T-Minus 6 Days
Less than a week now until Stitches Needles n' Guns. I spent most of my last craft days working on skull & crossbones medallions that can be finished to magnets, pins, or pendants. Some homework on Derby team colors may have some positive returns. Also, I remembered, oh yeah. Valentine's Day, so did 2 more (total of 3 now) heart shapes that once held Mrs. Fields chocolates (oh, like 4 total?)-- if anyone has access to those in the days to come, let me know. I used up most of what I had for this show. Also, the Altoids Smalls are new enough I have very few of them to begin with.
I had enough forethought to dedicate any free time today to actual show prep- pulling everything up, packaging, labeling. I had forgotten how frickin' cute my little winged dust-catchers are. I'm basically bringing everything and hoping for the best. Not that I'm putting everything out at once, I don't think. Clutter = bad. It would be really cool if I could go to one more craft fair and yet manage not to do any new product for the hypothetical future one. I ... have a LOT of stuff. I have plans to have a sale/clearance bin that may entice. The medallions at least are Etsy-worthy. Once this is over, I'll put up listings.
I'm just afraid that after all this work, I won't sell much at all. I don't think I have a concrete goal or anything. The only reasonable one I have at the second is to give away all my cards at least (I need to get new ones made that list my Facebook page). The Arisia success could be an indicator, or just false hope generator.
And just like me, I've already picked out my outfit for vending. I will definitely do my best to take some pictures for posterity.
Don't suppose anyone's planning on going to the show? It wouldn't suck to see a familiar face or two.
