overwhelmed

The Ballston Arts & Crafts Market is a mere three weeks away and I'm feeling woefully unprepared.

I've been crazy busy lately. Or at least, I am according to the number of things on my overwhelming To Do List. Problem is, the list is so long, I don't know where to start! I've got so many things to do that I feel like I don't have the time to eat. Or sleep. And then when I'm supposed to be sleeping, I can't, because I'm fretting over all the things that need to get done...

(This week's To Do List - notice how many items aren't crossed off?)

So here we go - I've got 21, actually 17 days (we're taking a long weekend at the beach - yikes) to accomplish the following for the market:

DISPLAY TO DO:

• Buy a 10x10 tent/canopy.
• Buy another folding table.
• Build a display system.
• Make tent weights.
• Make a garland to decorate my tent.
• Figure out how to hang my shop banner.
• Make tablecloths to cover the tables.
• Boxes to display small pieces/business cards.
• Test run of display and set-up.
• Figure out how all this crap is going to fit in my car.

ART TO DO:

• Create 8 new art pieces.
• Design and print a new screenprint.
• Have giclee reproductions printed.
• Print additional Hair, Cheese, Zinnia, Onion, and Blueberry prints.
• Cut cardboard backers.
• Package up art.
• Make price tags.

WHAT NOT TO DO: 

• Freak out.
