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.

small table

im a loser

so its been hard as heck trying to get all the information about this craft fair. i can't even get a call or email back from the orginazer. and my friend some how can, and never gets all of the info or just isn't telling me. this whole thing is a little frustating . she told me that i might need a tent in case it rains, so i guess that it's going to be out in a parking lot. let hope it's not bad out that day.  its also the day of toby and I's anniversary so yea.

i've been crafting up a storm for this things look
i made record bowls , picture frame earring holders, and price cards.
the record bowls are made like this .
the picure frame are made with an old lace curtain. its cut to be just a little bigger then the back piece of the frame. then you can glue it on i just shoved the back on and let a little hang over. it's not pro looking put it gets the job done.
the price cards took the longest. its made with consturtion paper, glue decrotive cutters if you got em. the paper is 12*9 so you can get 3*3 squares yay. glue two colors together. add a little edge to the front piece if you like. I got a stamper from vista printing, so i put my That1girl on the back of all the cards. and the price on the front in the area where your  name is. you can sew beads/ buttons to it. if you have post earrings you can just poke them though and put on the backer. or use a hole punch in the corner and string it to things.

i'm not sure that i will be able to make the 20 hats this month. i forgot about the grannys for like a week i made those two pink ones one day . then yesterday i made like four to catch up. I finished up the baking set its not really what i pictured in my head. but its ok i guess. i'm working on the last weding dress for the CAL. then we start making ken clothes. I made the fingerless gloves as a part of another CAL.

swap

i just got my partners name for my first craftster.org swap. in her post she said that she was very much a girl next door, and a girly girl with out the pink fluff.

i'm going to have to try to craft something that is not to wild. Something that you would see in a martha steward magazine. but i really want to try something from my Big Ass Craft book . i think i might be able to combine the two. it will take a little bit of time.

i have a month to make something and have it shipped out. so a few of my seven WIP's will have to sit.

i have to make 1 meduim , and 2 smalls .i'm not sure i can do "small"

but i think i have a really good idea of what i want to make.

i tend to make 5 times more for my swap partners then they make for me. but i don't get upset about that because i crochet/knit fast. and i like crafting.

oh no this means that i can't show off what i make until after the swap.

blogger is the new live journal

I used to love blogging in my live journal. It seemed like everybody had one.there where groups/clubs, and you could choose which people read what topics. But for some reason people stop being as into blogging. and so did i as my life got more boring , i had nothing to write about.

I'm thinking of just writing to get thing off my mind now. But how public is blogger? could anyone just read my page?

I kinda like to write about pg13 and over type things.
