Every
year I chose a “theme” for my original designs, whether it be kitchen towels,
sweaters, hats, mitts, booties, or slippers. I did Chameleons last year and my
special/original designed Slippers went over big ... I even had repeat orders for
them: calls came in before and after the Bazaar season ;-) The year before last
I worked my designs around colorful sea slugs and the colorful giant maxima sea
clams.
I only
make 1 of each design so my customers are assured that they have bought an item
no one else has; I never repeat a design. Ever … firstly, is the fact that I get
bored easy and doing repeats of the same thing over and over and over would
drives me nuts and take the fun out of my designing creativity; and secondly,
because that is the trademark of my in-home-Shoppe business …
O.R.I.G.I.N.A.L.I.T.Y.
I also
made 2 very special pairs of Chameleon Slippers for my 2 year old grandson -
and they were really cute on his little feet as he ran through the house :-D
This year I'll be focusing on colorfully
patterned exotic frogs and lizards – that is my ‘theme’ for 2017 designs; I may
try something designed after exotic flowers too, but we’ll see where things go
and how much time I have to dink around before the new Bazaar season begins the
end of October 2017.
I like
this frog’s color scheme: and I had the yarn on hand ;-)
Spotted Poison Dart Frog
These
slippers only used 2 main colors and a scrap of black for the eyes, so they
worked up fairly quickly last night; I started them after Supper and finished
them around midnight:
