A blog for every occassion

Wow! I am still so new to this blogging game, I am enjoying the opportunity to write a little and hoping that there is more than just one or two people reading along.  How nice it must be to have more than one person subscribed to your blog!

I have just read a blog post about knitting! There really is a blog about everything.

The great thing about the knitting blog is that it has inspired me to buy some wool and hunt out my knitting needles.  Will look like a right old nana sat here in the shop  knitting, maybe we can sell my knitting along side of my husbands beautiful handmade jewellery?  Am thinking that my first project will be some baby booties, am more likely to complete a small project!

This photo was taken last summer somewhere in Scotland, there was an extreme traffic delay, so out with the needles!  I started a jumper for my Mum last year and finally delivered it to her almost finished in January this year – she had to finish it!  A great mother daughter project.

Thanks to the Cranky Knitter for inspiring me to knit again.

A Day in the Life

Today has been a great day to write about, and it ain’t over yet – having visitors from abroad is the perfect excuse to play and I’m loving it.

The day started with coffee and cakes from Marco Polo bakery and a big blether in the sun.   Bikini on, ready to swim, what a great way to start the day.  Hilary and I swam at the bottom of the ‘street’  that we work on.  After this we purchased a small coffee machine, then back to the shop (www.facebook.com/SebaDizajn) to try out the new machine – it’s great.  Coffee on site is a good thing and hopefully a way to save us some cash as both Adolf and I enjoy our coffee a lot and regular stops at our favourite coffee shop (Caffe Stari Grad) throughout the day were adding up… 

Next mission was ‘save a cat’, Hilary being a keen animal lover had earier spied a wee poorly cat that looked like it wold barely make it through the week and decided that she would like to take it to our local vet and save his wee furry life. We spoke to the vet and he was expecting us at 12 so we had to go capture the cat, esier said than done it turns out.  Despite the cats apparent ill health there was no way it wnated to be transported in a box by us to the vet.  Oh dear, we made several attempts before speaking to the vet, 

“Do you have  a cat box we can borrow?”

“NO, sorry the box is not available today, it will be here again on Monday”.

Decision made to leave the cat till Monday, bring him some food in the mean time and monitor his condition – will keep you posted on his progress and try and remember to add a photo.

“What now?”

The decsion was to eat, and we sat at U Maje i Tonke & sampled their chickpea salad, hummus & fresh bread (all very good).  It is so nice to have visitors to blether with, Hilary and I sat for about an hour and chatted before me feeling like I really ought to give Adolf a break from the shop.  So we walked over to Seba Dizajn and watched some jewellery being created for a while before taking another stroll.

I am now on the afternoon/late shift, and have just sold one of our beautiful silver filigree beads and a matching pair of earrings to a lady from Chicago, lovely to talk with her and share some of the filigree story with her. 

Now I have a second pot of coffee brewing and I am catchin up on my ‘homework’ – I am two days behind on both of Nikki Pilkington’s 30 Day Challenges that I am currently signed up for – the Facebook Business Page Challenge and the Blog Challenge… Challenge 7, ‘A Day in the Life’ now completed.  Wonder what’s next?

Cheers
