Craft Fair Experiences

I was a vendor at my first ever craft fair. I've attended quite a few over the years, just never as a vendor. My friends and I took our collection of crocheted stuff and sold it.

We did pretty well. I made more money than it cost me to be there. But then I spent it at other vendor booths. My little bit to help the economy.

We're looking for other craft fairs to attend so if you know of any in Washington near tri-cities or Moses Lake, please let me know.

If you want to buy any of my crocheted things, I'll be happy to work out a mail-order deal for you. Send me an email, please. jaletaclegg @ gmail.com

I've got wristwarmer mitts in all kinds of fun yarn, cotton dishcloths and scrubbies, hats, rose hair clips, and lots of little stuffed animals, mostly hedgehogs and bunnies right now. Oh, and loads of little turtle keychains.

That's all just my stuff. My friends didn't make it the first day, but I had no problem filling a 9 foot table by myself. I think my yarn addiction is getting out of control...

Testing Out Fiverr.com

I spend a lot of time making stuff, mostly with a crochet hook and yarn. It's something I can do when I'm tired and can't think straight, which is more often than I'd like due to health issues. I can't write at those times, or I would focus on that. So I do other things that I enjoy. But my house overfloweth with yarn doohickies. I don't need anymore. My kids and grandkids receive plenty of yarn objects. I still have loads of things around.

So I'm toying with ways to sell them. As long as I make enough to keep feeding my yarn habit, I'll be happy.

My latest foray is into Fiverr.com  People post things they are willing to do for you, starting at $5. I've got a couple of things up there. I'd appreciate it if you would check them out, see if it's something you'd enjoy, and if so, please order something. If not, no worries. I'm mostly testing the waters to see how well the site works for me.

Here are the gigs I've got going:

Itty Bitty Kitties

Rose Petal Sachets


Check them out! If you note in your buyer's instructions that you read about the gig here, I'll throw in something extra for you if you order.
