Time's UP!

Ok, it's just gone midnight, I've packed everything I think I need for tomorrow other than my insurance documents which I'm printing now, and the stickers, which I haven't designed yet, and I'm not entirely sure I'm going to.

I've done a stock check and I have:

• 30 t-shirts
• 64 pairs of handmade plastic earrings
• 39 pairs of silver earrings
• 15 phone cases
• 8 bags
• 2 pashminas
• 2 small scarves

Total: 160 pieces of stock!

I think that should be more than enough! I also have 5 cones of henna, and two cones of henna/jagua mix so I can do two toned designs.

I also have a very sore back and a very sweaty face! I was going to have a shower tonight so I don't have to get up even earlier tomorrow, but I think that I'm just going to sit here and be lazy instead, possibly design some stickers, and do a check over the to-do list to see if there's anything I'm missing!

See you on the other side!

P. S. Don't leave shrink plastic in the oven too long!

Less than 24 hours to go!

And to say I'm stressed would be an understatement. 

I'm trying to be calm because I know when I stress I hurt more, but it's a bit difficult.

At the beginning of the week my to do list looked like this:

Sort the t-shirt stock

Print the t-shirts

Decorate phone cases 

Make Henna/Jagua cones

Buy insurance

Sort table layout

Get blu-tac!

Make and print henna ingredients and aftercare sheets

Price lists/signs

Print bags

Buy frames for Henna designs

Sort my design book

Make more earrings

Design & Print stickers

Iron all stock

Get change from the bank

Post long awaited items to Luisa and Emma!

I have:

Completed 20 t-shirts

Decorated 10 phone cases

Made henna paste

Bought insurance

Worked out the basic principles of my table layout

Got blu tac!

Designed henna ingredients and aftercare sheets

Designed price list

Designed size list

Printed 3 bags

Framed henna designs

Finished 24 pairs of earrings

Realised I can tumble dry stock rather than ironing it

Not bad for a week.

Really important things to do are:

Make my printer work so I can:

Print aftercare, ingredients, size, stall info and price sheets and insurance documents

Design stickers for earring bags

Make henna cones

Find some fabric to cover table

Get change from the bank

Find out where I'm actually going tomorrow

Rest!

Desirable things to do are:

Print more t-shirts

Print bags

Work on design book

Post things to Luisa, Emma, Christina and my solicitors. 

Speak to the people about my business cards

I've hopefully sorted getting the printer to work, ie. I've asked my dad to come round later and fix it! Printing the things shouldn't take too long. Designing the stickers might be a bit difficult before I've got my printer working because I wanted to scan the sheet so I knew where to put the design etc. 

Making henna cones takes me a while because I'm completely incompetent. What I'll probably do is cut out loads and loads of bits of cellophane and set myself up in bed with Netflix and a cup of tea, make hundreds of the things, then use the ten or so that actually work. I've got the henna mix in a piping bag ready to fill cones with but want to make some mixed with jagua so will have to do that too. That shouldn't take long though. Finding the fabric should be easy, I have a whole cupboard full and I think I've got some nice orange linen that would be good. 

The bank should be fine, I think I should get a float of about £40: 4 £5 notes and 20 pound coins. That just means I need to get out of bed before 5.

I've just worked out where the place is. I thought I knew, I just needed to check!

Now to work on the rest?

P. S. 

This is how I feel right now!
