making myself pay

yes i know i know i know...but between my diet work and crocheting orders and my day job, i've been really crap at keeping you all updated, but really, seriously, did you even miss me?

because i know pretty much everyone else is as busy as i am!

so...it's still bunting craziness here at the bloomsbury skyline club.

i'm finishing up my summer orders and will be moving into my next phase of production in a week or two. i've decided to go ahead, take the plunge, and create limited edition holiday themed etsy/folksy shops only. that way i can keep on top of the supply as it will be very time-based -- well that is the plan anyway!

and what am i doing with my earnings?

well i had been shoving it straight into my skin, getting inked. i've been using my hooker money to reward myself with tattoos for all my weight loss. but this last week i had the first real lapse off programme, and my weight stayed the same. exactly the same. i know part of it is because i need a really big poop, but the rest is due to the champagne. it was sooo lovely though!! and even though i feel horrid for going off plan, i know if i didn't have these new skills that it could have been alot worse and i may have gained!

but nope.

stayed the same.

so no £££ for the tattoo fund this week.

instead i loaned it out to kiva, to help finance leticia's shop!

here's more info if you are also interested in helping...

world aids day 2009

i took the time tonight, after working late and while waiting for my tesco man to bring 12bottles of my favourite dry cava (it was on special - 3 for £10) for xmas.nye...anyway, i took the time tonight to crochet a red ribbon. i sat there and really thought about it and wished i'd done more to support world aids day this year. i'd like to start planning a project now to culminate next december 1st, but not sure exactly what just yet. i'm thinking that maybe i could get my stitch and bitch groups to all come together for the night - each do a square, then auction off a blanket?

but would anyone want a blanket of red ribbons squares...
maybe a better idea would be to all make afghans and only use one red ribbon square per project and auction them all off. or just take on the project meself and create something all on my own.
hmmm...

i've been moved and i don't want to lose this desire to do something and create something, and earn some £££ for a good cause.

any ideas?
