So besides the post on the Foil Pack Chicken Dinner, I have fallen off the face of the blog world this past week. I was trying to get things done, and they just didn't happen as planned. I'm not quite sure where my 3 days off went. I even made a list, which ususally helps me get things done, but it didn't help. I think I will perpetually be two steps behind.
I did get a couple of custom orders made:
And I figured out why the white balance wasn't working that well on my pictures. I had two different kinds of light bulbs. I thought Hubs put the same kind all together in a box. I was wrong. Thus the difference in the top and bottom pictures.
A high school friend also bought a Train Engineer Hat for her new nephew, and that was pretty exciting too.
I think I'm finally building a customer base. I've been trying to wear and use my products and some people that I meet in real life are starting to ask about things. Hopefully this will continue. July has been a very good month for my business. I should probably start doing some book keeping. Time to get out Excel, and make Hubs help me since he is and Excel guru.
Now...on to the weekend!
Tomorrow night I actually get to go out. It seems like it's been forever since I've gotten to go out on a Saturday night. My middle niece is going to turn 10 on Monday and wanted to go to a Japanese steakhouse for her birthday. Bless this child's heart, she always wants to make sure I can come because she is one of the few people who understands that I have to work at night. Did I mention how much I love these girls? So we are going to Wasabi in Greenville.
For some reason this one is never crowded. It's a year or two old, very clean, very reasonably priced, they give you TONS of food (I take home about half), and it's in the busy part of town. But it's never crowded. I'll take it. But before we go to eat, I have a mini To-Do List for this occassion.
~Emma is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. She saves her money to buy the Harry Potter Lego sets. She's very artistic, loves to read, loves to craft. My sister-in-law told me that she wants to make a Harry Potter scrapbook and asked that if I find anything while I'm shopping that would work well in a Harry Potter scrapbook, that I get it for Emma. I didn't find anything in the stores Monday, so I decided that I'm going to break out the Cricut and make her some alphabet cutouts using a free Harry Potter font I found online. So that is to be done.
~I'm also making Emma's card.
~I need to take up the skirts I made for the girls. They were about 4 inches too big, but I think that shouldn't take too long.
~I need to finish my mother-in-law's crochet flowers. I don't know why I have been avoiding this. They are practically done. I just need to finish them.
~I need to sew and pack up another wallet that I sold. I had every intention of doing this last night, but I had a few kinks in the custom ordered heart wallet and at 3 AM I was tired of dealing with wallets.
~I have got to wash clothes. I know this is TMI, but I'm out of underwear.
I think i'll leave it at that. Hopefully it will be a good night here at the hospital, no computer downtimes like last night. If so, I'll go home, sew up the wallet, pack it up, and go to bed "early" (1 AM-ish). Then get up early-ish and get to the post office and finish all of the goodies I need to finish. I need to get back on a regular sleep schedule anyway.
