Well, so far still no real job, but I have managed to save up a little toward my trip. Enough that I plan on applying for my passport in early December even if I fall short and don't get to go after all. I guess I could always go to Mexico, or all else failing, Canada. There is a pretty good chance of me making quite a bit at craft fairs this winter, but that'll end pretty much at Christmas.
I hope to have an ArtFire Shop soon too, and that should bring in some sales. With luck they may even be steady and bring me lots of customers. Maybe I should make a blog too...

What I've Been Up To
Well, still no job. I have been working on my jewelry making skills and hope to get a booth at a couple of bazaars this winter. I've taken up chainmaille weaving as well. It's really fun, and challenging, to learn a bunch of the weaves. There are dozens to learn. Here's a picture:
That one is called European 6 in 1 - for every center ring there are 6 outside rings that go through it. I've made about eight different weaves so far, and there are about 50 more that I want to try. Here's a Queen's Mail bracelet (also called Box Chain):
