700 And Counting!

Thank you to everyone for a milestone of 700 check-ins.

I really appreciate your interest in the goings on here at SideCapers Macrame.

To be honest, blog writing is very new to me. I took quite a while to convince myself that I had anything interesting to share. Now I strive to be as thorough as possible in my explanations of the purses that I make without being boring and redundant.

I have decided to write as though you have completed basic projects before, so if there is a portion that you do not understand and wish to know how to arrive at a certain point, please ask and I will explain further.

Again, I thank you for taking an interest in someone who has re discovered the art of macrame.

Continue moving forward and Be Creative!

It Is All Guess Work

I wish I could figure what appeals to most individuals and have it on hand. I realize we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes, but when you are making a common product it is hard to gauge color schemes.

I could start with the seasons; darker colors for Fall and Winter and pastels and sunny colors for Spring and Summer. There is still no guarantee that what you make will sell. My dilemma is no matter how much people love what I make, they want something other than what I have.

I am becoming more inclined to wait until someone asks for something specific, but the problem is they want it now, already made.
What to do.
