So today is the big day. December 2nd. The official day of the bazaar. I have my table all set. I have the right change to give back. Things are looking great. To be honest. I was a little nervous this morning before I went in to the craft show. But I did have some help coming into the show. My parents came last night to set up the table since I was at work. So this mornig all I had to do was to see if I needed to change anything around. I brought my phone with me and some crocheting to do and I WAS READY! It was a busy day and that was okay. My best friend helped out for most of it which was really appreciated. Family came and supported me as well as my mom's best friend and one of the local MPs. The good thing was that I not only got the money back from the table but I also tripled it! Not that bad for my first show. I'd say that it was a success and I will moar likley will be back for next year. I was really happy with how everything turned out. Here are some pictures from today.

Okay, Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a teeny tiny bit about the ornaments..... by 60...... since I only have 40 ornaments for the craft show.... But it feels like I've made 100 of them though! Seriously though! But I am getting closer to what I need made for the craft show. I just need to make some cell phone cases, some more cowls and maybe a few more headbandz and that will be it hopefully. On the plus side, I'm currently working on an infinity scarf for it. I'll either be modelling it as something that I can make or be selling it. I am hoping to get a picture of everything together before the craft show to show all of you. But in the mean time, here is what I have so far.
So a few months ago, I got a $100 Walmart gift card from work. So the obvious choice for a yarnaholic would be the basic necessities of life, right? Food, clothes, stuff for the house? What are these things? Seriously..... who am I kidding? These things aren't our necessities! Yarn. Lots and lots of yarn. That's what I've bought. Lots of yarn to use for the craft show that I'm going to do in December. Different choices and colours. Life is great when I'm not the one that's paying for my not-so-secret addiction.... IF we are to call it as such..... But we're not.... Since saying that I have an addiction would imply that I would have a problem..... to yarn and crocheting..... which I won't..... Because it's not an addiction. Some people may beg to differ (*ahem* mom..... dad..... rest of the family), but I say otherwise. I also got some yarn for a project that I'm doing for someone that I care about that just got some big news in the mail. I can't wait to start the project and HOPEFULLY, I can at least take a picture of it before it's sent off to the person that it will belong to after so that I can share it with all of you. Can't say too much about it now, since I haven't given it to the person yet. However. In other news.... I've been working really hard on some of the stuff that I'm going to be making for the craft show and I've been working on some orders as well! One of them is completed and the other one is just about ready to go! Both will be picked up by the time I'm doing the craft show! Super excited about finishing the order that I'm working on. I'm already done about half of the order (a hat, scarf, and a headband) and I'm currently working on the ornaments! As soon as I'm done the ornaments, I will share them with all of you. In my next post, I will hopefully show you some of the stuff that I've already made for the craft show and some progress pictures as well on what I'm making next!
