hi i'm looking for a pattern, that appears on the package's of the charles craft receiving blanket. it's a white lamb, with the date of birth and weight in green, and the baby's name(Tamie) in pink. thanks for any help. sensenom00@wanadoo.es

Those huge craft shows are both good and bad .I could walk around and look at crafts forever - but on the other hand - there's just SO MUCH to see - it's overwhelming . When there are so many crafters - the competition is extreme. I found I can make more money at the smaller ( but well attended) fairs. I think the Chinese stuff is a thorn is everybody's side. More now than ever . When I did fairs - I'd post a sign - but not where everyone just passing by could see.... "All Original Ideas - made 100% by me" . If I posted that where everyone could see it - the words Original Ideas would attract everyone that that wanted to copy a new idea.( My booth would be flocked ! LOL ) I put small signs in amongst my things ,so the serious lookers could see it. I'm really wondering if there will even be craft shows down the line thanks to all the imports. Anyway - thanks for the report !!! I'm looking forward to going to the next show.

Does anyone have instructions for making the receiving blanket baby dolls made from rolling thermal receiving blankets, embroider eyes and mouth, and put on little baby caps?

Glad to be of help. We do, of course, expect to see pictures when you're done. Hope you don't get too bored at the conference.
