Originally, I was going to skip this convention. I had attended it a couple times in the past, but this year, the booth fee for my booth was jumping up in price by $100. That may not seem like a lot to many other large vendors, but for my tiny booth, that was a really big amount. Then, taking into account that sales this year have been down, I was just going to skip this one altogether.   As they do, things happened, though. I got sick, and so I had to ultimately skip my last

Inspired by my husband's Borderlands Poster, I got a few posters of my own to get autographs on. My only successful one that I actually have gotten autographs on so far is my Stargate Poster. Stargate has been one of my favorite shows, and so I just had to find the perfect poster for my autographs. I am (of course) keeping a spreadsheet for this one, as well, and will post it below for what I have so far. Stargate has been a big part of my life, ever since the movie came out

Well, this weekend I had to do what I had only done once before, ever. I had to choose to skip the convention that I was booked and paid for. It wasn't a fun decision, but it was the right one. It just hurts that I was unable to setup my booth for the weekend, especially considering my next confirmed event isn't for 4 months. Luckily, there are some other events before then that I may try doing, instead. 8 years ago, back when I was doing craft fairs, too, I had to cancel 2 e

I did not work a convention last weekend. It was my anniversary, so my husband and I decided: no convention for me and no paintball for him. We did, however attend a small convention that wasn't too far away from us. That weekend we went to the Red River Comic Con. It was a first year convention, and I did end up running into some of my vendor friends there, as well! We chose to attend this convention because one of the voice actors from the Borderlands franchise was going to

My last event, I got to go to the Lawton Super Con again. This has been one of my favorite shows to do. The first year it was held, I did phenomenally. Granted, since then my sales have declined, but I still manage to make enough to make the weekend worth it, so I keep going. I also have a couple hotels in that area that I like, so that helps, too. This last weekend, I was a little worried when I first walked in to locate my booth. The number of vendors at this event was real

If you have happened to google CraftySasha, there is a chance you may have come across my Etsy store that has crochet patterns listed. You probably thought you had made a wrong turn on the internet and ended up somewhere completely random, but that is my store, as well! My Etsy store is where I have my digital crochet patterns still listed, simply for the ease of use through Etsy.

Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this post, I want to preface this by saying that these particular items are just my opinion....
