Well, You Never Know!

Once upon a time...
I think I've told the story, before.
I was helping along with another
 young woman, in one of those
situations where someone 
must be on the spot, but
the regular work was quickly done.
My friend had a new magazine.
From it we took patterns.
She shared her stash with me.
We hand sewed these stars.
Having gotten close, again,
she reminded me...
...so, I made one.

I made a few more!
These were for a woman who
understood I might not be able
to get them done.

In the mean time, I made what
my fancy dictated.  I found it
relaxing, enjoyable and
somewhat addicting.
I sold some in October
and November of last year.

Fast forward a few months.
I thought I'd try it with
patriotic themed stars.
Yup, they sold!
One set was bid up to over
nine times it's starting
price.

I think they all sold, except this set.
So, I re listed it.
Just in case.
Might just as well give it a shot.
Well, there are bids on
this set.
Please note: "bidS"
Well, you never know.

Added this set...

...and this one, today.
One has a bid,
already!
I guess I'll get going
on the Christmas ones before
long.  I could make
more patriotic stars,
but they might not ship in time
for the fourth
of July.
I don't make much on these.
I do get a little
thrill when someone
likes my work enough
to buy it.
Then, when they come
back for more!
Wow!
Just shows ta go ya --
you never know,
'til you try.
