Gonna sleep on it and see how I feel about it in the morning. For now am making bracelets on my newly designed/built lap/clipboard loom.

On the other hand, am still way over tired and need about 2 weeks to get the trailer ready to go and get a bunch of new stock made.

Want to go and get into the loop for these events. Can almost afford it even if it doesn’t generate enough to pay for itself.

Had not received it yesterday so figured we wouldn’t get to go. And got piles of things I need to get done in the next few days. Quite torn.

Starting to feel some better after majorly overdoing it for the last week. Then get the application for the 2 day event this weekend…

Got one very nice, new in the box, pair of American made Diamond K41 miniature pliers. Perfect pocket size.

A lot of which went directly to the booths at Valley Antiques. Some of the rest will have to be repaired and then go out there.

Went to the flea markets over in Glencoe this morning and ended up spending way more than I had planned on. Did get a bunch of good stuff.

Gonna be a busy week that I was hoping to spend resting and recovering from the last couple of over extended weeks. Will see tomorrow…

If the invite comes in via email tomorrow, we will try to make the Pow-Wow at Ft. Payne this coming Saturday and Sunday. 🙂

Trying to decide if we want to do a 2 day event in Ft. Payne next weekend. Fairly high cost but also “chance” to make some good money.

On toward noon picked up and twas BUSY on until we tore down after 4. Took about an hour to tear down and unloaded in the dark.

Festival is done! Today made up for yesterday by quite a bit. Ended up doing quite well overall. Early and mid morning was dead.

Glad I double staked the firstup. Came in and cut more bamboo to redo some of the bits tomorrow. For now, shower and bed, so later, folks…

Made it through the first day. Didn’t make a fortune but made enough for it to be worth going. Wind was a real problem but no real damage.

Hoping to get out there by 7 or a bit earlier so doing the shower thing now and calling it a night. Till later, folks…

Didn’t make the 50. 🙁 But did get 44 necklaces finished in 3 days. Got the truck loaded. Coffee pot(s) filled and ready to start at 6 am.

Miss counted somewhere, as with the one I just finished there are 40 finished pieces!!! So only have 10 to go tonight! Back at it…

And we’re back. Booth is set up though stock will go in the morning. For now supper and then get the last 13 pieces done if I can move.

Table is done! Now for a quick lunch and to head to Janney Furnace to set up. Till later, folks…

Looks like another hour should finish the table. Then will go to Janney Furnace and set up the Easy-Up and tables. Then back to necklaces.

Top of table is together, needs top shaved flat. Legs together & glued, got to mortise. Still got to cut and mortise stretcher & cut tusks.

37 necklaces done. 13 to go by tomorrow morning. Fingers quite tired. Still got to finish the table and some coyote wall hangings done too.

Time for bed. Too much to do to get it all done so am gonna do as much as I can and hope for the best. Till later, folks…

By Thursday. Of this week. And build a couple of tables. Also got to price, sort, and arrange a few hundred pieces of our stock.

Need to build a portable bench to hold them, tools, wire, cord, string, and other stuff and still have a place on it to work from.

Got 154 compartments of somewhat sorted beads in 9 boxes. Then 6 or 7 other smaller boxes with other beads and findings in them. Tis a mess.

Last one I did had 67 beads in it. Most of them real small and had to be picked out of piles of mixed real small assorted colored beads.

Could do more but am trying to be a bit creative and do different things with each one which is taking a lot of time.

Am stopping with the necklaces for the evening. Total is now at 22, so have done 15 today. Leaves 28 to get done in the next 2 days. Doable.

Course I also need to get 4 + coyote face pelt dream catchers made by then too. Got 10 pelts, would like to make them all up but no time…

Figure I need to get about 50 done by Thursday. So far, 7 last night and 7 today. Means I need to make another 36 by Wednesday evening.

Now got to make a trip to Wally World to get a few more pieces that were way too high at Hobby Lobby. 7 necklaces done since we got back…

Got back, had lunch, and started turning the bits and pieces into finished necklaces. Got to get started on the coyote dream catchers soon.

Made early(ish) trip to Gadsden to Hobby Lobby and spent way too much on additional jewelry findings, necklace cords, feathers, and a book.

Now to spend the next 3 days getting it all turned into necklaces, wall hangings and other things.

Spent a lot more than I had planned on but I think we have a much better selection than before the trip so think it was worth it.

Got buffalo teeth, turquoise beads, horn pipe beads, glass beads, arrow points, and coyote face pelts and claws to make items for sale.
