Yikes!!!
I just got my show invoice last night in the mail. Yowza! they charged and booked me for the wrong show! I felt immediate panic . The kind of panic, arms in the air, heavy breathing stomping around, crying and wailing dropping to my hands and knees. No, not that far, just the heavy breathing and wide panic eyes, like if I did any of that it would change the date for me. Why was I so panic stricken? Because the show they booked me for is next week! Not The first week of April. Lots of exclamation points, huh. I am so not ready to do a show next week. They have a no refund policy so I may be freaking out and doing a show next week instead of losing all that cash if they wont transfer it to the April show. I mean I did originally ask for the April show not the March one, I hope we totally didn't get our wires crossed. I feel a little better now that its written. I can't do anything until its a decent time to call.
**Edit** Wanna know what kind of lunatic I am? I called, I got the date switched, now I feel a bit let down. I was begining to get into that adrenaline rush of last minute getting ready for a show. Ah well, it will be easier to have a month and its a better venue in April anyway. I actually don't think I could have done the show next weekend. I really like this promoter, I just wish I did better at all their shows.
I finished the noro version of Katharine and had to full it right away. It took an extra cycle, there is no stitch definition but it isn't as sturdy as the Classic Wool comes out. It is fluffier though. Its like a little stripey animal.
This is what I received yesterday for approval. the picture really doesn't do this justice. I contacted a woodworker about making me some purse handles. This one is unfinished but it feels so good to handle. Its lightweight and he made them from some type of Birch and says they are pretty much unbreakable. I was in shock at such a beautiful item. He's going to finish them and the price point will be less than or equal to the price of those crappy plastic ones from the craft stores. I've been working hard at designing a bag to be felted/fulled to use with these. I have the sketch done and the pattern written. I just have to find time to get the sample done. I'm going to sew a few bags to go with the handles as well if I get a reprive from sick patrole. Poor babe is still sick and I think we'll be making a trip to the doc today. I'm surprised I got anything done yesterday. I'll be surprised if anything gets done today. If I am stuck doing that show I'll be working nights to get some items ready to take with me.
