I was a little hesitant about attending the SCCRA conference, since the cost of the booth was a bit expensive for my budget and I wasn’t sure how much of a return I would get.  Now that it’s over, I’m so glad I went.  I met a lot of really lovely folks and passed out a bunch of business cards and rate sheets.  A few people expressed an interest in possibly hiring me, so we’ll see if anything comes of it.  The best (and most surprising) part was that a few of the ladies saw me crocheting a scarf during some of our downtime and they pushed for me to bring my pieces in Sunday.  I checked with the coordinator and she approved it, so Sunday morning I hauled my tub o’ goodies to the court reporter’s convention.  I ended up selling several pieces, including a fairly expensive wrap.  I also received a commission for a baby blanket and beanie.  Such a wonderful bonus to the weekend!
