…more than I can chew? Eee by gum I hope not. I’ll be setting up at the Community Carnival this afternoon, which starts tomorrow and runs over 4 days. Incredible Rob has taken time off from work to help me. Don’t know how I’d manage without him. I’m still waiting for the printing people to let me know that my signage is ready (hurry UP dammit) and this morning I finished another hat order for the preschool. Almost on my way to Stellenbosch just now to deliver them, I remembered to pause and take some pics…
I cam away with orders for the fleece beanies and aprons for the staff. That makes Gemsy and me very happy. But for now – it’s Carnival time!
Nice piece of work 
LOVE those ear beanies!
Thanks, chum. I had to find a way of making earflap beanies that is more cost and time efficient!
Makes sense. You nailed it!
Always the most supportive comments from you, my dear :-)
only the truth x
Just beautiful! And good luck for the next 4 days. Jane
Thank you, Jane. Fingers crossed …and Red Bull stockpiled ….. :-)
Have fun, sell everything, give out lots of business cards, and I’ll send up some prayers the signage arrives in time. Photos after, please!
Thank you ! Rob is in charge of photography, and the guys have just confirmed signage ready by tomorrow morning (I had to change the design, though :()
:-)
I like the blue one with the tie-die effect. I’ll have two. :-)
I liked that one, too. Must try and get more of that fabric. Clearly you’re being optimistic about whatever scrap of summer you’ll get this year? :-)
And I thought you might have done some tie-dying yourself!
You are rocking it!!! The earflap beanies are DIVINE ~ I heart them so much!
Thanks Lisa, I like them too – but I think they might be a bit plain for the Carnival – going to get busy with owl eyes and cat’s whiskers this evening…. Plus my fabric glitter liners and stick-on glow-in-the-dark stars…. hahaha
We’ve just got back from checking out the venue – it’s HUGE and all the marquees are up and there are loads of people wheeling crates of beer and wine all over – so, looking promising ! :-)
I’m so excited for you!!! Glitter and whiskers and eyes sound like great additions. Maybe try some bright & funky fabric or ribbon bows by one ear a la ‘hello kitty’ style? Best to you friend ~ wish I was there ~ MUAH! :)
Another thought ~ use and eraser to make polka dots in metallic paint in a little heart or star shape near an ear???
Hope it goes well. Love the fleece beanies.
Thank you.
Love your colourful hats Jill! Have fun! xx
You will do well! <3 <3 <3

Cakes look heavenly. You look fabulous!!! And what a sweet little blue heart <3
Hope all goes well. Being busy is better than not? ☺️
Yes, indeed :-) Enjoying it, actually. The first night of the carnival was beset with teething problems – hopefully sorted today.
It sounds as if those teething problems did get sorted out.x
