Hello, Sunshine!
It is that magical time of year! Busy season is just over the horizon for me. I have a “slow” September to prepare for the rest of the ‘Ber months. Each month will bring 1-2 in-person shows each. Some are back to back weekends and multiple days. My van never seems to stay unloaded very long. I will also have Open Houses and exclusive on-line sales happening during monthly virtual shopping events. As you can see, the show season gets busy and quick!
My “slow” September is anything but actually slow. I may only have an Autumn Open House on the calendar, but there is a massive amount happening behind the scenes. Show season means that my yarn is headed everywhere with me. My backpack earns its keep between bus stop pickups, coffee shop sipping, passenger princessing, and sports cheering. My hooks are going about any time I have down time. It is a good thing that I can watch/listen to things and crochet at the same time.
Crocheting is not the only thing that is happening when I am not in my cozy corner of the internet. My Cricut is cutting everything from felt eyes to logo stickers to craft themed iron-ons. The heat press is warmed up and ready to create crafty t-shirts, eyes, tote bags, and more. Beyond the actual crafting, I have been expanding my digital footprint. I am currently working on 4 (hopefully, 5) series of patterns. They are being edited and published to Ribblr. There are scheduled to be at least 5 patterns in each series. (https://ribblr.com/shop/shinysunstar-creations-) I am also attempting to get into the Reels game. Yep, me attempting tougher social media. I am not one that remembers to video/photograph my progress. I will get there.
And…yes! You read correctly. I have even more amazing things coming your way this show season. In addition to what is listed above, I have a few things up my sleeve that I am not announcing. These NEW products will be geared more for my crafty friends and will make great gifts for the crafty people in your life. They will become public during my Autumn Open House or October’s virtual event. It is dependent upon how many curveballs life throws at me before that time.
I am excited for this season to kick off! I hope that I can keep up with it all. I have for the last 6 years, but this year, I seem to have taken on a giant endeavor. It promises to be a fun, exciting, and special season. Please, join me on this awesome ride!
Sprinkle the world with sparkle! -Kim
