Love the bears and that poor baby's face in the other post is one of utter concern isn't it. Hope the best friend stays around for a long time. Have a happy holiday and I great week.

I can quite understand the reaction those bears caused - they must bring so many good memories with them. Lovely fat quarters - great colours and tiny patterns - and what a fabulous collection of sewing threads. I'm sure they will be well used in no time at all given the amount of sewing you do. Hopefully, those challenges life has thrown you will resolve themselves, your mojo will return and if it doesn't it's Easter - enjoy the holiday and forget work for a wee while.

To be honest, that's one of the main reasons I gave up doing craft fairs, al that work. But enough doom and gloom, you'll be fine. Have some time off and then one day, another idea will hit you and you'll be off gain. It's just a temporary blip...<br />Sending hugs, LLJ 13 xxxLunch Lady Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636079950656858885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-35384840355000710742017-04-12T09:31:44.867+01:002017-04-12T09:31:44.867+01:00Hi Annie, I can't believe that you sold so lit...Hi Annie, I can't believe that you sold so little maybe it would be better near Christmas.

I is good fun especially when you get a sale but it's blumming hard work. I bet you will soon be buzzing with new ideas before long my friend <br />Lynn 16 xxxLynn Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683485991861662348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-19064414261933050532017-04-12T08:33:44.971+01:002017-04-12T08:33:44.971+01:00Morning Annie.

I know I would have come down if the time had been different - to get to you for 10am would have been a push no matter which day it was on, I must admit. Sad though, after all your hard work.<br />Those bears are really sweet - and obviously meant a lot to the recipients. Well done. Great bargain with those threads - and like you say - they will come in at some point...<br />Take care.
