Great Show at Stone Oak

      I had so much fun at the show yesterday at Stone Oak Country Club.  It has been a good show for me in the past too.  The show opened at 10 am and we were continually busy until about 1:30.  After a brief lull in the action it was busy again until it closed at 4.
      Not much action on the arm warmers, but maybe it is not cold enough just yet.  I sold most of the " repurposed" sweater garments that I took.  Some were ideas that I was trying but a few were the most recent revisions of those ideas and they seemed to be well received.  Now I know what to focus on for the upcoming runway show.
    Today it's back to the studio to make some more of the sweater tunics and one more hooded coat to use as the final look in my runway show.  I am inspired and excited to get into my studio and CREATE!!

I have been working my way through my sweater "stash" and using the felted sweaters to make arm warmers and scarves.  I will be taking these to my upcoming shows.  Whatever I have left after the shows I will put in my Etsy shop.  There is nothing on Etsy  right now because I want to have all of my inventory for these shows.

   I have finished 6 of these scarves and 20 pair of arm warmers.  It will be interesting to see how well they sell and the kind of feedback I get from my customers at these shows. I think they would be great Christmas gifts.

   I am taking lots of jackets and ponchos too so I hope we get a great turnout for these shows.
