Make it yourself- gosh

I have decided that Starting today and for one week there will be a sale!!!!

All the patterns in the shop will be discounted to ........

$ 4.00

  I figured that it is getting a little bit close to Christmas and to make things a little more affordable to others and to help them use up those fabric scraps/pieces I have made the patterns cheap! That way you can

'make it yourself----gosh'  
All the patterns are e-patterns. So they come right to your email! Isn't that handy like?  They will arrive there after payment and within a few hours of payment! Plenty of time to get that extra bit of sewing done.

So click on over to the shop and see what there is.....there might even be another surprise when you get there.
Want some teasers? --just in case i don't pump enough of all of my stuff your way--here is some extras!

Give me a bit of time to pick the winner and announce it! Check back later on today for the big reveal. I got stuff to do and it will just have to wait--- oh, stop complaining. you can do it. :)

oh, and thanks!

Thanks for playing along. There was a lot of good stuff out there to try and win--i appreciate you coming by and checking in on the goods and being supportive of Patchwork Posse.

We did a bit of a tea towell exchange. Everyone dropped theirs on the table and then we drew names and picked up a new one.

crying

i am still in the dark and now i am crying in the dark. The 2 sales were this weekend and from what i can count up i made enough at the one show to pay for both shows. so, not loosing money, but didn't make any either.

WWWWAAAAAAAAA

you know that this throws me off. i get a little off kilter when things like this happen. it takes me a few days to recover. what don't they like? Am i too expensive? What if i?...how about?....
you know...questioning myself, my stuff, my layout, my presentation, my prices...
So this is how it is- i have obviosly enough inventory from the shows left over that i really don't need to make anything for this weekends show. That does leave me with some sewing time this week however to maybe add a thing or two, or make a few changes.
So just wondering- putting this out there...what do you like from a person that makes the things i make? GIVE ME SOME ANSWERS PEOPLE!! I am in the DARK!!! i need some ENLIGHTENMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT, and some IDEAS!!!
When you go to a boutique what do you like to see in the toy area? What kind of things perk your interest? what pushes you over the edge of being a lookey-lou to a pursy Purchaser?
Give it to me!! I can take it....I think


It was an overall CRANKY week wasn't it?
Tomorrow will be a new week. Tomorrow i will pick a winner. Tomorrow, Tomorrow.... I love ya....tomorrow..

My Written Excuse

Please Excuse Becky from Christmas Decorating

My written excuse

She has been lazy and unresponsive to her surroundings. The music, lights, flickerings of flashy toys, Green trees spotted in windows, little wreaths and carolers have been just too much.

She has finally given in.

She has put off to the latest moment possible for adorning the home with some Christmas-sy stuff.

Please show kindness and forgiveness to her and allow her to get her home ready for Christmas with just 17 days left to do so.

She will make a promise that next year will be more festive and decorative.

With all your forgiveness and blessings for a better next year,

Becky

p.s.----so does the honey. I should make him sign this.

***Don't forget....last day for the special mentioned in the previous post for the shop.****
