My Story Ends...

My story ends when I land a spot in one of those giant craft fairs I have coveted since I started this venture. I think my strategy is solid: professional and stunning photographs ...CHECK MARK! Also, I have knitted a series of pieces I am calling "show stoppers" that will surely grab the attention of those juries. I am sure this will give me the edge I need to be selected. And that's how my story ends ...but it's really only the beginning.

In the Middle of My Story...

In the middle of my story I am strategically plotting to be selected to vend at one of the giant craft fairs in the Pacific Northwest. Every year the "juries" that select artisans to sell at these well-publicized and well-attended events recieve more than 500 applications. There are only around 200 spots. It is important to stand out and grab the jury's attention. I've got a big photoshootcoming up. It will be at a professional studio (wow, huh?) I'm hoping this will launch my pictures into the "stunning" and "attention grabbing" category.

My Story Starts...

My story starts when I made a purse for a friend for Christmas. I consider this friend the ultimate fashion diva, so when she was astounded by this gift and insisted I should make more and sell them, I took her to heart. The key words she said to me were, "you could make a lot of money." Those are hard words to ignore. That's how my story starts and that how I began creating beautiful knit accessories.
