Today about five people in my class realized how cool the things I was making were, and either bought or reserved things or both. The girls who had wanted to buy the bracelets decided not to when I announced that they could not keep them on hold any longer. I sold the blue bracelet, the spring toy, one ‘pocket walker’, a walking empty thread spool which consisted of an elastic band through a spool and pizza table legs to walk it. Reserved for tomorrow were the red bracelet, the film canister catapult (possibly), another pocket walker, the pneumatic airplane (launched by blowing through a straw) the spirally necklace, a wobbly pipecleaner something, and I think there may have been a few other things. I made at least five dollars. Also, today there was a craft fair in the gym at my school, and had I known that the proceeds were not all for the school, I could have set up a table there. Unfortunately, over half of my wares were sold or reserved by then, so there didn’t seem to be much point.
