| Oct. 3 | 8:10 am I had a dream Saturday night that I was singing with some friends in perfect harmony. It was wonderful. My student, Melissa, from UNC~Wonderful was a fantastic employee. I loved having her company all day Saturday and she had some very helpful ideas for me. Sales were pittiful both days, infact after deducting booth expenses and the cost of having an employee I made a wopping $17 on Saturday. I haven't added up the receipts from Sunday but it was very slow also. Some of the successes of the excursion were that both days I had gallery owners ask if I sold to galleries, and I was able to say, YES! And luckily last week I had visited with Mike at Flame Kissed Beads who had given me great pricing advice which was crucial for me to be able to even sell to galleries. Mike was extremely generous with his time and help last week. It is wonderful to find people so willing to be helpful to others. |

Riverfest was a huge success, I made the local news! I was on TV and I even got to say a few words, what a kick! Anna Kooiman was the woman who shot the interview and she was very kind. |
| 2005 | 10:09 pm As I was drifting off to sleep at about 3:30 last night I remembered that UNCW has this wonderful service where you can post a job opening with their career's department. In the past I've found wonderful baby sitters that way. I thought I'd try it with my need for a helper at the craft fair on Saturday, and within hours I had a great girl call me up to take the position. That's such a treat to know I'll have a helper. I'm off to sleep. |

| 1:34 a.m. est | I've got a craft fair in Wilmington on Saturday and Sunday and I've let the brain start getting the creeps already. I had thought that this being my second craft show (well, sort of third) that I wouldn't get the creeps. But it started and I knew it today. I began to get very nonproductive . My brain starts thinking of all the things I could do to be really really really really successful (translates make $2,000 + ) and boom, I can't function. well that's not true, I'm functioning beautifully. So I was in bed, had been asleep and I wake up and start thinking of all the things I could make, or should I spend my time changing my booth set up, no that would cost money, and should I spend my time in my shop melting glass or should I spend my time putting glass together into jewelry, or or or or or. so as I lay there I started sensing my body and noticed there was a lot going on in my face, my whole face was tingling, and a bunch of energy in my chin and jaw, and then a little jolt in my solar plexus that went a way as fast as it came and a ping in my knee. then back to my face my face was full of tingling, energy, fullness, awareness., and I started doing circular breathing, it is a breath that has no pauses in it. I breath out instantly after breathing in and then in instantly after breathing out, no pauses. I know from past experience that when I do that, with in minutes I'm asleep. but I lay there breathing very softly this circular breath and thought, there really is nothing wrong with me not sleeping right now, I mean I could just sit here all night feeling my body and watching my mind, oh say until 3 and then at three if I'm still doing that I'll just get up, and right about then I got up, went to the kitchen, cleaned the dishes there and made some fresh coffee, I mean heck, If I can't sleep I might as well have fun about it right? I think the most important thing to do from right now, no now, until I leave for Wilmington, is to have some fun doing anything, it won't make a speck of difference what I actually accomplish between now and then, so I should just have fun doing what ever I want to do, so I think I'll photograph some of my work and post it over at Fire Kissed Glass.com see ya |
