Birthday thoughts, and other things.

I just realized it is my birthday next week. It feels so odd, it certainly does not feel like a whole year has passed. Or maybe it does, I don't know. The last year has been slow in some ways and really fast in others. I do not think I will celebrate my birthday this year. I was briefly entertaining the idea of having another teaparty but... it is rather too late to start planning one now and... I just do not feel like it.

On the upside though, I have submitted the form to get a table at Uppcon's Artist's Alley so I will most likely be selling my hats there in June. Also I will spend this week working on several orders I have at the moment. So that is good. Not to mention I have a dear friend who has offered to help me with a website and some other things. I'm leaning more and more towards really putting all my energy into the hatmaking. Perhaps it will work, perhaps not... it's worth a shot at any rate.

Why does my heart cry, feelings I can't hide...

Uppcon 11 - Artist's Alley

Since I have already bought and paid for my ticket to this year's Uppcon (A Swedish Anime Convention) I have started to think... The main reason I'm going at all is to see a concert, which is just one day, but I still have a ticket that covers the whole weekend. So, the question is; What will I do the other two days? I started poking around on Uppcon's website to see what other activities were avaliable...

There was, of course, the Lolita Fashionshow, something I think I want to be a part of this year, but there was no real information about it. So that will have to wait. However, I did find information about something called the Artist's Alley. It is a place, a sort of marketplace/exhibition for all kinds of people who wish to show their work, be it art or something else like hats, for instance. It is also a place for those people to sell the things they have done. So, I think you can see where I am going with this :P I am, quite obviously, thinking of booking a table in this Artist's Alley and use it to exhibit and sell my hats.

Do you guys think it would be a good idea? Would you like to see my hats avaliable for sale at Conventions like Uppcon? On this particular occasion it only costs 200SEK to book the table so I could easily afford it. The only question is.... Would anyone buy from me?

I would really appreciate some feedback and opinions on this! It will greatly help when making the decision!
