Thank you!!

I went to an ASG (American Sewing Guild) Retreat this weekend and sewed all weekend.  I got through a few projects.  I'm so glad I'm participating in this SWAP.  Its getting me in the holiday spirit early!

Where is the link from Round 1 that shows what was in the Swap packages?   The link on page 1 doesn't take me to it.  Is it me or the link?

My Quaker Parrot would love this.

I was thinking of jewelry parties as well.  Even something like setting up a table in your school's cafeteria during the holidays (if they allow it) could result in some sales.

OMG - walnut oil - that would be deadly for those with nut allergies. 

$26 dollars a yard for the material you want?  Perhaps if they give volume discount you could find other people interested in combining their order with you to lower the per yard price.  How many wraps could you make per yard?  What would your unit cost be per unit?

Crafting seems to be a popular trend right now.  Running any kind of business requires a lot of work.  Perhaps you could find someone to work with you that enjoys the administrative end of things.
The economy isn't particularly good right now and many people would rather buy inexpensive mass produced items rather than handmade.

What is the URL for your website?
