Well I have finally finshed the hood on my new jumper. Very pixie-ish. Really have got to post a photo. Will have to get M to take it. More than likely will need to wear the thing too so you can see tho would have prefered to remain faceless. Still here we go........Just gotta do the sewing up / construction bit now and round the neck!
And I have one whole ball of lime green and two half balls of both lime and turquoise to find a use for. Legwarmers????? Scarf?? Dont really need any more scarves since have enough of one type of another to fill a large suitcase so maybe legwarmers or even socks or gloves. Dont usually go for matching stuff either tho seem to be getting lots that matches with this venture.
The yarn is actually DK tho I have been using double to give me chunky and it also means I get solid turqoise and lime and a marl version too with only needing the two colours so works a treat. I will have to have a think about this cos looks like I am getting a whole look for very little work really. I will pick up round the neck tonight.
Today is going to be a really long day cos was up at 5am to make bath bombs to stock up for markets. Dogs were happy tho cos they got to go our very early. Reggie actually kept jumping up and kissing me. Very cute so long as he doesnt break any teeth cos his head is very hard and he keeps jumping into my face and it wouldnt be the first time!!
I have started my 2nd 25kg bag of bicarb too so now wondering if I should buy more. It took so long to come last time that it might be best to get it in early rather than have no stock. I also need sweet almond oil and cannot get any. It used to be cheapest in Tesco but they have stopped selling it so now I will need to find a supplier fior that to and need to do asap since have only about 100ml left. Cant get over how quick I am getting thru supplies now I am actually trading. Still I am selling lots so should be very happy about that.
I want to experiment with Eco soya candles next. We will have to try em out so could be a good one to do over Xmas hols since we will get round to actually lighting them then! usually we seem to have candles lying around for ages till Xmas comes along. It would be nice to have some natural Eco candles rather than the usual parafin wax. We need another line for the stall too. Intending to make some new soap over xmas too. Will need the forum to give me feedback too since I will hopefully add it to the range if any good. Also got to think of a new bath bomb mix for spring / easter since cant have the Christmas ones too much longer. Its a shame cos they are selling like hot cakes - mind you probably thats cos they smell Christmassey. Mind you maybe I can do same perfumes for both soap and bath bombs. Christmas will be fun I reckon. Lots of experiments. Maybe a citrus mix for spring???? Hmm. Also I would like to make some soap with my own special mix of essential oils cos I have been trying several out for months now and finally I have come up with a really nice mix. I have already made moisturiser with it so going to try to do it as soap and bath bombs. A complete range maybe like a signature scent - or am I getting silly now?? After all I am just a market trader in the end!
This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.
