So I spent a few days at home, nursing a giant cold sore and a few canker sores (gross) realizing that stress will always manifest itself in some fashion. But still working. A lot of knitting can happen from the couch.
I used my gorgeous Paula calendar to write out a proper production schedule for the next three weeks, making sure that nothing is left out of inventory replacement.
Or so I thought. When the show called today and asked for a few more days on set next week and the following, I almost lost my lunch. Each minute of every day is crafted to create the maximum inventory for Butterdome.
Confession: I loved working on the show: with the wheel and the people. And it’s one thing I do that is not about inventory so how could I say no. Also, it is Robert Carlyle….who needs justification for that?
John, who is always reminding me how much sleep I need to get, is now calculating how much I can safely live without. It’s a small margin, let me tell you.
Here are a few before and after pics of the Circle Craft set up for you until the next time I update the blog.
The set up was pretty intense. Driven straight from Williams Lake and plopped into the booth. Ignored for several hours and then tossed up with rapid fire pace.
This photo is a bit more civilized. All that was left of the hand spun.
Hey, I think I may even get more done by trying to juggle both scenarios. A day on the set makes for awesome studio chat later. And due to Kristen’s last coffee run, we have enough java to last us through to the new year.
