Saturday Chat – I Survived the Week

Posted by Darlene on July 28, 2018 at 12:31 pm

It’s Saturday.

I think I survived the week nicely considering I had multiple appointments (I kept 3 out or 4 so not bad) and phone calls to make. I hate making calls.

Yesterday, I decided to finally cut and dye my hair. I did not record any of that. Instead, I just did my thing with no worries about entertaining anyone during the process. Felt fucking freeing.

Today I realized my hair was still too thick for my liking so I cut some more. Maybe I’ll cut more tomorrow. Who knows! I’d love a pixie cut at some point. One of these days!

I’m super busy today. I have to edit and upload the asmr video that I recorded yesterday. Trying hard to get caught up with that. I need to get ahead of the game.

I’m also crocheting like crazy. I am making a twin-size-ish afghan as a tutorial and I can’t wrap up that video until I’m done. I was hoping I could finish in about a week, but with all the other stuff I’m doing, it might be two weeks. But that should be long enough. Next time I do an afghan tutorial, I will make it smaller.

I hate to even mention this in case I don’t get done in time, but I’m hoping to have an end-of-the-month fabric sale. A small one. It will be offered to patrons first at a lower price with free shipping, then whatever is left over will go on ebay at a higher price for everyone else. I do have some new fabric panels that I’m anxious to put out there. I really want to get back to selling the fabric, but on a smaller scale, and at the end of every month instead of every six weeks.

With all that said, I really need to get busy!

When shopping on ebay, always read the descriptions. Some items ship from overseas and can take a few weeks to arrive. Usually the description will state how long shipping might take. Also, for clothing, overseas sizes usually run on the small size so it’s good to order larger by a size or two. Always check the shipping charges. I’m not familiar with these sellers so please do your homework and shop accordingly. Some offer special deals like getting a free item or a percentage off if you buy a certain quantity so be sure you pay attention to that too!
