Nothing like a deadline for motivation!

Hmmm ... so I'm giving serious thought to having a Black Sheep Cottage open house in October.

My offerings would include soaps, candles, sachets, earrings, dyed yarns, hand knits, dyed wool fluff, and whatever else I may think to add to the mix.

With only three months to plan I'll be motivated to organize and clean my house. It would also require me to get busy with making the items I want to sell.

My living room is larger than the average craft show booth and I own a lot of things that could be used for props. I would need to move a couple of chairs but other than that it would mostly be like setting up for a show.

Need to talk to my sisters and see if they would want to join me. We wouldn't have any expenses, (booth rent, travel, lodging etc.), so it could be very doable.

Stay tuned to see how this works out. As always prayers are coveted!!

Oh goody! Take loads of photos as this will be the only way I can visit your open house. It sounds like it's going to be GREAT!

I think an open house is a terrific idea. It's very brave of you considering you are letting the world into your private space. Wish I lived closer, I would definitely come to shop. All your products sound so lovely. Have to pick your brains about candles...the beeswax ones I made this morning are burning a little hole down the wax, even though it's a tall thin jar. Wrong wick I think.
