So as you all know I've been frantically sewing and trying to finish lots of projects for the craft faire I was doing on the 16th. Long story short I didn't sell one fucking thing. Not one. The only thing that was good was I bartered with another vendor. She wanted one of my purses, I got a neat handmade necklace for my mom for Christmas.
Of course the fact that I didn't sell one thing did not make me happy. I now have a huge bucket of completed stuff, that is still taking up space in my house. Some of it will be given out for Christmas, the rest will wait until friends start breeding again, since a lot of the items are baby things. The bright spot in my day was that Mouse came to hang out with me. She didn't sell anything either. Annie, the woman I work with sold 2 $2 items. We were a bunch of losers at the craft faire. One reassuring thing though was that people said that they liked my stuff. The lady across from us sold almost nothing, same with the lady next to us. Annie and I have decided we will submit our stuff to the Wally World craft faire. They get an amazing amount of foot traffic and hopefully we will sell something there.
Saturday evening, the boy got a head wound. A fell off of the couch and gouged his head. I freaked out, which made RM freak out. Luckily R kept it together and we took care of my copiously bleeding baby. So glad that R is the medical professional and not me. I mean I didn't faint or anything, but panicking is more of what I do. Two upset toddlers at once is too much when my heart is trying to burst out of my chest.
Sunday...Disneyland. It rained Saturday night which usually makes for a good day at the Mouses house. I was right. Not too crowded. Nothing like a 15 minute wait to put you in a good mood. That is like practically walking onto a ride. Note to those with toddlers, Haunted Mansion= baby meltdown. I left after waiting in line for 15 minutes and stepping into the elevator. The dark and screaming had A climbing me trying to get away. I'm just glad this wasn't my first trip or anything.
That was the end of rides for one baby for the day. Next time we'll try again, but with his much loved flashlight. I believe in conquering fears.
I am also blithely knitting along on my Secret Pal 3 gift. I got a good chunk of time to knit at the craft faire and now that I don't have "make stuff" stress, I am finding my knitting enjoyable again. Of course I do have 3 Halloween costumes to make in like a week. Oh well, here comes more stress.
