Sale looming around the corner.....

I am such a procrastinator. I am participating in a craft sale on the 28-29th of the month, and true to form, I still have not decided what to take, how much to charge, or what I will demonstrate.
The craft sale is at the Calgary Stampede Roundup centre, and is the "Creative Stitches and Crafting Alive" show. Looks like I will be pricing things at midnight on the night before we set up.

I was recently approached by a local restaurant in town. They want me to make a set of wine jugs for them (2 doz 1 litre, and 2 doz 1/2 litre). Comes at a good time for me, as the gallery I sell out of has had to begin searching for a new place due to rent increases. I just need to finish off a couple of sample jugs for them, get them to sign off on the pricing, get a deposit, and then buckle down and make them. It is funny with me, once I have to make something, the less I am interested in doing it. I throw according to my mood, not what I need to throw.
To be honest, this is the first true production commission I have had. People ask me to make one off pieces for them, but I rarely do anything en mass like this.
