Here it is, the end of October, and soon this never-ending (though oddly welcome) rain will end, at least briefly, and allow those intrepid souls who wander off to craft fairs to do their holiday shopping...I'm counting on it!
First is Christmas Chaos, 4 days of selling from Nov 8 through 11...and then a few days break, and it'll be Earthly Delights-Winter Wonderland...November 16 through 18..(whew!!!)
Here is some of my newest work...hoping for some 'appreciation' for these hats in the weeks coming up...
I'll be listing these in my Etsy shop in the coming week, just in case an online sale is actually in the cards for me...
And this is retirement?

Should I Stress or Should I Roll...
Oh dear, just looking at my holiday craft fair schedule...and worrying, just a tiny bit...on the one hand, if I do really well at all of them I'll be happy (having written off this year, generally speaking, as a not so great one financially, at least) but if I do too well too soon, what'll I do?
I feel as if I have to quickly create a bunch of new stuff on the off-chance that I may have little to offer by the end of November...on the other hand, if things go as they have the rest of the year, I'll have a bunch of stuff left over...*sigh*
Trying to guess what will happen is worse than the stock market, I don't quite know how to feel about any of it..besides killing myself trying to make things that take hours each to complete is sort of counter-productive...
Here's my schedule (not counting my weekly Farmer's Market, which will be all but ignored for the month of November, since these holiday (and indoor!) fairs happen, always, on weekends)
Duncan Christmas Chaos -November 8 thru 11
Earthly Delights Winter Market -Nov 17-18
Mill Bay Winter Holiday Fair- Nov 24
Shawnigan Lake Winter market - Dec 1st
Did I overdo it? Too late now..everything is prepaid (naturally) so couldn't afford to back out if I wanted to...
Silly, yes? I know there are people everywhere who wish they had outlets to sell their work...but don't ..
Sometimes too much is simply too much..maybe I'll slow down when I'm 70....
In the meantime, here's the output (so far) for the week...
