I may have spent more money than I should have today. First I picked up Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink at B&N, because COUPON and also Morinaga Milk! ( Mild spoilers )
Also, there was an AnimeIowa meeting this afternoon, and I decided to join some of the other staffers in the tradition of Going Out To Eat After. We went to a pizza-and-beer place and had some pretty interesting pizzas. I ordered one called "fully loaded", which was based on a baked potato, but my favorite was the "drunken clam", which involved clams, lemon juice, and I think bacon. The dessert pizza we got definitely involved bacon, and also Nutella (though we only got bacon on half, because not everyone was up to that particular taste sensation). Anyway, between the book and the meal, that's about thirty dollars out of my pocket.
But it's (relatively) okay! Because my patterns have been selling pretty well recently - someone on Ravelry discovered them and shared a link with their friends/group thing, and I've sold six in the last week alone :Db I totally should've linked the patterns to my Ravelry account earlier, but there's only so many websites I feel up to devoting energy to at a time, yanno? I should probably count myself lucky that I can keep my Etsy account relatively up to date.
In addition to my pretty decent pattern sales, some of the folks at the meeting saw me working on the cheetah-griffin and took some cards. This ended in one of them insisting that I put something in the art show this year (there's going to be actual material prizes this time around instead of (in addition to?) ribbons), and another one asking what my rates would be to make something to give to our Guests of Honor! I said I could probably come up with something in the three-bucks-a-pop range for what they were thinking of, and they said they'd e-mail me with numbers and so forth. Whee! I'll have to start working on that tomorrow at the weekly afternoon crafting party (formerly/usually? on Thursdays). I've also got some money coming in for dogsitting for the across-the-backyard neighbors, so yeah, I should be okay for having spent what I did.
Anyway, time to get to work sketching some corn and thinking about possible art show entries :3b
