Crafting at the Festivals

The show will begin at nine AM, at the Pomona Fairgrounds, and the people are lining up at the doors. We are ready to sell. Our displays are looking good with the punkin faces all dressed up with the shredded hair. Some of the punkins have curly hair, with long eyelashes and big eyes, hats and wow, what a crowd pleaser.

The kit has all the fall festive colors in it, with the ribbon shredders. The bright orange, and black ribbon is selling in the kit. We are making the flowers in fall colors and giving them away. The children are wanting the halos with the wands.

We have our racks full of the halos, because of the season and they are selling out fast with the wands, as we are demonstrating how to make the flower.

I have made a Christmas tree, out of the ribbons, and that is helping to sell the Christmas Ribbon that I have on the spools, that are stacked up and displayed nicely on the tables.

I have been instructing classes, on how to make the Christmas bows by tying them by hand. Then I am demonstrating on how to make a Christmas wreath with the shredded flowers. The people are loving my class and they are learning how to shred the ribbon.

My class is over and everyone that was in my class has followed me to my booth. They are purchasing the kit and buying more of the ribbon and they are loving the shredded curly hair on the punkins.

The first day is over and we are getting ready for the second day. Relaxing and just enjoying one another and talking about how we can improve on making the shredded flower and different ways on how we can use the ribbon shredder.

On our second day, we are almost sold out of the wands. We have more of the halos to sell and the ribbon is selling very well. The Pomona fairgrounds is a happy crafting place to sell.

There seems to be more of a crowd today, than the first day. My class is full and I have a crowd of laddies wanting to see how I have made the hand tied bows. I have my mic on, so they will be able to hear me. As I am demonstrating the bows, I am doing it step by step. So when the class is over, they can come to my booth and I will show them how to create the flower and put the flower in the middle of their bow.

The ribbon shredder, is a big crowd pleaser. We have almost sold out of the kits. That we have brought in for the second day. The star garland is selling out. Time to close for the second day and we have one more day and time to go home. We will be on the road again.

The third day is a slow day, but in the afternoon it is has picked up and we have almost sold out of everything. For my class demonstration. I am showing the crowd on how to make their Christmas packages look stunning and beautiful, with all the bows and star garland and shredded ribbon.

I love crafting at the festivals. Packing up and now for the road trip home. See you all, in Sacramento, at the fairgrounds. Happy festivals and happy crafting.
