Preparing for Houston

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

I have been doing a little shopping to get ready for my trip to Houston. I love this bag that I found. It is really roomy and I love the print. It has a surface that I can wipe clean and most importantly a shoulder strap large enough to fit over my head so that I do not put too much weight on one shoulder. And there is room for shopping — very important.

I also bought some new Ecco shoes — very sensible, black patent leather and too boring for a photo!

This is a portable charger for my iPhone and iPad. It is really cool. You can recharge it by plugging it into the laptop. It will come in handy at the show to keep my electronics running.

This is my teeny tiny Square Up for processing credit cards on my iPad. We will be selling books and cards at our exhibit.

Tonight, I have been working on something special and fun to take with me. I can’t show you yet, but I will post photos from Houston. I always have to take my laptop with me to keep up with my SDA work.

Tomorrow, I will do some errands, pack and make sure Mr C has food. I want to buy some yarn to knit a baby sweater. I am going to be a Grandma again at the end of March. I am so excited. Mark and Jayme are very excited at becoming parents. It will be quite an adventure for her to manage medical school and a baby!!

In a Blue Mood

…but in a good way! I finally got a batch of indigo mixed up today. I have been meaning to do it for ages. My new motto is “just do it.” I dyed a couple of items of clothing that were stained and looking drab.

I also dyed the cotton scarves that I worked on the other day. Some of my experiments came out quite well. I think some of them will go back in the pot tomorrow for a boost of color.

This morning, I had my final eye doctor check up. I have a prescription for reading glasses. I get two free pairs with the cataract surgeries. I ordered one pair today and will wait to see whether I want another pair of bifocals or just glasses for close up work.

I also went shopping for a few things for the trip to Houston — some comfy shoes and a new purse. I am getting so excited. I keep getting reports from friends who are there for Market and they say our exhibit is “freaking awesome.” Just 3 more sleeps!!
