A second progress report of the day

I realise that all these posts about my progress might not be terribly interesting to other people to read, but it's helping me keep track of what I'm up to!

So, my first 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 feel like I've done loads of that stuff but I can only actually cross off two things from that list, which is a bit depressing!

So far, I've:
  1. Marked out (with masking tape on my floor) the rough shape of the table I expect to get on Saturday. I'm awaiting proper dimensions, but its given me an idea of how much space I have and how much stock I need out
  2. Sorted out 32 t-shirts hopefully being delivered tomorrow!
  3. Bought and assembled a clothing rail for the stall
  4. Come up with a quick way of identifying the size and style of t-shirts with a helpful sticker system, and I have bought the required stickers.
  5. Bought frames for henna designs and put them in.
  6. Printed 3 bags and 3 t-shirts (all the stuff I can do with white paint at the moment)
Things I want to finish this evening are:
  1. Make some more earrings, particularly frosted coloured segments as I need to send some to Emma
  2. Pack the stuff up for Luisa
  3. Print my remaining stock
  4. Decorate the 5 phone cases I have
  5. First coat of varnish on the cases
  6. Make price and size signs
  7. Make henna ingredients and aftercare sheets.
I'm relatively confident I should get that done.... I'd better hop to it though!

Progress report!

Ok, so yesterday I came up with this list of things to do:
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!


So far, all I've done from the list is sort the t-shirt stock.
BUT
I have got my insurance quote sorted, all I need to do is actually buy it. 
I've also put together an order from Wilkinson to buy the photo frames, and thought of a load of other things that would be useful on the day including:
  • Sticky notes
  • Marker pens
  • Colourful stickers for marking size
  • Plain white labels
  • Hangers
However I've just realised that they take 2 days to deliver to store, or 5 days to deliver to home, not even any options of faster delivery! Anyway so at least I've got a list of things I need from them. 

I've also found a hanging rail in Argos that I'm going to hang some t-shirts from. I want to add height to my stall because otherwise they look very dull, but I don't want the big wall type displays because, one, I can't sort it well in time, and two, they create a barrier to the customer.

I've just looked at the time, and what times the stores close and have realised that if I leave now I can go buy these things tonight, so I'm off
Toodle pip!
