I’ve been so busy getting ready for my first First Friday at the West Bottoms.
Lots and lots of painting!
And jewelry making.
And sorting, tagging, cleaning, marking tending, wrapping, and more.
My decision to set up there was kind of spur of the moment, and I was not prepared, so had to go into overdrive to get it done.
Because of my concussion, it has been rough. One day was about ten hours of tiny, little price tags.
Yes,TEN HOURS.
By the end of it I was a wreck, too much time of using my eyes for up close work.
All of it is stuff I love to do, but I have to admit, that it was a struggle and wasn’t as enjoyable as it should’ve been. If I’d known that the confusion, eye strain, and headaches would linger like they have, I probably would’ve skipped this month.
I really am excited to be there and honored to get a spot. It’s a great venue.
I am just not myself right now. I’m a pretty sad, sore, tired version of me. Which is too bad because this endeavor is a major change in my life and I am not experiencing it to its fullest, instead, I am just coping and trying to get through it.
Come by and visit if you can. I could use a smile from a friend!
Actually the place is full of nice people, old friends, and new buddies. This is Beth’s booth.
As is this.
And these deliciously scented strawberry sundaes are made by Lily, next door to Beth.
I know I am going to love it there once things get back to normal. And for now, I am just going to do my best to get through it, then go home and nap.
Ugh, I’m tired of feeling bad.
