First of all work has had me really busy up until Peta's Hens Weekend. After juggling work all week, I managed to get the "novelties" to fill the bags. Mind you, those novelties arent very cheap, so Peta is lucky I love her so much. Her wedding is on Friday, I hope sincerely the weather clears up for the day as they are predicting showers on Friday and the wedding is in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. It should be lovely. I am going to make some wine glass thingys either tonight or tomorrow for the wine glasses at the reception.
The hens weekend was not too bad considering. I actually on the Friday night, rolled my right ankle. We kept dancing and stuff as we all thought it was probably just a bit of a strain. Not me though, I felt something tear and my ankle blew straight up. I didnt take off my sandals as I was frightened I wouldnt get them back on again. Guess what..... a month later and I still cant get them back on my feet yet. I havent worked for over a month now and have only just got off the crutches!! You see, I have badly (dr said severely)torn the lateral ligaments in my right ankle. Not great really. I swing from being happy that I am becoming a couch potato ( I have had to keep the foot elevated for most of the time, I havent been able to do craft as it hurts to have my ankle down too much (although I have done a bit over the last week which has made me feel better), to being depressed as I am grounded, not earning money and have been told I probably wont play hockey again, and no coaching at all this year (next year maybe depending on the stregnth of it).
Enough of my wingeing and whining.
Today, I am going to Printblocks. There is a MM class on today for retailers etc and I have been invited to go along with a craft shop owner today. You see, I thought I was just going to be making some samples for their shop in Ashmore and now I actually teach 2 Wednesdays a month! I did my first class on Valentines day! It went really well. If I get time, I will photograph what I did and the couple of samples I have done for the shop but they are at the shop now so will have to get them back to do it. So finally a foot in the door for my passion and earn a little pocket money as well!!
Next week I snavelled a week working data entry for another company (I am now officially on a recruiting agency's books). It is only a weeks work but I will not have to strain my ankle to do it. I have to contact the agency and see if there are any more temping jobs on the coast that I could go to, rather than going back to the slave labour of Coles supermarkets. Speaking of Coles, I am hoping there are still hours for me when I do go back or if I go back. Keep your fingers crossed that I get more of this temping work as its a foot in the door to changing from drudgery in a supermarket to finally utilising my computer skills. Heres hoping. Anyway, I have to go, Paige has to get up at 6 am now as she starts her classes early and has to catch an earlier bus than before. She slept in yesterday. I also have to get my travelling scrapkit together for a day of playing with MM stuff at Printblocks. I cant wait to see the new products, I have had a drewl catching bib on since they told me I was going just before christmas!!
Oh here is a quickie christmas LO I did for my mum with some stuff i got in a kit from secret santa at work!!
Its not very good as I had the camera on the wrong setting and didnt check before I snapped (half asleep I guess). I used the cricut to make the title. I am loving my cricut. I want a couple of new fonts so I guess I will have to get this darn foot better so I can earn money again.
Have to go, have a great day and thanx for dropping in for a look.
Have fun, I know I am going to. Sorry about the gaps in my blog have been so busy.
