Today is my last free Saturday for a while. We have our family apple butter day next Saturday and then the craft shows begin. I'm just about caught up on stocking orders which means a new onslaught will occur. :)

Today I need to package up a wedding gift and do a little more inventory for our show on the 24th. I also need to finish the sample stockings I'm doing since we will be taking orders at that show. We don't usually sell many stockings at shows and I'm not quite sure why, but we're going to try one more time just to see how it goes. November is usually pretty steady with stockings and by November 30, we have to turn people away. It always goes that way. I guess people don't really get in the Christmas groove until after Thanksgiving.
