PapaCoyote's Journey: Grandma Selling Her Creations at the Idaho Center

My wife is an old so and so. Hmmmm. Let me restate that, My wife is a sew and sew. She loves to create fun things to wear from fabric. She likes to make an original creation and then go on to make another original creation. She sells these at bazaars and online (www.hattiejane.com). She does not like to sew several of the same things. She cooks the same way. She is a very good cook and I have the girth to prove this statement. When our son was still living at home, he would have a friend stay over for a night or two and of course eat with us. When his friend would say that something he had for dinner was particularly good, D would say well, you will never have it again. Seems harsh, but what he was referring to is that J never uses a recipe and so the taste she creates is a one and only taste. Not that the next effort at the same dish won't be delicious, it just won't be quite the same as the previous creation.

After long days stretching into nights of sewing, J had lots of stuff to sell at the Christmas Bazaar in Nampa. She will again have a booth in the first weekend of December at the Fair Grounds in Boise. She hopes to do even better there. It takes a lot of planning to try to show her creations in such a small allotted space as 8x8. Maybe next year she will buy two booths, but that would double her cost. Of course the cost of gas going back and forth runs up the costs pretty fast.

J does not really have to have the money for us to eat and clothe ourselves, but she loves to see the enjoyment her creations bring to the little ones and their mothers and grandmas. Men, seem to lack the ability to enjoy in the same manner. We kind of get excited by the grandkid catching that first fish or baseball. Now that is fun.
