More Blankets and Some Sales via ShopHandMade.com

Recently I have been fortunate enough to get a few sales via the shophandmade web site.  Both of the customers advised me they found my blankets by doing a google search.  That is very encouraging. 

I have now set up my site to link to the sales site there.  It is easy to use and is hassle free.

I have a few new blankets to post.....


This is a very nice holiday blanket featuring scroll work reindeer and Christmas trees inside alternating squares of red and white.  The reverse is a dark red.


This blanket is a very nice plaid over a red background with small decorated Christmas trees.  The reverse is a dark red.
 


This is a blanket I made for a friend at work.  It turned out great and she loved it.

Orchard View Bazaar

The bazaar at Orchard View Elementary School today in Winchester was very nice.  This was their first time doing this and they did a very nice job.  All are to be commended for making it a nice day and making all the vendors feel welcome.

Here is a photo of the booth for Grandma Jim.

Finished some holiday blankets for craft shows

This is a very nice holiday motif blanket with a red reverse.  The colors a rich and the material is so soft and thick.  I really like this one.....






Everyone should recognize this one.  Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and the rest of the characters from the Christmas special with all the misfit toys.  This is very nice.  Liked it so much I made two.





This blanket is made with two different themes.  One for each side.  One side is covered with white snowflakes and the other with a cartoon character Reindeer.




This is one of my favorites.  It is so nice and thick and soft and the colors are so vibrant I decided to make a couple more of these. 






Hope you all like the holiday blankets....

Blankets Lots of Blankets

It has been a while since I posted here. Since the Burke Center Festival I have taken part in five other shows. All of them successful and I have met a lot of very nice people at each one. I have made a lot of new blankets for special orders and for stock for the holiday shows.

I have also had my first true internet sale via Shophandmade.com.

I want to give a big thanks to Shelia Gulak who saw my blankets at the Burke Center Festival and ordered a blanket and bought another from my stock. Her word of mouth has resulted in several sales and she has even ordered another blanket. Thanks Shelia.

Here are some of the more recent blankets I have made for friends, family and for special orders.

This one is for a dear friend:












More to come soon....
