craft fair FAIL

So I made tons of items for this craft fair. I handmade price tags, bags, signs. I was really happy with everything i did.

the day came .Toby woke up late and we didn't leave until 7:30. Then there was a road closer so we had to go a different way. we got into Temprance at about 8:20 but we were hungry so we so we didn't get to the church until like 8:50. We didn't know how to set up our canopy, we had to get tons of help with that. My table was to small for all my items. We forgot our chairs so we had to get some from a friend.

I only had three sales all day and two of them were to people I knew. I didn't even make the 10$ back from the cover fee. so i lost money being there. from gas, cover fee, and not just working the day. Then it started raining and what ever people that might have been look where scared away. then i got my fingers smashed trying to take the canopy down.

i'm not even sure if i want to try to do another craft fair again. i mean if this is how its going to be every time then its not fun. not that many people came.l I was most upset that nobody from my family came, not a one. and everyone in jessicas family came. heck they helped her sell.

so to be such a downer, but i just need to get this off my chest.

i finished some one elses WIP's. the person passed away, and the daughter in law wanted to see how some of the items would look once they were finished. so she gave me all of the persons yarn and other craft suplies.

these two just needed a little work . the hoodie only needed buttons, the jacket only needed a collar and buttons. i made a little blanket to go with the jacket.

i've been trying to sell a few of my crafted items on ebay. but so far nobodies bidding on them. :(

i was supposed to be saving the money in my paypal account for a gift for toby. but then i saw things on ebay that i wanted. barbie shoes and stands. i need them for the county fair.
