I’m preparing for holiday markets coming up this weekend and next month, but it looks like I’m going to get rained on all weekend. Business has been getting worse for me the closer we get to the holidays. It’s like the more I try the worse it gets, but I’ll keep going bcs this is all I have left.

Basswood cut into pieces to make boxes, bookmarks, and sun catchers, laying on a green cutting mat. The bookmarks are at the top, the box pieces are at the center with numbers for each box, and the box lids are to the left, which I also use to make sun catchers. I’m going to make key chains too, but those aren’t pictured here since I use the extra wood that comes from cutting the bookmark blanks.
