It has been a wild apron ride this holiday season, mostly because I didn't know what to expect. Zoe and I were accepted into two holiday craft fairs: NYA Holiday Craft Fair and PICNIC Holiday Sale. Both of them were great experiences and we did well. I came away from both sales with special orders and I have four more to make, which I hope to finish today. Once they are finished I am calling it quits for the season as I have plenty of aprons on hand to get me through the end of the year.
I have been sewing, sewing, sewing. So much so that I looked up and realized I had done nothing towards my own Christmas. With our annual neighborhood party looming and no tree up, I began to do a bit of a panic. But (trumpets here, please) my dedicated Christmas decorating daughter, Nyla, is coming to my rescue and we will assemble that 60's aluminum tree and dress it up for the holidays and be ready for the annual gathering of the tribes.
It has been fun making my aprons and getting such an overwhelmingly positive response from those who buy them. In the process I learned what sells and what doesn't and as a result have made the decision to focus on my aprons and let go of the fringe elements. I will keep making the headbands, though, as a way to use the leftover fabric.
Aprons are definitely the way to go!
