Posting because I have not been posty

meccahiTonight is the Friday before the last weekend of the Kentucky Highlands Renaissance Festival.
Those that know me well, know EXACTLY what I'm doing. Yup. Making stock.
We've had an actually decent show. I'd go so far as to say an AMAZINGLY good show, for the past two weekends.
I don't like to disclose numbers. I generally find it unprofessional to say what I make ( be it small or large). But fuck it. It's my blog and I'll blab if I want to. The past two weekends, at this tiny show, the booth has pulled in a little over $2500. Which, for a larger show wouldn't be that huge of a sum, but for a small show, and for someone digging her way out of a continually sinking pit? It's not that bad.
But it's still not enough.
I ain't complaining. Don't mistake my ramblings for bitching about "whine,whine,whine I'm so broke". Well..I am BUT. I am DAMNED happy and grateful that we have had great weekends these past two weeks. I can't even express how grateful I am.
But now I am on my knees praying that this last weekend blows my imaginary socks off.
I finally was able to place supply orders, and make a car payment, and pay off the speeding ticket I managed to acquire in New Mexico ( *sigh*).
But after all that? I'm still short. My decorating chain order, and crystal order in total come to another grand. I almost have it... but not quite.
So tonight, I will be sitting, and making more chainmail..( my ring order, and OTHER crystal order, AND my stampings order, all came in Thursday..craaaaaap) And then I go through my rollercoaster of emotions that I seem to ride on a continual basis lately.
Then I think to myself..
HOLY SHIT DUDE...I MAKE CHAINMAIL FOR A FREAKIN' LIVING!
*ahem*
Yeah. So. Here's to scraping and clawing and grasping that wall of makin' life work by the very nails. I'm still clinging for life to that wall, but I think I have a slightly firmer grip.
Hopefully.
