Not so crafty...

I don't know what my problem is lately... could be the cold weather... but I am just so damn lazy these days! I've hardly made anything at all - so now I'm not even doing my little Christmas Craft Show anymore. :( I just have too much other crap going on right now to even think about it. I'm still making stuff for Christmas presents and things like that, but I haven't touched my lonely little sewing machine in a couple weeks. Although... that hasn't stopped me from buying fabric and a bunch of other things for it. *Sigh*
That being said... I did manage to post one new piece onto my little shop today:
Hopefully I will get around to posting a few more this week. My goal is to have at least 10 new items posted by December 1st!
Today I get to go to my sister's little Grey Cup party - go Bombers go! I usually hate football but I'll make this one small exception because Winnipeg is going for The Cup. We'll be having dry ribs, nachos, hot wings 'n beer... a buffet of artery-clogging goodness... a perfect fit for this kind of occasion really. I'm bringing some of the chocolate fudge cupcakes I made yesterday - instead of crafting.

So far so good...

Well my little open house last weekend was a success! For my first one anyways. Unfortunately I was a big fat stress-case most of the day and completely forgot about taking any pictures of my little set-up. But take my word for it that it looked pretty cute, if I do say so myself. Thank god my sister came over to help me out, otherwise it could have been a disaster - let's just say taking pictures wasn't the only thing I forgot about... like, um, price tags?! Oopsies...
I meant to get everything all set up the night before, so that all I had to do was a little cleaning on the morning of, however... a good friend of mine was having a girl's night/housewarming party at her new condo the night before and I went... I only meant to stay for an hour or two max... but then out came the red wine... and the jello shots (yes, that's right) and... well, I didn't get much accomplished that night other than preparations for a great headache for the next morning.
That all being said - it went pretty well (considering) and I am already planning on my first little Christmas Craft Show! I have learned my lesson(s) now and will be much better off for my second one, I am sure. I have all sorts of little crafts I am cooking up for this one - not just jewellery... and whatever I don't sell will become Christmas present for friends and family. I did take the Handmade Pledge after all :)
