Craft Fair

Our annual craft fair was yesterday.  

I was all set up and ready to go when the doors opened at eight.  My collars were laid out with care in hopes that St. buyers soon would be there!

They came.......and they went.   An hour and a half passed with only one sale of my homemade dog biscuits you see in the middle of the photo and not one collar.  Mind you, the biscuits are yummy and healthy for the dogs made with peanut butter, pumpkin, oatmeal and a bit of cinnamon and they sure smell good!  

By the end of the fair I had sold all but one of my biscuits and only 4 collars.  I was pleased the dog treats sold but I really thought I would sell quite a few collars.  I don't get it.  They are not expensive, in fact I've been told I don't charge enough.  I've been sewing for months, now what do I do with all of them!!  


Bummer...I am seeing an end to my dog collar career!  Dog treats anyone?

A Greyhound Sew an Sew Sunday!

For my Greyhound friends and readers!

I had to do it!!!!

 

This one is cute, it has Christmas Poinsetta's, buttons and Holly leaves.  And...the D ring part of the collar is polka dot!  So Christmasy!

See the polka dots!

 

A Houndstooth Christmas!!

And....thinking down the road.....

 I was on a roll and wanted to make more but since my foster Lissa is the only Greyhound around here, I don't think I'll sell too many Greyhound martingale collars at the Craft fair!  

 Have a GREYT week!!

 

A Sew an Sew Sunday!

Yes I've been at it again!  I'm trying to get ready for our community Art's & Craft Fair on Dec. 3rd.  

 Fa La La La La

 

Ho Ho Ho

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A Sew an Sew Sunday!

I did it again!!   

Only this time I made some really small dog/cat size collars and a leash.  

 

A Sew an Sew Sunday!

I've been busy today!

A Stitch in Time

Still busy at the sewing machine!

Cranked out three martingale collars yesterday.

These will fit Greyhounds with a 16 or 17 inch neck.

Martingales are awesome collars for dogs whose necks are bigger than or same size as their heads.  This type of collar doesn't have snap/buckles, only slides and will not slip off over the dogs head when pulling. 

Have several more designs planned!  

 

Busy as a Dog

I've been busy sewing. 

 This one has a matching key keep for the human.

Think I will call this one jungle paw prints.

 Pretty pink triangles and flowers.

 One for a boy dog!

Orange and flowers. 

I think this would look smart on a dark, black or brown dog.

Very fashionable houndstooth layered with pink argyle.

 Blue gingham check overlayed on black and blue diamond shape.

 

And my favorite for the day!  Colorful, colorful, colorful!!

Will be listing them in my Etsy and Ebay stores, though honestly, they really don't sell there.  People want to see and feel them I think.

However, I did just sent fifteen collars to a fashionable consignment shop in a tourist type town and am hoping some will sell.  

Need to keep sewing as I will have a booth at a craft show in December.
