This is what I truly enjoy - showing the variety of things that can be made from tatting today (especially jewelry) and explaining that it is no longer a lost art.<br />No pressure to sell anything! <br /><br />I show them the basic knot, and get to hear nice feedback about my displays. I'm lucky that the other two gals enjoy selling, so if visitors wish, they can buy lovely tatted things for sale. But I also have done 'solo' demo events, and it was at one of those that I met Elizabeth Zipay! <br /><br />I especially enjoy dressing in costume (from he Edwardian era) although I remind visitors that although we are honoring the history of the site and the crafts that were done then. tatting itself has been 'updated', and is not relegated only to the past. I bring my tablet and show them how to look up tatting on the internet. <br /><br />So I really have a good time and also enjoy visiting the other crafters and being part of festivities going on! <br /><br /> Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857704024517273961.post-73018563074565447112016-10-01T17:25:35.593-05:002016-10-01T17:25:35.593-05:00Your decision sounds good to me.

What I like about custom orders is that you get input and ideas from someone else. But then you have deadlines and can finish up making something you really don't want to make. Nice to have the choice!Jane McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221433363521511688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857704024517273961.post-53370965048160236032016-10-01T01:29:59.928-05:002016-10-01T01:29:59.928-05:00I do regular craft shows.

Wouldn't mind those but making to sell online isn't my idea of fun either.

And I agree that outdoor events can be very uncomfortable, so you made a wise choice there, too! <br /><br />Ironically, you may get more orders for the fishtail afghan!
