Deadline Looming
How long has it been since I posted? It feels like a long time, though I’m sure it’s because I’ve been super busy and productive this week. You see, I have a deadline. I need to have most of my TNNA preparations finished by December 9th. The show isn’t until January 9th, but I have […]

Happy Thanksgiving!
We will be sharing the holiday with lots of friends, eating great food, playing games–my favorite kind of Thanksgiving.
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson (make that Ben Franklin as per Becca’s comment) wanted the turkey (wild, I presume) to be our national bird, not the bald eagle?
If he had gotten his way, would […]CHA on the Horizon
For some time now, I’ve been doing one wholesale needlework trade show a year. There are others I could attend, but I don’t. One reason I don’t do more, is that they are a heap of work!
Okay, not that kind of work.
Creating a display and making arrangements takes time, and that’s time not spent designing, […]Bookmark Challenge Contest
I’m still waiting to hear how many bookmarks some of the participating shops collected. I’m dying to know, aren’t you? I keep thinking of possible numbers: Will we hit 300? 400? 500? Am I grossly under or over?
We had 13 shops participate. How many total bookmarks do you think will be collected?
Make a guess […]Robert’s Snow Auction 1
Remember the Robert’s Snow fund raiser for cancer research? The first auction begins tomorrow, just in time for holiday shopping. Below are links to the Blogging for a Cure interviews with this week’s auction artists. I’ll post links for the next auctions as time nears.
Links to all the artist interviews are here. Kudos to Jules […]Cleanup on Aisle 6!
It started out as a normal day. I was working merrily along, thinking all was right in my phone-booth world, and then–ding-dong–trouble came calling. My wireless router went kaput. Sigh.
That bites.
As disasters go, I’ll take it and consider myself lucky, but this little hiccup sucked at least 2 hours out of my day and my […]2007 Bookmark Challenge Conclusion
The 2007 Bookmark Challenge is officially over, ending November 15th. I await totals and information from 8 of the participating shops, so not too much to report just yet. The feedback I’ve gotten has been enthusiastic. Shops have made connections with libraries, schools, and literacy programs, and everyone is happy with those connections. That all […]
