birthday gift to buy

February 8th, 2006 at 06:12 pm

DD has a birthday party to attend this weekend. I think I'll take her to the mall to pick out a pair of earrings for her friend. The theme is a tea party, so that seems like a nice girly-girl gift.

I've been debating going to the yarn store for some double-pointed needles and sock yarn, to try and learn to work in the round with those kinds of needles. My mom made DD some leg warmers, and I'd like to try and learn to do it, too. But so far I've been talking myself out of it, at least for the time being. We'll see.

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern as far at the boutique goes. I don't need a lot of stock on hand, as it's all done online. I thought maybe I'd be ready to try and sell at a table on Earth Day (big celebration for the city DD's school is in), but to have enough stock on hand means a pretty big outlay of cash up front, and I don't know how much I'd recoup, given the event is also a fundraiser. I can't do much on the actual store look and layout until I have my new logo, and that isn't due to me until the end of the month.

Just feeling kind of blah today overall.

    I don't know if it's talent. A few years ago I decided I wanted to learn how to knit, and I found a good illustrated tutorial online. I just keep at it, improving a little bit with each project that I tackle. I've crocheted for much lnger, so I'm more comfortable doing that. I like having things like that to work on while I'm waiting for DD at ballet. I can chat and still work with my hands.
