I’ve been really busy with my business. I feel like I’ve reached a crossroads with it. I need to go bigger, and it’s a struggle because I am only one person. I’ve had a few friends come over and continually want to be involved, so that’s been really helpful. I definitely can only make so much on...

I’ve been missing MisterMoonbeam something terrible this week - he’s in Arizona. No way was I gonna go with because Arizona in July sounds like absolute hell. Still, I wish I was with him. He promised to send me dick pics but so far I haven’t gotten one. He says tonight! TheEngineer stayed over...

I had a good show this past weekend. I made $2750 in the two days I was there. Not the best show but not the worst either! I am happy though - this will pay down a chunk of my startup costs that are marinating on a credit card, and I can purchase some materials for the next show. I’m going to be...

Photo drop BugGirl came over this weekend and did a bunch of cleaning in exchange for some cash. Part of what she helped me with is reconfiguring my studio space. I’m stealing the yoga area of the gym, to put my scrapbooking stuff and beading supplies there instead. She moved over a gray kallax...

I’ve been up til midnight working on my business the last two nights. I glued up a tentacle headband wrong this weekend - the tentacles were spaced too closely together, so tonight when I started adding flowers, I found myself having to painstakingly put on hydrangeas individually to make it...

My dental appointment yesterday was awful but it was also good. I cried nonstop, pretty much. The new office was very considerate and kind, and helped me through it. My teeth are clean and I now have a follow up appointment scheduled to get rid of two tiny cavities, and to get the attachments...

I am a ball of stress and exposed nerves. Tomorrow is my first dental appointment in…hold on while I try and figure that out. 2019? Wow. That’s longer than I thought. I have one Xanax left from then, and I will be taking that tonight so I can sleep. I was having an emotional day yesterday...

I went clothes shopping yesterday and I bought the hippiest outfit I’ve ever owned. 😂

Photo drops of some headpieces I’ve made: Fall Fabulosity commission: “In the Wake of Autumn Wings” - it has a cute little owl! I need to get this boxed up and mailed out. It’s going to Virginia. I made this Fall Fabulosity with leftover pieces from the first. This one will be part of my...

The tea party and swap & shop I hosted yesterday went very well, and 20 people came. All of the sellers made sales and asked to come back next year! I might make it an annual thing - it was a lot of fun, though I am now tired AF from a very busy weekend! I need to make some to-do lists this...

I had an okay show this weekend. It was at my city’s Pride festival. I made 12x my booth fee, which sounds great, though the booth fee was only $50! A show is considered a success if you make 10x the fee, so yay, I guess. lol I guess $601 in 5 hours is pretty good, though the last hour we...

I’m having to split this up in little entries because I’m busy already today. I woke up at 5 am and started making lists. First on the list - don’t ever agree to do a wedding, host an event and vend at two other events in a single month, omg! This morning I was out of core power protein shakes...

I received an email that the store where I have my endcap is closing, so yesterday morning so went over to clear it off and bring home my inventory. Well, I ended up buying ALL of their flowers in stock - for $200! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing of a deal this was; I am going to be...

Today BugGirl game over and did some deep cleaning for me for 5 hours! She cleaned the basement bathroom, my master bedroom and then set up the rug in my garb room. The thing that took her the most time I think was the entryway - I bought new rugs there and she sat and scraped off all of the old...

TheEngineer came over on Thursday and he demoed the garb room closet and now it has a nice organizational hanging system for DarkKnight & MisterMoonbeam. I didn’t have time to paint in there but it’s still much improved! I’m very grateful that he was able to do this for us! I ordered a new...

To start, here are 3 pics of my cats I took today. It makes me sad that I only have four cats left - my poor babies. I was missing my Poppy girl bad today and was kind of in a funk about it. Anyway, here is Lenny: And then Harry & Albus: And ColePorter, hoping that I will share my...

I have 8 completed hats, and that’s gonna have to suffice for the month! I’m really happy with how they look and I’m going to set the price point at $35. Yesterday was MisterMoonbeam’s 50th birthday. He didn’t want any fuss, and he asked for 3 specific things (which he got): sushi, a massage...

I had therapy yesterday and I have knocked back to just once-a-month visits instead of every other week. That feels good. She told me she thinks I could probably shift to just see her on an as-needed basis, but I felt more comfortable weaning myself off the help slowly. ☺️ I have three hats...

Thank you for the ideas!!! I appreciate it, for reals. That said, it has been drilled into my head by like a hundred posts on various vendor pages, that every item needs a price sticker, because people don’t read and they also don’t like to ask for help. When my booth pics were submitted for...

Second day vending at my first outdoor show. We had next to no product and still pulled AMAZEBALLS numbers!! $4,345 total for the weekend. I am a little in shock. I guess my stuff is good!
