:rotfl: Just tonight. Craft fair is tomorrow although i could call them boot buddies for tomorrow and we can come up with something else. Not sure when my next fair is and ive already said on my business oage that they are lookong for a name (thats where the sweet feet and bootylicious came from).

i mean I've seen loads of hairdressers with the same name etc.

Yes that's a good point......i will sell online and at fairs but only on a small scale. I'm wondering whether I'll get away with it if I change it slightly. Maybe BootBuddy show drying system.....

I was going to suggest Welli-Dri but that's no good if you're marketing them as being for shoes as well, sorry. I hope tomorrow goes well

elf06

Welli-dri is a great name .
Wonder if I could adapt it somehow.
Thanks

Hehe, my last one, I promise!ive been having so much fun!

One for the future.
Boot Bananas - make them all yellow, stripes, gingham , plain or floral.
Customer chooses any two they like.
The visuality of this one appeals to me(apeels?)they are already banana shaped and the shoe ones even more so.
Good luck for the craft fair, let us know how it goes.

Its something I would consider buying if I saw them, save me baking my wet boots in the boiler house.

Boot bananas hahahaha love it!!

Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it. I'm not sure how successful it will be tomorrow as there is a local games on too and the weather is looking fairly decent so I'm guessing folks will go to the games. Still it's a nice wee day out and I always say so long as I cover my table cost and a bottle of wine I'm more than happy

The boot bananas/buddies/welli-dri and so helpful. I'm forever getting soaked walking the dog and these really do help speed up drying footwear. My son also has a tendency to end up soggy too so I can see me making a few sets for us alone! Plus they are reusable time and time again. My boyfriend is going to advertise them in the biking community and I was telling a friend today who's a horse rider so I'm hoping she'll advertise for me too! Very exciting!

have a good day today elf, hope the weather is good and that you sell everything and meet lots of lovely people

Was busy yesterday, grandchildren sitting and did some house cleaning while there, was so glad to get home and very tired. Lovely to get spontaneous hugs from them both. I wore linden yesterday and was very comfortable, it is just right for this weather and is not stuffy and formal, so today I will cut two more, from old stash, both in t shirt stretch cotton with patterns and contrast bands. Its very satisfying to see my stash pile go down

I do want to get into working on something like the cake tiramisu dress but am also wanting to stash bust and that will have to come first. I will be off to get an argos ceiling lamp shade today and I found exactly the same one that I have downstairs in a n facing study. It has round crystals in it and is chrome and is very much brighter than the dense pottery shade I have now in the sewing room. It is just too dark in there at night. I have the same pottery shade in my dining area, where I cut out, so have ordered two to collect. I`ll put both pottery shades into the shed as they may come in useful to someone

I'm feeling a bit of a fool.
I didn't realise the pattern notcher I ordered and have just received is only for cutting the paper pattern not the fabric.
I thought I could use it to. Are a small nick in the seam allowance at the appropriate spot but apparently that's not how it's intended to be used.
Disappointed, but it didn't cost very much.
