I had two big tumbles in front of everybody (embarrassing, but it happens to everyone) and I lost track of how many times I fell over while practicing by myself, but I had my knee pads on so I was good. Because my skates are so horrible (One of the girls said that it looked like they had a twisted axle or something like that) I have to use one of the spare pairs until I get my own, and getting used to new skates takes a bit. But it was good and everyone there is very friendly and encouraging. Hopefully in a few weeks time I will be able to practice with the girls, and maybe I will be ready for the start of the season this time next year (fingers crossed). Until then, I will struggle along and try not to give up (because catching up with the others might take a while, and I am usually the type of girl who tends to give up easily). But I am enjoying watching the other girls, I just can't wait until I am good enough to play with them. ♥♥♥
Also, just a little side note: I am going into Napier of Wednesday to buy more supplies to make more clips (YAY!) so I shall spend my time between then and Jenni arriving furiously making clips (so how much should I sell them for on trade me? should I sell them as singles or in pairs? HELP please).

And FINALLY While I was visiting my Grandmother on Saturday I found that she was using the most adorable silver charms on some of her bracelets (she makes VERY beautiful jewelery, I will post a blog about some of her stuff one day). They are cute little pistols! Even though she had used all hers up, she told me where I could order some of my own. Now its a kiwi site so postage will be cheap, and it is only $4 for 10 pistols (40cents each, what the hells that's so cheap!). However she is out of stock :( so as soon as they are in stock I am going to buy two sets and turn them into earring (and I know what I want them to look like!) so I am going to post a link to this site for any one who is interested in crafty stuff like me: http://www.beadaholic.co.nz
Pistol earrings are very Bad Ass Skater Girl with the Mean Skillz.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a cool bead website. I could add some more beads to my collection that I never get around to doing anything with.
Sounds like you're on the road to skating awesomness! I'd totally be down for helping with clip making this weekend if I get a clip of my own out of it..
ReplyDeletepricewise you should nose around on trademe to see what similar stuff is going for..
And did you Have to use a profile pic with my freakishly luminescent face in it?!
