Hooray for Progress!

This has been a productive week so far in the studio. The creative juices are flowing and progress is being made. Also on the business front it's finally time to go to the galleries! On the weekend a friend and I went to a few galleries in town and had some really good conversations so there's one gallery in town I plan on approaching next week and this weekend I heading up to cottage country with the boyfriend to talk to another gallery owner. Wish me luck! and have a peek at some of the pretties that have come out of the studio this week:

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?

Greener Pastures

Well once again I'm about to be unemployed. Sometimes when something seems too good to be true it's because they are. There were some changes in management right after I started working at this jewellery store and now it doesn't look like I'd be getting tools for quite a while. I also wasn't getting enough hours to make a living off of, especially when I had to drive 45 min just to get to work. So on to greener pastures. I'm really not cut out for retail anyways.

So I've contacted a former employer, sent my resume out to a few places. We'll see. In the mean time I've got 2 weeks left at my current job and I've got a few commissions I'm working on so nothing to worry about ^_^

It's kind of silly since I've been out of school for over a year now but I still feel like I'm supposed to be going back to school. Does everyone feel that way? What's this whole getting older thing about anyways?

Been a while

Yes it's been a while since I've posted anything on here but I have most definitely been a busy girl. I had some issues with my internet near the end of April since my bandwidth got lowered by Rogers and then May turned out to be the busiest month I've had in a long time.

One of my many enterprises over the past month was making a wedding gift for my friend. Since I had very little access to the internet my evenings were spent watching Supernatural and knitting to my hearts content. I knit a beautiful afghan for my friend and her new husband as a wedding gift. I'm actually quite proud of how it turned out.

There have also been quite a few changes at work which ended up with additions to my schedule and little time to work at home. Thankfully some of those changes have slowed down and I'm getting to work on a few commissions.

Also in regards to my jewellery I'm making myself a new website. A friend of mine has been running my current website but with her starting a new job and moving to Toronto she hasn't been able to update it in quite some time. By making a new one myself I'll be able to update it whenever I need to. My domain needs to be renewed in June so I'll be able to switch my website over to the new one very soon. If you'd like to see what I've got so far see my new website here!
