Preparing for the big event
I’m far more excited about this event on Sunday, than I was with my wedding.
No wonder. We got married when I was 7 months pregnant, and didn’t care too much for it. We just needed the paper, for administrative purposes. We have finished in the registry office in 5 minutes. But we enjoyed this 5 minutes, and remember it often.
Now I’m collecting items, preparing things for a month now for the WAMP (www.wamp.hu) and it is still a lot to do before the big day.
- I’ve just printed out my brand new business cards. I’m going to laminate them, and put a hole in them, and with some ball chain I will turn them into keychains, to give away as business gifts on the fair.
- I’ve printed out some earring holders, with my logo.
- My husband (Dear Soul!) helped me to sting more beads for more crocheted bangles. We heard a rumour that bangles sell more then anything else. I’m planning to crochet and sew together 5 or more things tomorrow, and if I will still have time, I want to make a few more earrings too.
- I will have to check and undust my jewelry display.
- We have to wake up 4 am on Sunday, to get to Budapest in time. This is because of the time change from Saturday to Sunday.
I do hope that I will make enough money for the art clay silver course. I’ve talked the course organising lady, and she is a doll! So nice and helpful! I’ve already booked my room in a hostel nearby, with her help. The course will be in Sopron, a wonderful town I love so much! Last year we went together there, and took Sára with us.
I think I’m all ready. If I will have some stuff left (I hope not :D) I will put them up in my etsy shop, and hope for the best. Otherwise I won’t be able to make it to the course.
Yes, I’m two balls sort with the Caftan pullover. Never mind. I knew this is going to be my most expensive project ever, so two or three more balls will not matter. I’ve been searching the net for an economic solution, and I think I have found the best source on Ebay. With 5,40 per [...]
My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]
I was going to write about celebrity knitting, but then I saw that there is a lot of articles in this topic. So I dropped the subject. The one I’m going to write about it now is animals in knitted/crochet gear. I know, there is a lot of articles about this too. But I still [...]
Now, if you have all kind of knitting needles (or at least a few of them), and wonder what to do with them, or how to use them at all, there are a lot of helpful sites, where you can learn knitting. From the basics, to the more advanced techniques, there are help for every [...]
Yesterday evening I immediately started a bag, which is actually a crochet bag, and it is in a bowling bag style. It is going to be smashing! No pictures yet, but I will add one when it is worth it, or you will be able to see a decent progress. I make it in brown [...]
