Not only is it good as a visual but someone might buy it. Also keep a rosary or two on hand for people to buy.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970843028240002613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-72255936789784589522011-09-14T22:20:02.760-04:002011-09-14T22:20:02.760-04:00If the bread winning ever suddenly fell upon my sh...If the bread winning ever suddenly fell upon my shoulders, we would be in big trouble. I'm a papercrafter and I doubt I would ever be able to sell enough cards or scrapbook layouts to pay for anything. You are a strong woman.<br /><br />I have one of your snoods, and while I don't wear it to mass, I absolutely love it! I wear it in the kitchen and when I am cleaning. Jacob actually calls it my "chef's hat" and I suppose it sort of looks like one. (So you can add Chef's Hat to your list of uses) There is actually a picture of me wearing it here: http://sabbyink.blogspot.com/2011/09/labor-day-weekend-in-pictures.html<br />(By the time the picture was taken it had gotten positioned back on my head a bit, but 12 zillion hours of canning will do that)<br /><br />I've also purchased a Chaplet from your other store and it was so much nicer than I expected. It actually brought tears to my eyes when I received it.K10https://www.blogger.com/profile/14339388196972488383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-91873574259421810012011-09-14T14:28:50.778-04:002011-09-14T14:28:50.778-04:00There will always be a disapproving looks, particu...There will always be a disapproving looks, particularly when you do anything outside the norm!<br /><br />When I take our children out during school hours, at least one person will ask them "and why aren't YOU in school today?" Or "playing hooky, eh?"<br /><br />I don't think they mean anything bad by it, just making conversation. When we respond that they are homeschooled, however, the next question goes something like - "oh, really? what's the capital of... " or something like that! I've had doctors in the emergency room ask my children math questions - at midnight on a Saturday! ;)<br /><br />Your snoods are lovely, by the way. My husband's fine with a mantilla (we've always believed, even as fervent protestants, that women should be covered, at least in worship) but a snood might be a step too far for him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-79002765481595276182011-09-14T13:07:28.944-04:002011-09-14T13:07:28.944-04:00Thanks Baroness!

I'm not sure it would have worked with this clerk, because she seemed determined to disapprove (enough so that it was kind of funny... especially once I was out of the building!) but I imagine it would work a lot of the time. I've been thinking of keeping one in each bag so that I can show them what they look like too!<br /><br />Thanks Mrs. M! I'm so glad you like them! And you'll definitely have to let us know if you do open a shop because when I do shop I love to buy gifts from my online friends!Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-2439424606920231782011-09-14T12:01:34.655-04:002011-09-14T12:01:34.655-04:00I'm so impressed that you're working so ha...I'm so impressed that you're working so hard. It had never occurred to me before the rise of Etsy that products from the hands and heart had a real place in the world any more, but it just thrills me that they do. People seem to really still value the handcrafted. I'm practicing some skills of my own to see if I have what it takes to open up shop (don't worry - it's neither for jewelry nor headcoverings!) <br /><br />I have more than one of your beautiful Full of Grace Creations necklaces. In fact, I wore one of them to my Catholic wedding. Readers, if you haven't checked them out, you definitely should! They're even prettier in real life than in pictures.Mrs. Molnarniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143000702247305571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-51729589134565318092011-09-14T11:51:56.233-04:002011-09-14T11:51:56.233-04:00The clerk probably thought you were making a dress...The clerk probably thought you were making a dress for Sadie. <br /><br />As for the clerks reaction, I have a suggestion for you. I too used to be cautious about telling people I was making dresses for historical reenactment and corsets and things. They would look at me weird and I would feel embarrassed. But then something changed. I watched my friend make purchases and the very same clerk seemed so enthusiastic and cheerful. I finally puzzled it out to how you act when you are sharing with others what you are doing. If you are wildly enthusiastic and seem passionate about what you are doing it has the effect of getting others interested in what you are doing. Descriptive imagery also helps. <br /><br />Your snoods could be, "a modern update to the chapel veil for church". It is also useful in keeping little fingers from pulling your hair. If you're having a bad hair day it's a wonderful solution. It keeps your hair from sticking to your neck. It keeps your hair out of your face. It keeps your hair from getting dirty when you are cleaning or playing with your girls. Then you can describe the beautiful fabrics you are using. Let her know you made a snood from a beautiful piece of white Dupioni Silk that you just fell in love with and can't wait to try other colors. <br /><br />Be in love with what you are doing and express it when people ask. If you do that people will be much more likely to accept what you do and not question your "taste". If you are embarrassed about what you are doing, many are likely to give you weird looks and "sympathize" for you.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970843028240002613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-26396266679107351242011-09-14T09:07:27.917-04:002011-09-14T09:07:27.917-04:00I know it's tough being a traditional catholic...I know it's tough being a traditional catholic.
