Fall Shows

I will be doing another show this weekend at Maple Lane Farms in Greenback, TN. It is a Saturday/Sunday show. Townsend went pretty well. My camera died, so I'm waiting for Melissa to send me pics of our tent and I'll post them here.

I'll be pretty swamped this week since I need to build back some inventory for this weekend, but I'll write more about Townsend soon.

Have a great week!

I'm back...Sort of!

So I have my laptop back....But I haven't had time to take new pictures of my projects (some of which are Christmas gifts so I can't post those anyway...)

I am currently in the middle of "hell week"...I have 3 exams this week (completed 1/3 yesterday...2 more tomorrow!) Of course, Townsend is this weekend. So I've been trying to get ready for that. In the middle of this chaos, it occurred to me that I have a lot of Christmas gifts planned. So far, I have figured out that it will take approximately 206 HOURS to finish the ones I have planned right now. I need to knit over 2 hours a day. With school and Gwendolyn's Gifts, I have no idea how this is possible. I might have to scale down the plans I had. I'll make that decision a little down the road.

Okay, so quite a boring post...But here is a pic of a stocking I made last year. I plan on offering these (custom order of course) this Christmas season for $47. Send me an email at customorder@gwendolynsgifts.com if you would like to place an order. I can offer various colors and designs for your special keepsake. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for me to complete your stocking and shipment/delivery.

Success Sunday...

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Laptop Down!

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! This is Gwendolyn's Gifts, we've got a laptop down!

This morning, my laptop died. I had one of those scary blue screens that basically signify self-destruction is about to happen. Luckily, I am able to get it fixed free of charge...But it means that my internet use will be either on a library computer on campus or on my hubby's laptop. That means that posts for 2 weeks will be void of any pics. I know that blog entries that are text only aren't that exciting when your subject matter is a knitting project...but we'll manage...I do have some pics of older projects on a jump drive, so I might do some nostalgic blogging! I guess you'll have to wait and see what I manage to blog about now!

Thanks for your patience!

Success Sunday...

Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.

As I mentioned last week, I planned on having 20 scarves for Townsend. Not only did I meet that goal, but I surpassed it. I'm now well on my way to finishing a purse too. (This is a pic of just the scarves that I finished this past week and a half...So for any of you counting out there, it's 15 new scarves. I have 22 total for Townsend.)

SunsetKnitter likes to put pics of her cute kitty on her blog since she is a "Knitter with a cat"...Well, here I am showing my solidarity. This is my cat Clausen. He likes to eat yarn, but I love him anyway! (FYI, eating yarn is very bad for a cat...I do my best to prevent this from happening both for the sake of Clausen and my stash.)
