New supplies!

13:31 Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »


I recently ordered some henna supplies in anticipation for the summer events coming up. One of the new things I'm doing this year is - if the customer is so inclined - adding some sparkle to the finished designs. Kids LOVE this! Adults, well that depends on the event and the mood I guess but you should see the kids eyes light up when I ask them if they like glitter. The plus side to this is that they are often more careful with their design so there is less chance of smearing before the paste is dry.

I have also picked out some self adhesive stencils. These can be used to create temporary glitter tattoos or they can be used for henna. This should give me some fun options for those people who don't want traditional designs. I'm saving the stencils for the BC Renfest in July and I am thinking they should go over well.

Taking a breather...

I really haven't felt like I have had all that much to write about lately. The irony is that I have been quite busy so one would think I had a pages of stuff to write about but that is not the case. I don't generally write about work and to be honest that has been taking most of my time (working two jobs will do that to you). My time outside of work has been filled with the usual events and goings on like birthdays, weekend markets (where I henna) and wedding related stuff (I get to be a bridesmaid in September). In fact much of my days seems to run along the line of simply moving from one commitment to another before falling into bed for a time and then getting up to do it all over.

The May long weekend is drawing to a close and for once I was not committed to driving all over the province or committed to working. Since the boyfriend took off to visit family I had that rarely experienced but badly needed space to myself, physically and mentally. I spent part of Saturday cleaning so for the first time in weeks my house is tidy again. Once that was completed I was actually able to relax, focus on some things that need focusing on and it has been wonderful!

I'm hoping for a good nights sleep tonight. With tomorrow the craziness starts again but at least I'm feeling better.
