A Day of Blank Books

Dear Portland,

THANK YOU!

You were so good to me last week!
PicoAccuardi wants me to teach kids knitting classes!
Flora is having a show I will be participating in I believe.
I SOLD a book that was at Flora.
I officially have enough money to buy a ticket to India!!
And today was sooooo productive.

Here are some pictures of what I accomplished today:
The first two are true to color and texture while the other ones, not so much...

 Closure: Single Button Stud

 Closure: Double Button Stud

 Closure: Snap!

 Closure: Leather Strip

So I'm really excited about these projects and that they were started and finished. And I am all inspired and creatively charged. I just want to order a crap ton of paper and keep going!

That is all for now.

busy, Busy, BUSY!

Dear Portland,
So much for communication reform...
I have a valid excuse this time. Well at least I think it's valid and I suppose that's all that counts.
I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY I ENTIRELY FORGOT I EVEN HAVE A BLOG. Seriously. I haven't had a day off from work since DECEMBER. So today was the first day I even thought about blogging or clicking on my little bookmark that takes me to my blogger homepage.

But I truly have been outstandingly slammed with work which makes me equally slammed with exhaustion. There it is. My shamefully overused excuse and attempt at making myself feel better about being so neglectful. The truth is, there has been plenty to write about. Anywhere from stories about retail hell to the cutest kids kissing each other in aftercare and talking about boy/girl sleepovers at 5 years old! My posts to follow will include such events.

A quick update about things:
Finnegan's was fun as always.
Now I work at Finnegan's Village Toys (basically the same thing just in Bridgeport Village which is totally disgusting, but it's only 3 days a week so I will deal).
Flora remodeled! (come in for some tea)
Waldorf has been taking up much of my time this month (big money!).
Much less nannying for the coolest boys ever (sad).
Finally back to the Dyeworks with the wonderful inspiring ladies and their yarns.
I AM GOING TO INDIA IN MARCH!!

I think that is good enough for now. As I said the last 3 months have been utter insanity and I will be posting more now. At least I hope so. But I will not promise because, as we all know, I'm not very good at keeping my promises...
