Tuesday

I've still got my ear infection and am not getting a lot of sleep because of it.  I'll be fine once the ear drops start working but as I'm tired I'm not making anything at the moment. There is no point trying as I know I won't be able to concentrate on the stitches and I'll only get them wrong.  Instead I'm spending some of my time searching the web and finding all those wonderful blogs that are out there.  There are so many out there and they are all inspiring in there own ways!Do you have a favorite blog?  I've taken a look...

Christmas Elf

I was reading someone's blog the other day (sorry I can't remember which one) and the mentioned elf on the shelf.  It's based a tradition whereby on the count down to Christmas an elf comes to visit your house.  He is there to watch whether or not the children in the house are being bad or good.  Each night the efl magically gets up and goes to visit Santa to tell him if they have been good.  Each morning he comes back but each...

Payment

At what point do you ask for payment?I had a potential customer contact me saying they wanted to buy a horse hat for their daughter. I agreed to make one and advised them of the price. They agreed but said they wanted to buy it but wanted one that looked like a palmino horse. I showed them pictures and they said which type of colour they wanted. The yarn wasn't exact so got 2 slightly different colours. I bought them out of my own pocket with no payment made. Once I'd finished I emailed them the pictures to see which one they wanted. Then I heard...
