Ok, so the Ben medallion sold for way less (way, WAY less) than I wanted. Lesson learned. I thought starting the auction out at .99 with no reserve would attract bidders. I now realize that maybe it would have been better starting it out at, say, $25. Oh well. The person who got it is an artist as well and she collects the medallion, so it will be going to a good home where it will be appreciated. I have him all packed up and ready to go out on Monday.
My Halloween goodies made their way safely to Kentucky and the recipient was thrilled. Whew! I was sooo nervous she wouldn't like them, but she loved them. I am so excited to see what goodies I will be getting.
I also signed up for the Blab Secret Santa. That was a lot of fun last year and I want to do it again, even though finances are kind of tight. I'll find the money somehow.
Also, the most exciting news of all, SADIE ARRIVED! She is so cool. The cast is nice and clean too. I think it took me maybe a half an hour to prep her seams. It was cute, Morgan saw me and asked me what I was doing. She wanted to "help" so I dug out some bodies and let her "prep" them with a makeup brush. It was pretty cute.
Anyway, I really wanted to get Sadie primered up today but the wind out there is just gale force! I am hoping maybe tomorrow. I really want to get started on her this week. I have her color and markings all picked out. I am going to try to sell her as well. Hopefully I can produce a quality piece that somebody will want to enjoy. I think I will be able to do that. It seems each piece gets better and better. I just have to keep at it.
