Then summer came and I am not a fan of the heat so I was limited in my opportunities to sell collars. Pets go outside, you know? I decided that summers will be my down time. I can work on wholesale, consignment, business planning, making inventory, etc. So I booked my next shows for September-December.
During the fall shows, I actually started making my money back and then a bit more. It was exciting to see people appreciate my hard work. They recognized me at events, emailed me to make more collars for new pets so they could match existing ones, and even sent me pictures of their pets wearing the collars and playing with the toys. I managed to buy a new sewing machine. I now make 4 sizes of collars instead of one, toys for both cats and dogs, and even started making a couple pet beds too. <----- My dog stole himself the large one but at least I get to see him enjoy it everyday.
I have a huge notebook that I try and add to constantly; booth ideas, product ideas, patterns, etc.
I have shows lined up 2 a month through May including Renegade Craft Fair! This one really makes me feel like I'm making progress. plus you can buy my whole line of collars at Harts n Crafts if you're ever in the Waco area.
