I've never been big into just sitting down and watch television. I'm always doing something. For a while, I had a full time job (Heritage) and two part time jobs (Naptown Oreo Radio & Century 21 Scheetz). I quit one part time job and pick up Amazon reviews in almost full swing. There was a point where it got to be extremely overwhelming, so I started to step back. Apparently, I stepped back at the right time, because a few weeks later, Amazon put a screeching halt to our reviews and said "We will have no more of this, Bitches!". So we all had to come up with alternate routes for reviewing what products we had remaining.
The truth is, I am technically EXTREMELY behind and should have reviewed all of my products by now... but I haven't. I have an entire box of stuff that I've barely touched and I honestly feel GUILTY!! It's like Amazon said we were done and I was just legitimately DONE. But I'm not. I will pick up these products and get back to reviewing so I can be done.
In the mean time, I've quit all the legitimate "PART TIME" jobs and have gone back to concentrating on my crafts. I've already taken part in one Craft Fair: The Mooresvill Arts in the Park. I split booth space and with my forever partner in crime and together we managed to BS our way through it. We seriously had no idea what we were doing, but we did it.
Now, here is it, October 19th and we have four more craft fair type events coming up... kind of. We think? We've filled out applications and sent in money for one of the events... the other two haven't really asked for money, but one of those has definitely asked us to participate. It's honestly confusing as hell. So here's the upcoming schedule:
Saturday, October 22nd from 1 pm to 4 pm: Arts & Ale in Speedway on Main Street, being hosted by the Speedway Centre for the Arts. Here's the Facebook even link. For this event, we got a last minute call back, and we both turned in applications, but they never said anything about the $30 booth rental... um.... I'm gonna bring $30 with me in case they realize we never paid, but I'm not necessarily going to bring it up and ask "DO YOU WANT MY MONEY???".
I've made some cute little glycerin soaps that look like beers for this event. They smell like Maple Bacon & A Woolen Blanket. There's a pale ale and an Amber ale. Seriously, they're stinking cute as shit. They're listed on my Etsy here.
Next up is the Decatur Central High School Arts & Craft Fair. It's scheduled for November 5th, from 9 am to 3 pm. Again, I've submitted the application and turned in the money.. but they haven't cashed the check or called us back. I'm wondering if that's because Kirsten's shop name is "HOMEWRECKER Hand Made". Ugh. The Struggle is real here, folks.
The Third Event is the Avon Arts & Craft Fair, Scheduled for November 19th, from 9 am to 3 pm. It's at the Washington Township Park. We've turned in the application, but the lady running this seems quite aloof. She never called back about the money... so I'm not even sure this is actually going on for the bestie and I. I guess I'll call her back here soon and see what's up with that? Or not. Hell if I know.
Last up is the St. Chris Arts & Craft Fair hosted by our awesome friend Melissa Hedge. I asked her if she knew of anything coming up and she hooked us up with the booth space here. This is a definitely a go. Melissa pulled some strings and crammed us into her already packed arts & crafts fair. It pays to know people.
Then on top of all this, I regularly get coffee at this little coffee shop in town, Darrin's Coffee. The owner is super bubbly and always smiling. He's a bit out there, but hey, it suits him. Of course when I get my coffee we have small talk and talk about my Chickens and whatever else. He's going to start buying the eggs that my girls produce and he wants me to make a lip balm that we can sell at his shops. -He has two coffee shops and the original is in Zionsville. So this is a totally neat new adventure. So Kirsten and I are going to come up with some coffee themed crafts (soaps, lip balms, candles, bath bombs and more) to sell at his shops. Isn't this awesome?
So here I am, spending all of my new found "FREE TIME" crafting all over the place. I craft on the floor, on the couch, and in the kitchen. It's definitely keeping me busy, but I'm a mess and need help with organization. It is what it is, I suppose.
So if you're interested in my crafts, visit my shop: The Uncured Ham-Ham Made Stuff. I have everything from bath bombs, beard oils, beer soaps, lip balms and more.
