In any case, I’ve been looking at money. I know a few friends who do the etsy thing, but they’re all American, so I can ask for advice til I’m blue in the teeth, but none of them are going to know a lick about UK income tax and VAT and the way business accounts work over here and all that. Plus all the books I’ve read on that stuff are American as well. So I’ve been trying to do the research here and there while also redesigning the design part of my website in my brain, because it’s going to need an update and an overhaul.

If anyone cares to weigh in on what sort of things they’d buy, that would rock. I’m doing a lot of screenprinting practice runs. I’ve got some plans for posters and things, and I like printing stationery. But I’m also thinking I’ll refine my yoga mat bag and various other simple accessories. I really want to start printing my own fabric, but I think I need to have my own screen to do that because it requires special inks that EP probably don’t let you use on hired screens. And my hired screen just split last week, so any money I had thought about putting towards my own is now going to the repair. Lame. But that’s how it goes. I consoled myself by pointing out that these things could soon count as business expenses.

Anyway, that’s what’s happening around these parts. I’ll try to post something more exciting soon.

Since then:

I’ve been to London where I raided Borough market for the first time, wandered around the city eating raw asparagus all day, went to the Tate and the History museum, and had some good times with friends.

Beer a-plenty.

We went to Germany for a whole week, and I did not send a single postcard, but did drink a lot of beer and eat a lot of giant pretzels and pork products. And also a lot of asparagus. ’tis the season. Pictures on my flickr.

We transformed our boxroom into a respectable (and green) walk-in closet, thus freeing up a lot of space in our flat.

I started Yoga. It’s good stuff.

We’ve seen three movies at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, including Moon, Mary and Max, and Away We Go. I managed to not abduct John Krasinski. I also did not see Sean Connery. All of these movies were really good. Especially Mary and Max and Away We Go. We’ll be seeing The Maiden Heist tomorrow night.

I have designed two websites, both sort of unfinished, but: For Bunny Sake Rabbit Rescue, Zero Hour Theatre

I have also changed the theme of this blog in hopes that not worrying about the design would allow me to worry more about actually using the thing. I’m going to start posting more in this thing. Or at least I’m going to try.
