Why is it that you start making plans, and life turns you upside down in a flash when you least expect it?
As the more astute of you may have noticed, my NaBloPoMo effort hasn’t exactly gone to plan. I’d like to thank Virgin Media for this, as my internet access has been sporadic at best for over a week which is EXTREMELY irritating when you have things to do. That said, the objective is to have made 30 posts in November, so I’m sure with a few days of doubles we can have made that target. Irritatingly, with the new blog layout we somehow managed to remove the tracking code for google analytics so I have no idea whether this more frequent posting has made one iota of difference to my readership. Woe is me, indeed.
Yes, so where was I? Oh yeah – work. I finished working at my job last Friday (Hallowe’en) as my contract had ended and I have been looking forward to a few months off to be full time Mum. Or at least I was, until I received a phonecall on Wednesday offering me a job I’d applied for months ago. I have to admit I wasn’t really expecting to get the job because I’d definitely aimed higher than I have before, but when they eventually did offer I couldn’t say no because the opportunities it offers are too good for the family for me to turn down.
So why is this an issue? Well, my sister and I have been looking into a very exciting business opportunity which we would be starting from January 1st. I can’t talk about it too much because if this opportunity falls through then others may present themselves but it’s SO FRUSTRATING to have all these opportunities present themselves at the same time. What to do?
The last thing I was going to do was answer a few questions that have been posed by my loyal fans recently:
Elaine says, “I have a question, and wondered if you had any ideas…I’m looking for a really nice knitting bag, but don’t really want to make one. Do you know anywhere I could buy one?”
Well… I have to say that for things like this I really love handmade markets like Etsy. The knitting bag I use is a fantastic Namaste needle binder but that won’t have space for your projects. Can any other knitters offer an insight here? Links would be great too 
Charlotte asks, “I love your new layout. How did you do it?”
I have to say here that Bob did it for me and I have no idea how. Isn’t it pretty though? I’m sure he’ll be able to point you in the right direction if you need guidance though.
Eileen remarked, “I’m thinking I might rejoin flylady, I never got past shining my sink previously though.”
Well Eileen, neither did I. The path to hell is paved with good intentions and all that!
I’ll be back tomorrow with some crafty stuff. Promise!

You go girl!!! Congrats on the job …
I have a new question, as one of your loyal fans:
Vonnie, if a dog barks in a busy street in the middle of the night, and everyone who hears it is deaf and has their eyes closed, is it the dog or the people who really exist?
I want to have a question.. but I haven’t got a question at the moment so I will have to keep reading until I can think of a question to ask.
keep up the good work though.. I’m not doing so great at the blog posting thing… 4 of this week’s posts have been backdated as I have had computer problems and am only jsut getting caught up.
