A woman stopped by after work tonight with her husband (drove 40 minutes to get here in rush hour traffic) and bought $263 worth of yarn!
I'm gratified that people are buying it. I seem to have a very high ratio of # of people told I have yarn for sale and # of people who buy something. But finding weavers and knitters is the more challenging part of this equation.
I've been in touch with a number of weavers' and knitters' guilds.
Most of the money will go into my mother's checking account, but I know she also needs some spending money, so I'll give her a small amount, like $20. She's been on a kick lately of wanting to buy an iron (NO) or a small fridge (NO) so I don't want to give her enough to do that.
I will go over there this weekend with an iron and iron all the clothes in her closet in one shot so she stops asking about it. I also really want to see a lifestyle suite.
Sorry, I know I talk about all this stuff incessantly. I've been on this site for years now; years ago I would do the same when I thought of nothing else but dating and finding Mr. Right; later, when I was laid off, all I ever talked about was finding a job and doing freelance work and finding ways to save money.
Here are some pix of the yarns I'm selling, which, like mom's art, are so nice to look at.
Tomorrow I work at home again. Yippee.
Sold more yarn!

Thanks for sharing more art. You have mentioned your mom's work many times...and it is a joy to see it. My daughter is an artist, so I'm always interested in anyone's work. I like the last painting with the trees especially. A scene I often think about that relaxes me. Can your mother have some of her art with her? Can she still create in the place she lives?

Wow, your mother is so, so, so talented! Just beautiful work to look at.
How much time did I spend worrying about my husband's job? Like months, stretching into years - I think this is a nice place to vent and sort things out and be supported.

I am looking for some art for my home. I live the 4h picture (second art pic). Can you post others or email me through here? I'd love to see others especially anything in blues and greys. Or anything like the waterfall pic? I mauy not be able to afford them but I'd sure like to try and help with a sale if I could!
