While on Christmas vacation, I went a few places and did a few things. I took some knitting with me too. A fast and easy project is what I took, Nothing time consuming.
One night when I went out a young woman came up to me admiring my felted water bottle coozie. She asked me if I remembered her from a year ago admiring my water bottle coozie. I truly did not remember her but I vaguely remember the occurrence. So, she proceeded to try to refresh my memory.
She said she would like to buy one from me and I informed her I could not do it for less than $20 because it took a lot of time to make. I thought that might discourage her but she agreed that was a fair price. I told her I was not from the area and was just visiting and if she wanted to buy the one I had right there I would let her have it. She thought about it for a minute and then told me she only had $35 on her until payday and she should not make the purchase at this time. I thought that would be the end of our conversation but no it continued.
She asked me if I could make four of the felted water bottle coozies and bring them on my next visit. She said it is the perfect thing to carry to festivals during the summer. She gave me her name and phone number along with the days she works. Now will I have the time to make them? You see, I work a full time job that has a great deal of after work work to do. And will she follow through and pay for them?
