Well, that’s NEOS over for another year and I’m absolutely exhausted! As I’ve said before, you wouldn’t think that just sitting behind an embroidery machine and talking to people would be so tiring, but you can take my word for it that it’s totally draining
But I should definitely not complain because it was such a successful show - I was astonished when I counted up the number of things that I sold, and the number of commissions that I accumulated. The three pieces that I posted here (the crows, the deer and the salmon) were all sold as were a lot of others
Not only that, but there was actual competition for some pieces! I could have sold some of them several times over, and it got to the point where I promised to produce copies of some things. Here are two of the pieces that I had to stitch for a second time to satisfy a second customer. Thank goodness that this kind of embroidery can easily be done several times over!
Next time perhaps I should produce a forest of Bird Trees!
And this Autumn Landscape could go on and on!
Wow !!! You do amazing work. I love your designs. Congratuation !!!! I am so happy for you.

Hi Mia, Congratulations on your successful NEOS show!! Your embroidery pieces are always beautiful and stunning so that it is not surprising that you not only sold everything that you had made, but could have sold many pieces several times over. Congratulations on all of your new commissions that you made during the show too. Hopefully, you will get even more commissions from the people who are introduced to your embroidery pieces from friends of those who purchased your works at the show.

Hi Mia, I am so happy for you that NEOS was such a great success, and to get some commissions is terrific. You will be one busy lady, after recovering from such a busy time. The birds are amazing, I can see why there was competition for your embroidery pieces, you are so talented, with a varying array of subject designs. WELL DONE, you should be very proud of yourself, as we all are.
Sandra.

I am not surprised about folks clamoring for those two pieces. The more you look at them, the more there is to see.

Congratulations on your huge success. I can see why the birds in the tree were so popular, they are so bright and refreshing to look at, they cheer the soul and bring a smile. What a happy feeling.
The fall embroidery is also cheerful with a beautiful sky giving us good thoughts. After so much trauma around us, these help us to feel some comfort.
