Whoo hoo! I only have TEN more parks to visit and I will have hiked at least a mile in each Maryland state park. Yesterday I went to Franklin Point and it was gorgeous out. TheEngineer and I did 2.5 miles on an easy trail and I wasn’t even a little winded. That said, my blood sugar wasn’t happy...

Finished the commission crown this afternoon, and bought a bunch of grapevine wire and ribbon. MisterMoonbeam and I went out to dinner tonight together, but he’s still not feeling the greatest. He’s going into the office tomorrow, so he is feeling a little better. TheEngineer and I are heading...

I received another commission last night - this one for a standard $48 floral crown. My seamstress is going to a faerie festival this weekend! I told her I would be interested in a barter, if she would agree to alter one of my corsets in exchange, and she quickly agreed! I’m so happy to do that...

I’ve ordered a bunch of little things to make my display better. I’ve got thoughts. lol I’ve already sold some things, so I will be heading back to the store later this week to add signage and more product. I’m starting to feel anxious about creating inventory for my show at the end of May...

My well-being is much improved today. I think I puked up everything that was causing me issues last night! MisterMoonbeam has had diarrhea all day - he should have vomited like me! :( I’m sad for him. TheEngineer came over this morning and together we went and visited my first-ever...

I only managed to finish one headband today. In the morning, I had an appointment with a bookkeeper, who I ended up hiring. They’re going to do pretty much everything - I just send in my receipts and give them access to my Square account, and they file my quarterly sales taxes and give me the...

I made two more tentacle headbands today; both were rainbow. Front - back

Yay we have power! We went to a hotel last night so we could all shower, and when I got home this morning there was electricity. My house smells horrid though and every room is a mess. I feel very unmotivated but stuff needs to be handled. MisterMoonbeam drove into work again today and I...

Ugh. Today is bleh. We had a massive thunderstorm here Saturday night and we’ve now been without power since then. There are like 13 poles down in our development and easily 50 or so trees. Three of our neighbors have trees on their roof. Thankfully, the trees that came down on our property...

I’m home and I’m starting to become anxious again. I have SO MUCH to do to get ready for the next event, and that’s on top of all of the regular day to day stuff. My to do list is a mile long. I need to pay bills and budget and order things. MisterMoonbeam took a half day in the afternoon...

Some quick photo drops! Day 2 at Ocean Renaissance had me up at 3 am, anxiously using phone apps to redesign my booth layout. I went from 8 feet of space to 12.5 feet of space, PLUS, I had an entire side aisle to the left to put my chairs! The unfortunate part is I didn’t have any extra...

I was really hoping to make my booth fee ($187) back this weekend. Y’all, I did more than double that in the four hours I was open today. Squeeee! MisterMoonbeam and I coordinated outfits, and people asked him for pictures. I absolutely believe he was the best dressed pirate there! At the...

OMG. I had JUST finished setting up my booth, and the vendor coordinator came over and bought my most expensive piece! She had a difficult time deciding between the two largest headpieces I brought, and she said she might buy the other if it doesn’t sell tomorrow! 😆😆😆 It was amazing!! Also...

The van is all loaded up, except for the roof storage thingy. MisterMoonbeam said tomorrow morning is best for that, and I’m not gonna argue since my luggage isn’t packed yet. I made two headbands and corsage sets today but then discovered that my cat Harry peed on some new flowers I just...

Here are the two fabulosities I was able to make the last two days. I’m still hoping I can squeeze in a pink one tomorrow. These are full floral crowns with multiple flower stems. I’m selling them for $88. I don’t know that anyone will buy them, but they make my heart super happy just to...

I wanted to see what my booth looks like at night. It’s so pretty!!! The rug wasn’t even in this pic, but I don’t even care. 🥰

I’m leaving for my first event on Thursday morning and time is SHORT. I woke up this morning anxious about all I need to do and what I don’t have ready yet. 🌼 I did get my California commission completed, but I have two tentacle headpieces for different people in Virginia to make still. One has...

Thanks.

It’s me! Lately I have been unhappy with how short I cut my hair, but today I’m okay with it. I’m out to see Avenue Q with DarkKnight and MisterMoonbeam tonight.

Gah! Just realized I needed to edit my last post - my acorn pendants are $10, not $20. Today I am home alone for a bit, as MisterMoonbeam has to go in to the office in Dulles. I’m in the middle of making a to-do list of things I still need to get finished for Ocean Renaissance. I was thinking I...
