So, at the Wicked Faire I had one set of gloves sell. There was apparently some interest in custom colors.
My debate? Should I open a Etsy shop and try to sell some of my stuff? So the deal is you pay 20 cents for every uploaded picture (item for sale). Then when you complete a sale you pay a 3.5% fee to Etsy. So, that's not hugely expensive, but I'm not sure if selling nothing will affect my self-esteem.
I'm all good doing customs and there are definitely a few things in my knitting future that are quirky and I would love to show off. I'm just not sure if I should do. The only thing to lose is a few bucks (I plan on setting a limit of how much I am willing to lose on the shop before closing it).
Thoughts?
This could be a worry for nothing and I'm over reacting as I'm sure this shouldn't be a big deal. My stuff can be seen in various albums on Picasa (name Smilingkid). Or if you have a Ravelry account (which every knitter/crocheter should!) I'm SmilingSheep on there.

Colorful Weekend
This past weekend I attended (my first time) the Wicked Faire. Two friends and I decided to road trip to NJ leaving Friday night after work and coming back late Saturday night. It was weird and fabulous!
In addition to attending some of my stuff was added to the Greenwood Creations table for sale. Though, I have no idea what the outcome was, I'm waiting for Ms. Greenwood to get back to me (hopefully that will be soon). She mentioned potential commissions, which would be awesome. The not knowing is making me a little neurotic, though even if nothing sold, I'd be ok with that.
Anywho, there are some fabulous pictures! I also took a video of the Wicked Faire Fashion show. All very interesting. If you want to see, you have to drop me an e-mail, as some of the content may not be appropriate for younger folks (or the more sensitive group).
Here's some of the head gear I purchased! It also gives me a good use for some of the creepy disembodied heads I have.
On a whim, I also decided to get a henna tattoo, I think it turned out fabulously.
Knowing a lot of people would be dressed up, I searched through my closet for something to wear. I found some random things that would work, and they did!
Of course there were other knitters there. I definitely saw one, someone knitting a 147' scarf. No idea why she would take on the endeavor, but I have pictures!
Finally, some of my finished objects that I did for the Faire. I was working on them anyway, but they seemed to work. I know where everything is going if I didn't sell anything. These include 3 pairs of Punky Corset Gloves, a Flying Spaghetti Monster and another Womb. I also complete Neckings. Check out the links if you want to see pictures of them.
