Thanks Karmacat and Claire for your comments. I am being held back a bit by myself at the minute lacking confidence. Yes i made that item well, but i need to learn other skills. I know i should just think to myself that i taught myself how to do that over a few months so anything is achievable really.

My sister in law loved it, and my sister fell in love with it too and said if ever she has another baby i must make it for her. It is so pretty. I wish i had learned when i had my own two.

My mum offered to sell me some in her shop, but she has a bargain shop - sells a bit of everything at a low price. The internet is where i need to be to make it worth while.

Hi,

Just wanted to say this is gorgeous. I would consider one for my spare bedroom! (so not just the baby market) As I'm sure you would be more prepared to try and match up colours for me.

I have a friend who knits, hats, mittens and has continous orders, just from a facebook page and word of mouth. I had her knit a hat for my nephews christening and now all her friends are asking after them:D

Anything is always worth a go and at this point you can be totally in charge of hou much you fly....

To be fair, it might, but it will require a day of militarily precise timing. And a local hairdresser in Headingley who can fit me in!


P.S. I can pass on info to locals about the day, MG, but it will be much easier if you have a website/links for me to provide to people to illustrate what I'm talking about.

I'm working on that in between catching up in here:D Be with you soon I promise.

My brain is a bit fried and the words - well they are not coming easily:cool:

I'm off back there now that the kids are in bed.

You are all so lovely on here. Facebook is one of my considerations. I've had offers of people linking me to their friends on there. I need some ready made stock though so i can photograph it then offer that or to make stuff. I need to speed up a lot too as well.

I have so many ideas i need to get on with it really.

Hi Everyone

Another quick update from Kampala. This week I have started my fieldwork officially. I have been to two repair shops and tomorrow I hope to see some phone unlocking in action. A wonderful lady who goes to the university I am visiting at has taken me under her wing. She works in the phone business and has set up almost all these wonderful introductions.

I have asked everyone I needed to for help so far, and even though it wasn't easy the results have been wonderful. I have taken all the help that has been offered which has left me feeling like I must 'pay it forward' with bells on top!

This week I has been a much more normal back 'down to earth' sort of week. The high anxiety is subsiding but also the high excitement and I am realising that it's all about taking one day at a time. This living fully in the now, being open, giving good energy and positivity isn't half knackering :rotfl:

A mix up with hte guest house bookings left me in a shared dorm with strangers (my worst nightmare) and I went to pieces a bit over it. Cue my realisation - I must give up control. Mr Big's task was easy enough after that, ladies I am going to stop being so controlling and take the African attitude for the forseeable future.

MG - really rooting for you in your battle with the bank - know you can do it, will be following you every step of the way

Just want to thank you all for the birthday wishes - I am setting myself up for a great year ahead because the Universe is listening and taking notes.

Lara, glad some of your anxiety is fading! :T Well done indeed for asking for help - and for taking it! :T

Michelle - didn't realise you were in Rotherham! I'm in Sheffield - and round the corner from me we have a rather fabulous Country Market (affliliated to the WI, google Country Markets) every Saturday morning, which sells hand made cakes and crafts and things. They do quite a trade in cheery knitted kids' clothes

I'm sure there's probably one nearer to you, but if you fancy a mini trip over to Sheffield one Saturday morning for a cheap cup of tea and some fabulous cake, I'm more than happy to take you along so you can have a nosey at what's on offer and a chat to some of the people involved if you think you might fancy it in the future? No obligation (to me or the WI!) - and if you want to just come and have a nosey at what's going on to store up future possibilities without talking to anyone, that's fine too! PM me if you'd like to (it's every Saturday, but only open 9am-12, so you'd have to get up early! :eek:) xx

MG, what kind of venue are you looking for, for how many etc? The place I used to volunteer at has a training room - not hugely posh (it's in a conservation centre!) but cheery - not sure if they hire it out though, but can ask. The charity is VERY big on mind mapping though, so I'm sure they'd be most welcoming Can PM you details if you want them

MG I've Pm'd you on your other address re our meet up.

Late Happy Bday wishes to Firewalker and Surfbabe X
