Looking at side income…

Yes, I’m that desperate for some form of side income. Apart from my mini shawl biz which has taken off quite well (I’m making my first proper COD this weekend), I thought it would be good to look for some form of income from my blog itself.

And this came in the form of Advertlets.com. It’s pretty much something for locals here and I kind of like it more than nuffnang.com but we’ll see how it goes.

Wish me luck, ya?

ARGH!

Something happened to my current knitting project, causing stitches to drop and a huge hole to emerge in between stitches! It’s not saveable so out came the scissors and off came the offending work.

There goes about a week’s worth of work and quite a bit of 100% silk yarn. And when I thought that that it would never happen to me again…

ARGHHHHH!

WOW.

I haven’t blogged in five days. WOW!

Anyway, yeah…my MIL (Mother In Law) is coming now so I have that plus a boatload of other stuff to do.

Sorrweee folks, quiet times ahead!

First draft…

…of the montage to be screened during the Dinner.

I need to rescan my photos again since the current sizes are just too small for this sort of thing. =.=

Plus Nil and my brother owe me pictures! So yeah, this is just a teaser so to speak. XD

Sorry I can’t really stay a while to talk.

My mini-business is taking off all too well which means that for the next two to three months, I’m completely up to my nose in knitting and shawls…not that I’m complaining. It’s good really, all this extra income. (Although right now, it’s not so great because I’m sick! Bah.)

To make things a tad more complicated, I am juggling wedding preparations too. Ah, well, the price of DIY weddings. There are the slideshows – about two to three actually – and then the invites and the favours. I’ve sort of finalized everything so it’s a matter of getting stuff together and churning it out like a good ole’ one man factory.

Yes, that’s me – DIY all the way.

So yeah…will be busy. Sorry can’t stay to talk. Bye!
