Will We Have a Winner This Month?

Well...that depends on you! There are two ways to enter: make an order in my zibbet.com shop OR put a few dollars in the yarn fund!

What's the prize? It's anything you want it to be! A purse, a hat, gloves, a free-form purple lips pillow, a bouquet of roses...the choices are as infinitely unique as you are.

Remember, you can only win if you take a chance on the raffle.

The raffle is drawn via random.org's number system on the last day of the month. I give everyone a number, in no particular order, then set it from 1 to whatever the highest number is. I hit your number, you win!


This is to remind everyone that if you enter with a dollar, you just might win something worth much more. :)

I'll do the yarn review this week, and hopefully I can report a winner there as well!

I forgot to take a photo, but Brandon was nice enough to do a review! Go check him out and give him a view. He talks about alot of things, and is fun to watch!

Oh wow where does the time go?

Today I got started on taking pictures, but I'm not quite done yet. I'm also prepping for the upcoming craft fair at Bethel Methodist Church on Smoketown in November.  I planned on doing the one at Garfield, but the bar to entry is way too high (60USD just to get a table! That's rather high, even for a two day fair and the cost gets invariably passed onto you guys in the products when that happens.)

If you're curious as to what I've been making, you wanna talk techniques or you just wanna say hi(because you read the blog) then drop on by! You'll be glad you did, and it'll give me something fun to do aside from creating more pieces!

I've been looking at local flea markets, and I might start using them to open up my first physical shop, rather then keeping my products exclusively online. Do you think that is a good idea? I've seen and heard of individuals getting a great start at flea markets, but if you have contrary or first hand knowledge I'd love to hear it. Some locations are: Manassas, Woodbridge and Springfield.

I considered D.C. but I am not sure I would want to go such a long distance without a vehicle every day with all my products in tow...

As for a review, I will get to it next week. This week I am doing research and I want to focus on one thing at a time.

I made some cute things since we last met, so I will try to get some satisfactory imagery of them.
