Being busy.

Hi my hot cute girly geeks and boy geeks of course. As you have noticed by now I haven’t written a lot of new blogs. Life’s been busy.

For the moment I’m really concentrating on my etsy shop. I have a lot of fun knitting and crocheting geeky stuff and also a bit of designing as well. It takes up more and more of my time, which I don’t mind at all. At the moment my etsy funds (the part I don’t need for new materials and such) are being used for my new tattoo.

The tattoo is something I’ve wanted for some time now but I really want to get it while I’m in Cardiff. And I can only go to Cardiff if I get a contract renewal. I have my final appraisal in July so keep your fingers crossed. I really hope I do get a renewal. I mean, I love my new job and my colleagues and I love going to work every day.

Although I work less hours with my new job I feel like I don’t have enough spare time. Which has nothing to do with my job, but more with everything else. Cleaning my house, grocery shopping, giving medication to my mum’s cat everyday (because she can’t do it) keeping up with my social life and with boyfriend and keeping up with all my etsy orders.

This is also cutting into my reading time. At the moment I’m only reading when commuting to and from work and at night before I go to bed. And since I’m tired as hell, which for me is the time of the year, I don’t read that much. The being tired part is the biggest of my current problems and part of why I’m doing half the things I want to do.

Seeing as I don’t commute that much during working hours, all my house calls for my new job are either within cycling or walking distance, also means I can’t read and tweet. I miss tweeting but it’s too much a hassle for the moment to follow everything.

I also made a Facebook page for my etsy shop, in the hope of getting more orders. Summer time is coming and business is slow. I’m also planning to attend my first convention with my shop. I’m waiting back on what the costs are. Dutch Comic Con isn’t until the end of March next year, but I do need to make stuff which I can sell. And I need to finish this before the holiday season begins as well.

And I contacted a friend of mine who is an epic designer. The plan last year was to redesign this website, but since I spend more time on etsy she’s now designing a new banner and logo. With that new logo I can also make business cards, yay!

Coming back to my Facebook page. Like I said I linked it to my etsy shop. I have regular updates of the stuff I make, what I’m shipping and loads of pictures with links as well. You should check it out. I’m also doing discount codes and give-aways with enough followers (or whenever I feel like it). Click the link and like my page!

So yep, this is my life at the moment, work, crochet, read, eat, sleep and repeat.

Love, your own hot cute girly geek, Mendy

I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry…

Ok, maybe not that sorry, but you catch my drift.

Hi my hot cute girly geeks and boy geeks of course. As you all know, I’m still freakishly busy with work, my English CPE studies, and 2 different mandatory courses from work.

Yeah, I’m not a happy camper at the moment. Luckily I had my first exam last Saturday and I think it went well. Just a tad bit careful, I want my marks back before I go out celebrating.

Now, seeing as the 12^th of June is my writing exam and a good part of this exam is writing an essay / review / article, I need to practice. And what better way is using my blog to do said practice.

I know I still make grammar errors, so don’t go busting my ass if I make mistakes in my posts, but I’m going to try to blog at least once every two days during weekdays.

But I also want to make it up to you. I will host an epic give away at the end of June. June 19^th to be precise.

Seeing as I hate raffle copter give-aways I want to try something different. On the morning of the 19^th of June at 11.00 AM my time I will post my give away post. And you can leave a comment to said blog post. I will give away 3 prices.

First price is a self knitted hat or tablet cosy which you can choose from my Etsy web shop, and second price will be a self-knitted phone cosy, which you can also choose from my web shop. I’m still thinking about an epic third price, maybe, something Tekira makes. She is creative as well. But I have to talk to her about it.

The most original comments will win prices and the winners will be picked by Tekira and myself. The give away will be open until the 30^th of June 11 pm Dutchie time. Oh and one important detail, you have to be following me on this blog. You can share all you want (yes please), but it won’t make any difference in your chances of winning.

The give away will be opened worldwide.

So how about that. I for one think it’s very cool.

Here’s to me sticking to new found resolutions, and hope to see you soon.

And I’ll leave you with this epic parody by the Hillywood show, dancing Doctor Who.

Love, your own hot cute girly geek Mendy.
