A Crafty Goal

Well, that bookmark I made for the pastor's wife gave me an opportunity to craft some more! I've been asked to make up several bookmarks for sale at a church bazaar of sorts. I'm not sure what they will sell for, as surely they could not be priced what they are worth. My mother asked me how long it took me to make it. When I told her roughly 1 week, she was shocked. Cross stitching is done one stitch at a time. When you look at all those stitches, it's easy to see how something like that could take time. It took a weeks time, but not necessarily 40 hours.

Anyway, I have until May to create several items for sale. I'm going to aim for 10 bookmarks. That's a lofty goal given the time commitment, but I have some basic/simple bookmarks I'll do to get inspired. I'll throw in a few more complex ones for fun. There won't be any profit to be made by me, but since I already have all the materials and I love making them, why not do something I enjoy for several months and then share them with the world? I do need to make a few for personal reasons. I'll work that in to my plans so I can complete them all.

Oh if I could craft all day everyday. I'd be a happier woman!
