Bleeech, I have a flu. Again... I am feverish and my throat feels very ouch. Eating and swallowing is a pain and I am not happy!!!
Dull is being very sweet for me, he really is taking care of me, which gives me a great feeling. And last night Mom came over to make me some chickensoup. I love her for that...
I'll leave my post like this, don't feel like telling anymore about how I feel...

I am still here!
Nonono worries, I didn't disappear or anything.. It's just that I had a jewelry party last night.
My mom was stalking her neighbors to get them into action and book a party with me. So, one finally collapsed 2 weeks ago and said she would like to have it on the 30th of November. Mom called me to tell me the 'good' news and I just dropped everything and ended up in a blurry wirl of beads, necklaces, making booklets, earrings and such... I completely panicked. I always tend to do that, and I am sooooo glad that Dull knows this. I am very happy that he can cope with the wild stare in my eyes, the beads scattered all over the house, daylightbulbs on all evening and me wanting nothing else to do then bead.
"Honey, let's go to the movie tonight," "Uuuhm, sorry babe, but I really need to finish this piece." This went on for the entire 2 weeks.
And then, finally, it was the 30th of November. I put all the jewelry in a bag, got giftwrapping, change and a happy face (and lots of concealer on it to hide the dark circles under my eyes) and I went for it.
In the end, I worried for nothing. It wasn't a very very good party, but I did make some sales, got a few orders and some e-mailadresses and phonenumbers from girls who are interested in giving a party. So all in all, it has been a good night.
I love to do these kind of parties, it usually is a very good way to make some sales and have a nice night. But I really don't like the bewildered type of girl I get during the preparations of these events. I know it gets better when you do more of them, but I just don't seem to be able to persuade people to organise a party. Yesterday was not different. It feels a bit like begging to me. "Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaase will you book a party with me, because I neeeeeeeed the money" That's how it sounds in my head when I start promoting myself, another thing I have to get past, I guess.
So it has been a very educational 2 weeks. The lessons I learned are:
1. Try to get more parties to get used to the preparation-part
2. Keep it together during the preparations
3. In the end, it will all come together.
Now I am off, to take some pictures of the work I didn't sell and to buy Dull a new PS game to thank him for his patience with me during the past two weeks (or 5 years).

Headache - Hoofdpijn
Ik heb toch maar bedacht om in het engels te gaan bloggen. Goede oefening, en ik ben ook te lezen door de blogeigenaars van alle blogs die ik dag in dag uit lees.... Dus, here goes:
This morning, I woke up with a terrible headache, again. So I called in sick, spent the morning in bed and the rest of the day on the couch, with a little blanket and lots of tea. Tried to read some magazines and looked a little on the internet. Still feeling miserable though. Even the big hug my husband gave me didn't help. I hate it when I feel like this. It makes me feel wobbly and sad. And really, who wants to feel like that? Well, tomorrow will be a new day, and who knows what that will bring....
Next weekend, I will start working on my first tutorials. I am planning on making basic-tutorials such as Peyote, RAW and brick stitch, and perhaps later on I will make some for beaded beads and such. I am curious what you want to learn about beading!
This weekend, I've been looking for a serger on the internet. I would love to have one, but my husband reaaaaaaally thinks I don't need one right now. He is far too scared that I will leave my beads and turn into a sewist... Which will probably result in more stuff in the attic. And he also thinks I haven't sewn enough to make such a purchase... Maybe he's right. So I'll just have to start sewing and earn me a serger!
