Craft Show Tips and more...

ok, so on Sept 8th, i hav edecided to do an unscheduled craft show with a few of the reat ladies from ETSY PITTSBURGH street team.

i have the 10x10 tent so we can chill out. lol and thouught what the heck, maybe i can make afew extra bucks.

so here are my tips for doing a successful show:
1. bring alot of change - people like to break big bills. no change, no sale!!
2. make friends withyour neihbors, they are a great way to pass time and you might get an extra sale.
3. bring a friend, it helps to have someone there in case you need to us ehte potty or just stretch your legs.
4. DISPLAY!!!!! make sure to have an attractive display. different heights will catch their eyes.
5. Business cards and photos of your work!!! people will take a card and maybe remember for a gift or look thru your photos and see something lse they want.
6. bring snacks!!! you dont want to spend all your money on eating while you are there. lol

hope those help, i know i have more but my mind is in a mad rush to finish some more car pillows for the car/craft show onthe 8th.

LAST CAR PAYMENT!!! UUGGHHHH!!!

SO GUESS WHAT????!!!

my damn car is having problems... figures.

it would be absurd to think of a few months without a car payment!!!!

yes, i know this has nothing to do with my designs BUT if i dnt have a car i cant get the yarn for new designs. HA, there now it does...

i am taking it in stride but am still peeved off!!!

the serpintine belt broke and i could barely control the car to get home. both kids in the car. SCARY!!!!

well, i am hoping it will be an easy fix but am not seeing my luck as good right now.

so help me out and visit my site and buy a hat. thanks.

TOO EARLY TO BE AWAKE!!!!

Ok, so here it is 5:30 AM!!! my daughter woke up and had to go potty. we took care of that and got her back to bed.

NOW I CAN NOT GET BACK TO SLEEP!!!!!!

so do i just lay in bed, close my eyes and pray i can get back to sleep.
OR
do i pick up yarn and PRAY i dont make any stupid mistakes while crocheting still half asleep.

WOW!!! it is early!!! i am not used to this and BTW IT SUCKS!!!!

hope yal slept in!!!!

My ETSY experience...
