Today we are catching up with the daily listing club on Folksy, the September Sellers. It isn`t a big club with lot`s of members but it keeps going month after month with a different name each time.
Many nowadays are time poor and cannot make enough spare time to help with the promotion of all others so they don`t take part. It is very time consuming, time that could be spent making, which is of course much more enjoyable. Many of the crafters juggle full time jobs as well as families, not sure how they have any spare time at all. But I do believe creating is something crafters have to do and even if we have less sleep, we find the time.
Although it does take up valuable time, it also is a support system for the club members. We can report sales, complain of lack of them and tell of events in our lives, good or bad and know that someone is there to listen. Not to mention, offer cheers, congratulations or commiserations where needed. So it is so much more than it seems and I for one hope that it will continue and grow again as it deserves to.
Anyway, waffle over.... or maybe not.
Yesterday I took my youngest grandson into the city because he loves the bus so much. Now I didn`t mean to do it...... well.... maybe I did, but shouldn`t have. Oh dear, confession time, yes, I bought some more yarn. Well it was sitting there, looking gorgeous, begging to be made into something and.... and.... I just couldn`t help myself. Oooops.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
I was awake before the sun,
still dark, night wasn`t done.
Slowly the sky turned lighter
very gradually getting brighter.
Still the sun didn`t appear,
the horizon it had yet to clear.
The sky began to turn pink,
then orange, quick as a wink.
Then began the slow rise
every sunrise a lovely surprise.
The colours amaze me every day,
more beautiful than words can say.
Now we have cold each morning
not helped by the days dawning.
As Autumn begins to bite
the sun really has to fight
to warm up the world
and tempt out those curled
up snug in their cosy bed,
who only appear to be fed.
Then once more the day flows
as the sun reaches higher and glows!!

I miss this group! One day I will make enough items to rejoin :-) Great to see all the lovely handmade items.
ReplyDeleteLinda what a lovely succinct summary of the listing club! I do so love it, but as you say time is not there for me to join in every month. However, when I'm not part of it I'm longing for the the next month when I will be able to!
