Once again... been a while

Well seems I've done it again. Completely ignored my blog. Well since no body actually reads this blog I guess you'll forgive me right? :P

Anyways I have been pretty busy the last couple months. I've been thrilled to be decorating my apartment to my hearts content. Of course it'll never truly be finished but it looks pretty fabulous and I couldn't be happier to live there.

So now that my apartment is more or less complete I've turned much of my attention to crafting! I recently completed a baby kimono that I made as a gift for a friend who just had a beautiful baby girl. This is my first friend to have a baby and I'm thrilled to be able to start making adorable little gifts!


My new obsession lately is also quilting! After a trip to this year's MCC Relief Sale I was bitten by the quilting bug so expect some posts about fabric and quilting!
Now it's time for me to head to work! Enjoy the rest of your weeks!

Small confession

First day with the entire place to myself since by boyfriend came to stay for most of last week. I now must confess I did absolutely NOTHING productive with it. I went to the yarn store and bought new needles... then proceeded to knit an entire hat in the course of the afternoon and evening. At least it was for charity? Tomorrow I must either go into the studio and work on commissions or go to the temp agency to get set up to hopefully get into electronics manufacturing. Or do both as that's what my parents will ask me when they get home from vacation. I am enjoying having my own place far too much. I need a job to make this permanent. Time to get my butt in gear! Any motivational advice?

Alive but Lazy.

Well that kind of describes me in regards to my computer lately. Now that I have a job I've kind of been avoiding my computer lately. Well been avoiding it since Easter anyways in favor of other activities. My best friend has bitten me with the knitting bug lately so when I'm at home I seem to simply been watching episodes of Supernatural or Ghost Whisperer and knitting up a storm. I've started and afghan and I'm a little obsessed.

On the business side of things I must admit that I've gotten very little done. Since the begining of the month I haven't done much on Etsy - I must admit the total lack of sales has made me loose most of my interest not to mention hope in making any money off of Etsy. Also since starting my new job I haven't been taking any opportunities to get into the studio. To be perfectly honest when I am in the studio I'm not all that inspired. For the moment though with getting used to my new job and my schedule for the next month is starting to look pretty darn full. I'm thinking I might take a bit of a break from the biz. I have a few commissions that I'm working on the design phase for but other than that I think I'm going to hold off for a while. Let my mind re-orient itself to my new way of life so I can figure out where things are going to fit. Is this a bad idea? I hope not. :)
