple of Critters in February. I made a solo trip to Hobby Lobby one day, honestly I was going that direction anyway for another errand, so why not? I was just going to shop the clearance and sales, which I pretty much did, but I splurged on a couple pieces of faux leather. Yes, I have faux leather at my house, but this was the perfect color, I thought, for this.

Taking a Break
Monday, January 8, 2024
Woo Hoo! Monday!
Just kidding...it doesn't matter what day of the week it is around here, except for making sure I take my daily thyroid pill.
It started snowing here about noon. We're expecting 3-5 inches, but not sure if that's real inches or "man" inches, so I guess like everything else, we'll just see what we get and make the best of it.
So, since I moved my computer, I have actually been working on the social side of my little business. Just a few posts on FB and Insta, and added a couple Critters to my shop. I have a couple more to add, but I have all the time in the world, unless my cats decide they need my undivided attention. They're napping now.
I pulled my photo cube down yesterday and took a few pics, edited them in Google Photos. I tend to keep things simple.

Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a pleasant holiday season. I know it's a stressful time for so many. My circle is so small now that the holidays are an enjoyable time for me.
I buckled down and got busy on some handmade gifts for my family. Each member of my family got a piece or two of handmade goodness. The g-kids all got a box with a burning on it, full of goodies, necklaces, toys, etc. All got a round loomed stocking hat, as well.
Some of David's jeans are in there, too.
I had tidied that drawer 2 days prior.
This, of course, is pre-burning.
