Oh my gosh! So much has happened in the last 6 weeks! Mostly good, some bad, and some just plain annoying.
Good things:
- Olympia and Uttoxeter. Very much enjoyed both those shows, met half-a-tonne of good peoples and really enjoyed the teaching I did at both. Definitely want to expand into the teaching about dyeing more!
- House Renovation cracking on. My partner took voluntary redundancy in February, so we used some of that money to work to push for completing renovations. Which eventually means an office in the little bedroom, more storage for yarn and far less chaos in life.
- Confirmed the booking for Knitting and Stitching 2011, and got the form for Knit Nation that I really do have to send back ASAP before they run out of space!
Bad things:
- My partner broke up with me at the end of March. Was a 5 year old relationship, so as you can imagine, was a major life bump. That chaos (along with the house renovation chaos as well) meant that all the inventory and photography I needed to do between and after the two shows hasn’t yet happened…
- Supply problems caused massive delays to my expected yarn shipments.
- The Day job has taken a turn for the tedious. My heart’s with Yarn, but IT Security is what pays the bills right now! Makes me even more determinted to make that carreer track change than ever!
So, more shows on the horizon is good, my heart will heal, as it always does, my yarn is due to arrive in two lots, this week and next and the day-job won’t be forever.
I’ve got non-busy weeks the next two, and a long weekend to play with yarn and websites in, so it’s intensive photography and uploading time!
Sounds like a tumultuous few months. Wishing you all the best, and all the strength and spirit you need.
