Centurion Craft Show - Day 1

Today was the first day of the annual Centurion Craft Show.  I don't do first days very well... for one thing, I never feel as though I have prepared enough.   You go to bed too late and toss and turn because you know you have to get up really early.  Then you get up really early, rush to the venue and work like a slave to get everything set up.  There's a big panic because you think you forgot the money box and the shopping bags, and suddenly your cell phone (lifeline) has disappeared.  In the search for the phone the money box and shopping bags are found, and when you start looking for car keys, you find the phone.  Adrenalin rush, dry mouth, disorientation!
When the doors finally open to the public it feels like someone rang the bell and school's out.  Oh the relief.  No more dashing around, what isn't done won't get done now.  Time to relax, and try to relate a little bit of your art to the onlookers.  
Petro caught a snap of me demonstrating teddy bear making.  If I remember to pack the camera tomorrow, and manage to find it once I'm there, I will take pictures of my stand. 
Here's a link to the Show Newsletter for those of you who are thinking of visiting.  And even if I don't see you there, have a good weekend!
