Behind the scenes

Often I get asked how I can get everything done. Usually, I joking respond I don't sleep. Which is true to a certain extent, it is rare for me to get to bed while it is still the day before a show date especially, and setting up a booth on two hours sleep is less than fun! Sometimes if I see that the person is looking for a better answer than that, I might talk about priorities. I rarely sit still, I always have a project (or three) going. The day - or more likely the Monday after a weekend show - I will sort through everything and make a list. Things may stay on the list for a while depending on how annoying not having them done is. For example, tablecloths have been on my list for a while now. I plan on making nice drop over ones with pleated skirts that come to the floor and look really sharp. However  nice having them to sell off of will be making them keeps getting put to a low priority.
