That just shows you how our fuel price has increased since 2005! It went up to R6.00 p/l last night and at today's exchange rate of $6 to the Rand it is $36 a liter. Luckily my consumption is up to 30 km/l if I use my motorcycle; better than the 8 km/l of my car!
My pattern sales are o.k, I did not have many new ones in the latest WTB catalog, but have more than 40 new patterns in the one coming out in July. If I do not substitute my scroll related income with other craft sales, I would not be able to make ends meet. It's a tough industry to be in.
Btw, I came across an angel pattern of yours the other day on a free PSP tubes site, wondered if it was there with your permission?
