Making more bonnets ..

I had a call from craft exhibition organizer last Tuesday, she proposed a stand in Palexpo as a part of "Les Automnales" : Une des nouveautés des Automnales 2012: place aux artistes! Le Salon des artistes indépendants et des créateurs. http://www.automnales.ch/fr/salons-paralleles/place-aux-artistes-0-2971

She also proposed, if I agreed to give 2 times sewing lesson for a duration of 45 minutes each lesson (basic sewing, easy project, like making a small bags or a "pochette" or pouch) she could give 50% off for the stand price. Interesting? ... yes! I'd like to participate .. although I asked my self, sometimes, am I ready? .. but this is exactly what I wanted for so long .. an exhibition of my own work!. 

I keep thinking, discussing with my husband how we could do it. I mean, we have nobody (you do know that, don't you?) .. but I may look for help, a friend, babysitter or don't know who or how we manage this, but we must keep optimistic that we can do it.

So, first I have to "organize" my time. That's the most important part.
I need to pick which items I could do more and do it fast, which project that needs less hassle and that people would like to have, the item that they need, especially in line with "Automnales" theme. So I came up with bonnets and mittens first. Next I may finish bags, cushions and skirts, then let see what else I could come up with .. maybe shawls and kids dresses (if I have enough time) ...

Simple math: if I could make at least 3 items per-day, how many items I could get within a month? (yes, weekends count, too!!) .. I work overtime, I know .. but I have no choice ..
