138 - Jim Hensoning

I read a quote from Jim Henson a long time ago that I wish more people could have heard and understood, it really helps. I've forgotten the exact wording, but the sentiment is what stuck with me; When it comes to all the evils and politics in the world, the starving children in China, the wars, the environment... there's very little you can do. What you *can* do, though, is try to bring a bit of happiness to everyone you interact with and hope it spreads :)

So today I'm feeling like this clip from the 1987 Muppet Family Christmas:

They're all having their party out there, they're so happy about this... that's good, I like to see them happy :) But I'll tell you what, somebody needs to do something about these dishes...

C'mon, Sprocket :)

139 - Craft Show Report

The little Tuesday Craft Show I did yesterday was very nice, and I really couldn't beat the price of a table - FREE! Put on by the same guy who does the Oddmall events, this was aimed at being a "little slice" of Oddmall for the tenants of an Assisted Senior living home, where the median age of residents was around 86 years old.

I sold three of my new ornaments and got to try out some new display options, had a real good time :)

( Pictures of all the ornaments i currently have can be found under this cut )

The biggest lesson I learned is that my ornaments are going to be a HUGE seller at Oddmall on the 19th and 20th, but I still need to find a really good way to display them :/ The little tree I used was *good*, but was barely room for the 14 ornaments I brought - and I intend to have about a HUNDRED ornaments by the time Oddmall gets here! So I really have no idea how I'm going to display all those ornaments... bigger tree? Maybe a clothesline set-up... Hmmmm...
