The economic crisis almost cost me and possibly thousands of Icelanders the highlight of their year.
What is that you may ask? Well the New Years Eve fireworks of course. Our banks are still unable to process foreign payments/transfers, so the importer of the fireworks is unable to pay the Chinese company! Luckily for us they have a good relationship after years of business together and seeing as the profits from the fireworks go to a good cause, the Chinese company have agreed to give the remaining items on credit. YAY
Landsbjörg are the people involved in importing most of the fireworks into Iceland. They are an association of volunteer search and rescue teams. They receive most of their income from the sale of the fireworks.
Lets hope we can all still afford to buy them and end this tumultuous year with many a big happy BANG!
In other news I am very unmotivated to make any crafts. I have begun a design for my father's xmas gift, which looks good so far. Other than that I have no ideas!
There has been lots of snow and sleet over the last few days, so it's mostly gone now. Winter is officially here :D
