There’s just over 24 hours left on my fund:it campaign, and I’m just shy of 90% of the way to my target. More than 80 people have gotten involved so far and pledged various amounts of money from as low as €5 to any amount above that. It’s nerve wracking to be so close with such a short time left until my funding deadline. The deal with fund:it and similar crowdfunding sites, is that if you don’t reach your target, you don’t get any of the money at all. So, it’s kinda nail-biting at the moment.
The tickets were drawn for the competition for the film fleadh tickets, and two random pledgers to my campaign found themselves with a pair of tickets each for a movie at the Fleadh. That was a wonderful added bonus to be able to give as an extra reward along with the ones I have listed on the fund:it page.
This time tomorrow I’ll know whether the project is funded or not. I’m trying to not just sit at the computer clicking refresh to see if there are any more pledges – that temptation is there, but instead I’m playing piano, enjoying fresh strawberries and the sunny day, and finishing my knitting project.
I’ve been having trouble with my computer, and it needs to go in for repair, but between that and the funding campaign, I’ve been keeping myself calm and busy by getting back into knitting. I’m making a pair of wrist warmers since I lost my previous pair at some stage over the last few months. They’re kinda essential kit for me in the studio – keeping my hands warmed up between takes. The knitting project is kinda nicely mirroring the funding one, and I’ve one glove finished, and the other about three quarters done at this stage.
Wish me luck with the last day of my fund:it campaign, and please take a look at the link, and share it around, to help push me up that last 10% that I need to reach my target. I would really appreciate any pledge no matter how small, or any link that is posted to help spread the campaign out.
