The last time I posted to this blog I was dreaming about Spring. Now that we're in the mid-August heat, I have to admit, I'm ready to get back to some cooler temperatures. Apparently I'm one of those people who loves the changing seasons. I'm looking forward now to mums, fall leaves, cider, pumpkin pie, sweater weather. One might think that I'm never happy. Not true. I love looking forward to what comes next.
I haven't done any knitting to speak of all summer. I had thought that I would, but the days just keep getting away from me. Also the hot, humid weather makes me not much want to sit with a ball of wool in my lap. But fall is coming and I'll be ready. I'm starting to sort through the stash, thinking about mittens and hats, sweaters and socks. Ah, heaven in sticks and string!
I did learn to crochet this summer. I had thought I would make a baby afghan, but I made it too wide. So I thought it would be an afghan for the sofa - beautiful colors of pink and deep red. But I misjudged and ran out of yarn when the project was about 40 inches x 15 inches. LONG way from an afghan, eh? HA! I'm debating - order more yarn? It's striped, so the different dye lots shouldn't make a huge difference. Frog it and go again for the baby afghan? Which still may take more yarn, but not nearly as much as I'm figuring it will take for the full-size. What to do?
I've taken on a little business venture. I'm now an Avon representative. DING-DONG! AVON CALLING! Actually, I think this is perfect for me! A way to make a little extra money that doesn't require me to keep a huge amount of product on hand, doesn't require an astronomical start-up cost ($10.00!!!), doesn't make me place a $350 (or more) order every three or six months, and best of all, doesn't make me do parties. Cuz people, I like to party, but I'm not the sales-pusher type. I'll get you a book, encourage you to check out my webstore, answer any questions you have, and wait for you to call me if you want something! Avon seems to sell itself, and I feel like it's going to go well. Wish me luck!
