Holy craft fairs Batman

I completed the second of four craft fairs so far, and can I just say for the record that I am completely in awe of those people who run a household, have a job and work fairs? As I told one lady, I'm happy that I got myself dressed this morning, I can't imagine trying to get myself AND several children dressed and out the door as Jennifer of The Basket Lady does (3 kids!) Then there's Kirinia of Kirina's Krafts who has a baby and works farmer's markets and craft fairs year round.

Happy to say, I sold some of the soaps that I hadn't sold in the past, like my pterodactyl in amber and 2 of 3 of my large LEGO, um, I mean building block, men. Like these ones.



Strange thing is, I didn't sell any of my Christmas themed soaps. Guess I'm not the only one not ready for Christmas yet.

Are you excited about Christmas or are the stores putting out Christmas decorations too soon in your opinion?

It's a Sign

Remember Steve Martin in "The Man with Two Brains" where he says "Just give me a sign...just any kind of sign". Well that's me, sometimes I need to be hit on the head with a sign.

I think not succeeding in this last position is a sign, a sign that I really should pursue soaping with more fervour and determination. I've slacked off while working full-time and now that I'm not working for the time being, I have more time and reason to work a little harder for myself.

As I mentioned in my last post, I want to try and get my soaps into Science World and the Aquarium, as well as getting the alphabets to Little Dreambug. Little Dreambug have specific colours they're looking for, so I've created these samples for them. I hope they like them.


Also, when I was trying to put together something for the Aquarium, it seemed to me that I didn't have a lot to offer them. So I decided to make some more things that belong in an Aquarium. I still have to make some shells and a tree frog, but this is a start. Which one do you prefer?



My sister also gave me (yet!) another mold I had been wanting to try out, so what better time than now? I haven't quite figured out how to do this correctly which is why these aren't true LEGO colours, but I'm thinking what I should do is pour the entire thing in the main body colour, then give in to my sociopathic side (hee hee) and cut off the hands and head and pour it in yellow. Any ideas if that's the best way to do it?

Now that was the easy part, now to work on my proposal.
