A Fair Coming Up - work work work


8:20 am
                Whew, quite a day yesterday. I did manage to get over to my friend’s at about 4 (instead of the planned 3). I thought the plan had been to write, so I brought a laptop, but my friend was so distracted with cleaning and getting things ready for all of the guests (a mass of girls mostly) that would be arriving. I ended up sitting under the apple tree with her son and writing on my own. Nothing fancy, just some attempts at kit instructions. I wish I could get hold of some circular needles that I could include with a kit. Maybe I’ll go on a quest later since I actually have a car here today. Or I could even bike. Well, everyone did finally arrive (not my girls), and we did finally eat, everything turned out very well.
                What about today? Well what I really need to do is get ready for the fair in various ways. Mostly by writing up those kit instructions, maybe take some photos to use for a cover, figure out how to package and display them. Maybe find a source for needles I could include. I also have a bunch of skeins of gray angora that I need to wash so they have time to dry. And I’d like to finish the 4 skeins of the gray/green stuff so that I can skein, wash and dry them for the fair. I guess that should be the first step since the drying will take some time. I don’t have very big expectations for this fair, but I suppose I should try to channel some good energy, think positive, hope for the best rather than anticipate the worst. Well the good thing is that it is very close, and I should see some folks I know which is always nice. I sure hope the weather is decent. I think will bring 2 of the “teenager” bunnies. Sure would be nice if that could inspire someone to buy one – but it has to be someone who knows what they are getting into, not an impulse “cute bunny” buy.
                Just another thought or two about ToDo’s – I need to pay bills. I need to go through emails (!! – I think I have about 55 accumulated). Sometime soon I need to organize stuff on the computer, especially fair stuff. I need to review my fair notes and see what I said I would do. I need to work on bunny cages – clean the two separate ones, put wire flooring on the hutches, lower the support boards that accumulate droppings, get some cages set for babies that will soon be leaving nests….
