More like suck fair

So the crafts fair was pretty much a bust. I just feel lucky that I was able to make back my table fee and a lil extra(which I promptly spent at the fabric store after we left), because after talking to most of the vendors I'm pretty sure me and my mom were the only ones. It was still really nice to see people look bored and then see their eyes light up when they saw my table :) The majority of people were not my demographic. I totally called my first customer, I motioned to ed when I saw a mother and daughter who looked like they were probably from the west side.They fell in love with a poilu and bunny. It really wasn't a crafts fair so much as old toys and crap :/ I'm glad Glub Glub the fish sold, I was pretty positive that he was one that people would have to see in person. He is going to the baby of a marine biologist :) Violet! I'm so glad you did not waste your time or money coming to this!!! I would have felt responsible! I did however make friends with the ladies that were selling next to us, they make those babies that look super realistic. I had laughed so much by the end of the day my throat was sore, so all in all it wasnt a total waste I guess :)


We were supposed to stay till 4 but we left at 2 through the side door and there was no way the guy putting it on was gonna come talk to ed about it. Thank god for a tough lookin husband! Ed's support has been so amazing, he really believes in me and the stuff I make, I definitely see grandma in him and that kind of support is priceless<3 I don't want to veer off here but this post will be scrambled as it is...I miss Grandma so much, especially with the holidays coming up.


Last week we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Tommy, still working on sizing the pics. Then I started reading twilight and have been totally sucked in. I didnt know anything about it but was desperate for something to read and $11 for 300 some pages was the right price. I'm now trying to pace myself on the 3rd book because I dont want it to end!! Eeep! we're going to the late showing tonight, i cant wait!!! Then Left 4 Dead came out and we spent 2 days at the office playing 4 player till midnight. Gah that game is fun! I love being able to hold my own playing games, I even got an achievement that none of the boys got, in yo face!!I guess I was pretty dead to the world last week. My mom was worried that I was dead, like they usually do when you forget to call :) Welp, I am so out of it I think I'll end this here. Pictures soon.

some new things for the fair

Made a few new things for the fair, all but one will be up on my etsy soon.

My table

My table, as you can see I didn't put too much effort into it which meant less pre show stress for me!

CFH plush!!

2nd shipment of Ed's cds

That was yesterday's shipment I was caught up for about 20 min. :) Tonight we decided I should make some plush dead babies, the Cry for Help mascot, so I made a mini one to go with the signed CDs and a medium sized one on it's own.

Super Special Edition CFH package!

I also made a new Poilu today, Pascal!

Heya!

Soooo....I have some pretty good news. Last night at the video store I ran into a teacher I worked with a year or so ago when I was with Easter Seals, he is super awesome and reminds me of Bill Murray so it was a pretty fun experience. Any who I told him all about what happened and he said that he has hear NUMEROUS things about this guy and pretty much that he is a douche. He told me to go to the steward for the union at the school and talk to them and to see if I can write a letter of resignation since the whole thing is bullshit but at least I wont have it on my record. That made me so happy last night, especially since he commented on what a great job I did when I was in his class :), but really anxious since I have to wait till monday morning to go back to the school. Eep!

Ed's CD is doing really well, even his Etsy shop is being bought out! Ed's programmer friend Tommy is staying in town for a couple weeks. It's been pretty fun since 1. he is not Austrian (sorry Florian!), 2. he's not a jerk (sorry Florian!),3. he's normal(sorry Florian!).

Ed has been super supportive of my job loss and has been encouraging me to sew as much as possible. So for the next 2 months,unless I get called in for an interview, all the focus is on being creative. I havent felt so happy and fulfilled in a long time. Going to sleep late with Ed, getting up early and getting bagels, snuggling and watching Hulu.com :) <3

Today were taking Tommy up the coast, and this time I'll bring my camera since I totally missed out on the giant rotting seal that was there last time :/

Uhh Halloween?....

Well i wont say Halloween was horrible but it wasn't really Halloween for me. Thursday after school I came home finished my costume,painted my nails etc. I started feeling a little funky so i lay down around 8:30pm and then went to bed a little later. When i woke up Friday morning I had a full blown sinus infection. I got up thinking if I drank some hot coffee I'd feel a little better...nope...the longer I was up the worse I felt. I was so looking forward to seeing my kindergartner's costumes and I know they were looking forward to mine aaaand I was going to be in charge of face painting, when I remembered that little bit I seriously cried :/

Gah I was so impressed with my sewing skills this year, I can't believe I didn't even get to wear my costume. Here is the only pic I took Thursday night when I finished the hat, to show ed at work. The cherry on top of the cupcake=me. I also made a fleece poncho with a flip up/down color covered with felt sprinkles.

The cherry on top of the cupcake :/



So i spent my day sleeping and watching season 5 of 90210, not a terrible day but I definitely feel like Halloween never happened....
