went to the umass craft fair yesterday and saw kristin selling her soaps. Another woman in her booth had used fleece to make skirts, which isn't something I seriously had thought about but seems to work well. Kristin's soaps for the record are UGLY. oh well, she'll probably sell a few. Another woman had made hand loomed scarves etc. and i was fascintaed b/c i want to learn to do that.

came in, stopped at the bank on the way in and deposited some very small amount of funds (on the order of several dollars). Saw the craft fair again...Kristin has sold most of her soap. I would actually like to sell belts or some such weaving/knitting sometime. I'd do lace but 1. i doubt the market would be as good 2. amount of product for time? 3. my skill level (while this is debatable too). Alex is making belts and scarves for the smith craft faire this weekend. I don't have her experience by any means but it would be nice to do here at umass.

thesis edits

i would just like to say that it just bugs me that the only real edits i have to make on my thesis are formatting ones, for formatting features i was advised by others to put in.
