at. her. FACE

Crafty bastards is done. I don't know if it will be around next year due to the selling of the city paper...i hope so. it's good for the city. there were a lot of local and local-ish people in it this year. i think more than last anyway.
the day went probably better than i expected but not as well as i may have hoped, but i did make about 460 or so.
150 of that in credit cards which i just signed up to take.
it was frighteningly easy, and it definitely paid for itself.
the day started slow and people weren't even coming into my booth, opting instead for the popular with the bloggy set small object and spooky daddy and my paper crane (who really is probably one of the nicest people on the planet)
i was running on about 3.5 hours of sleep mostly because i was too excited to sleep, partly because i was up late sewing fake moustaches for pins and then forgot the pin backs at my house.
i guess the good news is i have a lot of stock left over for christmas. and etsy if i take that up again. i probably will leave it up until christmas at least.
and, you know...halloween....if only people gave each other gifts at halloween (which is a slightly paraphrased quote from adams morgan day)
i couldn't believe how crowded it was. there were times when it was just wall to wall people...except for my booth.
thankfully i had colleen and beck to help me pack and unpack the car (the car was so full in the morning i had to actually load colleen into the car and then pack around her) and kc came to make snarky comments. unfortunately missing two of the dumber people by the end of the day...one woman was interested in the skull purse that i had stenciled and she said something like "this is only 15?" and i explained how i got it at the bag at the thrift store and spray stenciled the skull and then proceeded to ask me if i had any longer ones...
and then the girl who picked up Fun Gus and said "what is this? Like, moss or something?" she actually bought one so i guess she can be forgiven.
highlight of the day was ben a's kid giggling with astro-NOT. that was super cute.
after we dropped colleen off, beck and i unpacked the car and flopped on the couch. i don't think it ever felt so good to sit on the couch. devin came back from brazil all smiley and relaxed.
then we went to the sushi place we went to last fall where we were treated to some pretty excellent evesdropping.
at first, it was just a constant drone of an annoying woman and i said something like "i'd like to put her and C-lin in a closet and see which one comes out" and then she treated the restaurant with tales of her trip to morocco which she was very proud of...it was one of the best things she's done in her life...and blah blah guy friends blah. no alcohol. they left. she and her friend michelle stayed blah. too grabby blah and then the golden story:
she said something like "my friend michelle thinks this is funny, although at the time, i didn't. i was walking down the street and some guy threw a cat at my face. At my FACE"
at this point i'm almost choking on my tuna tempura roll which was really big anyway.

It's kind of a great image. this annoying woman having some poor cat thrown at her face. At. her. FACE.

she probably deserved it.
oh and then the lucksmiths...but i have to get to work. i just didn't want to forget the cat thing.
