The end of a line

I have completed my outdoor art fair season. I was in Westlake, OH (Cleveland area) this past weekend. My wonderful friend Deb Nelson came from Richmond, VA to help me. We set up in a light rain. Light rain, but we still looked like two drowned rats by the end. After putting up both canopies and the grids we decided that it would be best to not put up the merchandise. The problem with two canopies is that the rain comes in between the two.

We got up early on Saturday and set up before things started. It was still chilly and cloudy when we got there, but the sun did come out. I was doing a demo for this show so I had my little loom. I was weaving tote bags out of plastic bags. I wonder how many times this past weekend I said that. We went until 8:00 on Saturday. By the end of the day I had a jacket on. For those who know me you know that it was cold.

Sunday the high never got over 50 degrees. I had on two pair of socks. I had to keep taking my shoes off so that I could weave and my feet got pretty cold on Saturday. I did discover that I can weave, right a receipt and run my charge machine all with gloves on. The gloves were a big seller.

Deb spent Sunday trying to untangle a sari silk warp for me. Her fingers were getting pretty cold by the end.

We took down in 47 degrees with a cold wind. I was not real efficient at this. I think that my brain was cold.

I have unpacked the van and put the canopy away for the season. I have three shows coming up in the next couple of months then I will pack away the stock until the spring. Or if I need a present.
