Been working on some new stuff for craft fairs at the end of the year..
Some little skiing folks.. around 14cm tall to hang on the tree...
Made from recycled sweaters, cardboard, lolly sticks, cocktail sticks and beads.

They are really gorgeous Effie.   :loveit:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

It depends on price.... I was thinking £5, people want stuff for nothing.

They’re lovely, I’d certainly pay £5, if not a a bit more, but you’re right people want something for nothing.

They're gorgeous, you're very talented @Efemera well worth a fiver. Price them higher and invite folk to haggle  :devil:

There is a whole section of our society who think they're not getting something good if it's too cheap. Those are nice enough to appeal to that that group - go for the exclusive market!

Nooooo.  Its a craft fair not a jumble sale.  Definately worth a fiver at least.  My friend makes Gnomes and prices them at £12 and they fly off.

These are lovely! 

Always envious of anyone who turns out work like this - my stubby fingers would make it impossible.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

They are gorgeous @Efemera   !  But I would expect nothing less from you  :D  I think a fiver is too cheap too, how long does each one take to make?  Don't sell yourself short - you have a great talent xx
