Ugh awake. Last night I mostly just dozed on and off so of course I now feel terrible this morning. I hired a friend to come clean today - my sunroom, living room, entry and shared yellow bathroom. I guess it’s okay to be awake now since she’s coming over earlier. I need to shower before that at...

Thanks! I lost some over the transition to the new style of boards, but hopefully my journal continues to stay intact in the future!

Thanks! Business updates! I was on the phone for an half hour with the IRS today, however, I FINALLY have a federal EIN! I still have no idea what the hold up was, or why this process took a month. I have an appointment with the bank on Wednesday to hopefully open a business bank account...

The Arizona Ren Faire was a lot of fun. I felt super cute in my costume, and over a dozen people stopped me to tell me that they loved my snail! What was super surprising about this is that they didn’t know I was wearing a snail backpack! In every single instance, I’d say thanks, and then...

Ugh I had a horrific headache all day, which would NOT let up until MisterMoonbeam came home from work in the late afternoon with Tylenol. Still, I got up and dressed, and made two headpieces: And all of the pins I painted this week now have backs glued on, and they’re actually packed up to...

I’ve been in Arizona since Sunday. I am feeling optimistic, happy and anxious, all at the same time! Lol I’ve gotten into a good routine where every morning I am focusing on painting my lasercut blanks. These won’t be finished until I return home, since they need a sealant and I’m not going to...

I wasn’t in a good headspace yesterday and I delayed packing for my trip to Phoenix until the late afternoon. At that point I had to face facts that almost nothing I owned was okay for 70-80 degree Arizona weather. I’ve lost weight again, and definitely inches. I went into a spiral and...

Business: I just sent my logo mockup back for some tweaks and I’m excited at how it looks so far! It’s exactly what I wanted! When we came home yesterday, I was able to knock out a teal headband and corsage (similar to one I had previously designed - this one went right into an extra inventory...

I had a wonderful escape with DarkKnight these last couple of days - we even got to play some of our Forbidden games! Yesterday we tackled two hikes in the Deep Creek area, including a moderate-rated trail along Cherry Creek Cove. The longer I am away from home though, the more anxious I am...

DarkKnight and I are at Deep Creek Lake, celebrating our 19 year wedding anniversary (which is tomorrow). We rented a one bedroom condo - it has two fireplaces and two balcolnies! It’s really nice. The bed was very comfy last night, thank goodness. We had some issues checking in (they close...

Well my plans went out the window for the morning. Lol I got sidetracked and made a reel showcasing my strawberry pieces, while wearing strawberry garb! I’m now back dressed in my pajamas. I fed the cats and myself some lunch, so NOW I’m ready to go downstairs and start making some headbands!

My day didn’t go as planned yesterday - I ended up crafting absolutely nothing. My seamstress friend texted me early on and said my corsets were ready for pickup, so I spent the morning setting up my booth so I could take my backdrop & sidewall curtains to her. See, they were still in the...

Thanks for that! 😅

I ended up rescheduling my banking appointment on Monday - I decided it was better to not waste my time. I have it back on the calendar for late next week and hopefully that will be good for the IRS and I’ll have my EIN then! This week has been depressing for me. I’ve been out of sorts and...

So the week has been good. I’m right on time with my headband/corsage production totals (based on what goals I set for myself). I have realized that the slap bracelet corsages I’ve been using only come in glitter/shiny and in white/black/gold. This isn’t ideal. I fruitlessly searched for...

I made two pink beetle headbands with matching corsages - and oh the little bug is so precious! I also made two burgundy & gold headbands with a gold clip-on bird, but the corsages are drying overnight. This morning I had an electrician over and he fixed a loose outlet in what used to be my...

Okay, right now I’m thinking I’m NOT going to submit to Ravenwood or GoblynCon, because I instead applied for Oakenmist Ren Faire! Keeping my fingers crossed that I get into that event. Right now I’m waiting to hear from three events (Southern Maryland Ren Faire, Oakenmist Ren Faire and...

I had a fun weekend and I have a plan for this week, so life is good! Twelve of us got together and saw DarkKnight perform in Heathers on Saturday, including my nephew from New York, TheEngineer & his wife, my two daughters, and friends. It was such a good show! I bought everyone dinner at the...

A local witchy store is having a pop up event in May and they’d like me to vend. I’m fairly certain I could handle it because it’d be small. I’m thinking about it as an alternative to the other small Ren Faire if I’m not accepted there. The Ren Faire would DEFINITELY have priority if I was...

I also wanted to post before I forget that I submitted to two other events. The Ren Faire of Southern Maryland gets like 2,000 visitors over one weekend, and they asked for an email inquiry be sent with info. It’s Memorial Day weekend and I am excited about it. It would be outdoors. So if I make...
