I could sell to one person but shows were too hard on me mentally and emotionally.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-6168747333621643632015-02-16T17:14:46.573-05:002015-02-16T17:14:46.573-05:00I don't have your artistic talent.

There is *something* about fabric, isn't there Joanne? I've never sewed until recently starting quilting, but one can get lost in a fabric store (or a yarn store) just looking, feeling, and enjoying. I wonder why is that?Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-57764072088281408892015-02-14T23:47:27.728-05:002015-02-14T23:47:27.728-05:00It's a challenging way to make a living.

It was a great experience for our kids. They were 9 and 11. They enjoyed the interaction with customers. Me, not so much. At the end of the day it wasn't a lot of money...I kept my day job!#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-67245488848689758812015-02-14T23:14:12.193-05:002015-02-14T23:14:12.193-05:00I love your stories!

I liked the name of your and your sister's business; so cute! I bet it is somewhat relaxing to be weaving for you; to be able to listen like you said to books on tape or just to think as you work. Enjoying reading the answers to the questions posed to you and I did enter the contest yesterday :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-86186455573618229122015-02-14T15:46:07.583-05:002015-02-14T15:46:07.583-05:00Somehow the connection between you weaving cloth a...Somehow the connection between you weaving cloth and weaving baskets did not occur to me.

My last show of each year would be around Thanksgiving and then I would be home until February. By December folks are shopping for gifts, and clothing is an iffy gift. Our last high volume shows were in October, then a couple smaller November shows, and off until the February ODC show.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-25284546010737957562015-02-14T13:04:43.812-05:002015-02-14T13:04:43.812-05:00I am so enjoying your recounting of your "his...I am so enjoying your recounting of your "history".
