venshida Thanks, I was at Michaels two days ago, and they had the soy wax that you put in the microwave. My funds were low, so I did not purchase it. Hopefully, next week, I will buy a bag and test it out.

This year I have started something new. In the past, I never took time to analyze what products sold well what items were not selling and where I am getting more of my sales. This year, I sat down and considered all these...

venshida The funny thing though about holding on to old things the moment you do not have them with you lo and behold someone inquire about them. I would say still take the slow movers if there is space put them in the back just in case someone decide they want the old...

I hope I am not breaking any Mylot rules, but I just discover this site and love it. I am spending more time there now than on Facebook. Even though, I am still in the learning phase I really love it.

Every time, I turn my TV to HGTV it is showing House Hunters. I use to like HGTV, but I think they have gone overboard with this non-stop House Hunters. Anybody sick of this show?

venshida I guess a lot depends on what you are looking for. I prefer to see shows where they show you how to create stuff.

I went to my favorite craft store to purchase cotton yarn, and I saw several skeins of bamboo yarn. I am not familiar with bamboo yarn, and was curious to know if it is similar to cotton yarn.

venshida I have not tried it yet, but will try it eventually.

I have some extra fabric not enough to make a top, and I thought maybe adding crochet to the top. It is a simple project. I am going to gather the bottom and sew it to the crocheted section. If it comes out good, I will make other...

Well, I have not sewed anything in over two or three years. Last week, I went to Target and ventured over to the hair accessories area. I saw headbands for $7.99 really simple stuff. I thought I can make some of those myself. So,...

venshida Yea, I guess the simple things cost so much because there are so many people who do not have the skills to do somethings for themselves, or choose not to.

venshida Sorry to stay so long to respond, stuff came up at home. Anyway, I am hoping to sell them in my booth. I could not figure out how to set up the sewing machine since it's been such a long time since I use it. So, I am busy reading the manual and figuring out.
