Trystan....how much would you charge for another dragon like the one you showed (I think in the hobby hangout) a while back?
Just curious because I really loved the style of it and there are currently no loom knit patterns for a dragon like that so I can't really make one for myself...
(Er...a feel free to pm me about it so as to keep this thread on topic.... XD)

Also, I have been slowly reading a book! I planned on finishing it a few nights ago, but keep getting tired a chapter or two in. Might have it finished by friday.
Still have a ton I need to read though in order to catch up on my reading list and get it to where I should be at this point. XD

I sent you a pm, kaderin

I was just thinking today that I am overwhelmed with reading 4 books at the same time, and I keep buying books. I've been sorting through my books and have gotten rid of about 10 of them.

Reading has become for me a way to just gather knowledge, I want to enjoy reading, so I need to reassess my reading challenge. I'm on a pretty good pace with my list I need to update it

I'm at 13/30 books finished and I really need to be at 17-18 by the end of the month to be on pace.

But...since I just found out today that the craft show I normally do in November was cancelled (permanently), I really am not in a rush to work on stuffed animals anymore.
I mean, once I get a little photograph studio thing, a camera, and a tripod I will get some more made up to go in my Etsy, but it will probably be a while before I can get all that stuff so...yeah.
Time to do more reading.

I've been making decent progress with my book lately. I've been strolling around playing Pokemon Go! but I might bring my book with me on my next excursion to the park and sit down by the lake to read.

On the craft thing, just curious. Do you guys just make and sell things personally or do you make a company to sell them through? My sister made a company for her soap a while back so was wondering. My health is making getting work a bit of an issue so I've been thinking about trying for some extra cash just through craft or art selling.

I just sell my stuff personally, I don't have a company, I just sell what Imake and I don't sell much. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to doing stuff, I would rather just sit on my ass and read.

Quiet: I don't actually sell anything currently. But usually it is sold by me, personally. Not sure what you'd classify Etsy as, but I have used that and will again. But no sales through there just uet. I do have a relative who is offering to put me in contact with a company out in I think she said Portland, that I could do pet toys through. (Basically just my stuffed animals with squeakers and catnip in them.)

It's more me wondering how I would wrangle something like taxes if I actually were to make any real money. Not sure what I'd do though. I guess I could just make a handful of things and stick them on a friend's table or try a market and see what gets attention.

I forget the exact amount, but I think it'd something like if you make more than $200 per year you're supposed to report it and pay taxes or something...but I imagine that's mostly relevant with online sales ot sales using credit cards. (Probably technically also cash, buuut....
>.>

I think we already pay way too many taxes, so if there is no record of the sale, then... -wink-

Yep. Can't prove the transaction, can't tax it.
XD

@Quiet The Communist Manifesto isn't much work at all. It's not bulky, it's short actually, and it does require thought and concentration, but it didn't take me very long.

Two chapter left in my book! Although those two chapters are still close to 200 pages, plus a very short epilogue.

I realize that this month I am reading 6 books at a time. I thought it was 5, but its 6. Remind me never to do that again. I finished one (The Adventures of Mabel), am really working hard at finishing the others. Yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble and got $30 worth of used books! More books to read.

Tomorrow is the $3 a bag library sale. I think I'm going to go. Do I need to? probably not!

If it makes you feel any better, I also am reading 6 books currently.
But I am working on one most frequently right now and will probably make one of the others a "travel" book to read on the go. (Long trips or just when I have time on breaks or if I get to work early, etc.)

I am so ridiculous I have one next to the toilet. I won't do that again! hahaha
I just found my copy of The Devil in the White City, I remember you read it and thought it was good and worth the read. I also found Ghostboy and Lily Dale. I plan to read those when I go to Maine the end of the month.
