Monday Update: April 1, 2013

No April Fool's joke here! But I did nearly forget to update today! I worked this morning, and that always throws me for a loop. I much prefer afternoon shifts, but I'm getting a mix of them lately. I'm taking what I can get, to be honest. My hours were nearly non existent for a while, so now that I'm getting over 20 a week, I can finally breathe again. My budget was so tight it squeaked for a while, and now I can finally afford everything I need.

Onto the knitting! I assembled a bunch of bow rings this past week. I've been cranking them out for a while, and I made quite a few. I listed a bunch in the shop, and I'm really happy with them. Go take a look! I have a few more that I didn't photograph for whatever reason, so I will hopefully be taking their glamour shots soon, and get them listed as well.
Are there any colours of bow rings you'd like to see? I have tons of yarn to choose from. I rearranged some of the stash so a lot of it is more easily accessible now.

I also got an order from my friend who got the pink headband with the white flower. Some of her coworkers wanted hair bows like hers, so I put those together. This is the whole order. Lots of reds and pinks. Super cute, I think! They're basically the same as the ring, but a bit larger.
In other exciting news, I'm trying something new to sell. I'm knitting it right now, and I'm hoping to have it done in the next couple days. I'll talk more about it another day.
In other, other exciting news, at some point this week, or early next week, I will have a super awesome thing to share with you. I'll be reviewing a product, and you'll have a pretty sweet coupon code.

Not a whole lot to show

It's been two weeks since my last post. You'd think I would have a lot to show for it, but in reality, I didn't get much knitting done.
I did go to Niagara Falls and London with my boyfriend. We had a good time. I had the role of (bad) navigator. I got us all turned around on some back roads. We did eventually make it to the Falls. We left for London the following day.
I worked at Made In Windsor a whole lot. Sold a few of my things. I brought in some iPhone cases (finally) and sold one. It's quite simple, and I enjoy making them. Christine, the owner, told me the girl that bought it had been looking for one like it for some time. I am going to make another one in the same colour to replace it soon. This isn't the one that sold. It is the first one I made that I was completely happy with. I love that bright blue colour.
I made some of the hair bows that I was planning on making for a while. They're not all assembled, but there is a start to them. I need to find a hair clip to put them on that I really like.
I did a bit of experimenting with some knitted jewelry. I am unhappy with both versions that I have so far. I want to find a way to make them look nice, yet still remain simple enough where I will not get frustrated.
I went to Art In the Park and purchased a gift for my parents. I am going to give that to them sometime this week. It was unfortunately rained out on Sunday, so I'm not sure how well the vendors did.
Despite not having much to show for all of this, I did get some stuff done that I wanted to do. I am going to keep plugging away at all of them, and hopefully, by November, my art show at Phog will be a success!
