Blue and Purple Sleeping Dragon

So loosely, I have decided that next year I want to be a vendor at the Ren Fest locally. To that end I have a goal of inventory, and one of those goals is to have 10 of these sleeping dragons. This was the third one I made after making that goal, Kevin, and the stripey one being the first and second. I was excited that it only took me two weeks to be that far along on that goal. Yes, I make them faster than that but they aren't the only thing I made in that time. But then, tragedy and victory struck in one swift move!
This dude was sitting on my counter at the store, I had just taken a photo of it. And someone bought it! This is amazing, the goal is to sell them. If I can sell them without paying for a booth fee that is a win. But also now I only have 2/10 done. It's one of those situations where is my goal to sell them or is my goal to be a vendor at the fest? If it's the latter then I shouldn't have sold him, if it's the former then this is ideal.
No matter what my goal is if someone is excited to get one and happy about it I will never say no. I love seeing them go to new homes. Plus, this particular customer also commissioned one of my larger lionel style dragons. Also a win but also distracting me from building up fest stock! I am successfully failing and I have mixed feelings. (Mostly joy though.)
