Well, my jewelry party yesterday ended up being a bust. Other than those participating, my friend Ruth was the only one who showed up! And yes, for those of you who know my real name is Ruth (or Ruthie), yes, we have the same name :P It gets quite confusing when we hang out together too! Here's a picture of my Mom, me, and Ruth all sitting and talking (and crafting!).
My brother is a real sweetheart and he did a lot to help me with both the set up and the tear down. He also took most of the pictures... Here's a pic of me making him work :)
The sad part about the party being a bust was that it wasn't just me there showing my work, my dear friend who runs the shop The Kilted Hedgepig was also there with her jewelry. Here's a pic of her and her sister setting up her jewelry!
So what went wrong? Well, our theory is that we simply didn't have enough time and energy to put into promoting the jewelry party. My Mom got back a week ago from a trip to Nicaragua, La (the other artist) is doing NaNoWriMo this month and is very distracted by that, and between getting ready to move and my health problems... Well, let's just say this could have been planned better.
We're not giving up! The way we figure it we had a ton of fun hanging out and chatting, and next time we'll do a better job promoting. :P We are thinking we'll try and do one late January as a Valentines day party. Hopefully that one will go better!
