hibernate

The dreaded illness has come over me. Is there such an illness as just purely exhausted? I feel so sleepy that I slept for 14 hours straight last night, and 12 hours the night before. Nyquil may have had something to do with that too. Maybe.

I did find the energy to post this pillow to my etsy shop. It took me a while partly because I was considering keeping it for myself.

Can you believe I found this poor little original Knoll Saarinen Tulip side table with a sign taped to it that said "TRASH"?! Me, neither. It's a bit roughed up, but that's just the way I like 'em.

Back to sleep for me - have a good week!

shhhh

This weekend I want to have a photo adventure outside of my house.

This might be a photo blog for a little while.

cast on

if you checked in earlier, you may have seen a long-winded year end wrap-up in which I reflect on not reflecting, etc.
I deleted it. Too boring, and it was more negative than I feel so I just wiped it out. Magic!


Happy New Year!

hello lovelies

hi

it's been awhile.

Did I mention I have a regular job now?

one that I have to show up to EVERY DAY?

I like it.

But I do miss this...

At least for this week, I can enjoy true free time...


SOMEONE has a really awesome BFF (boyfriend forever) who got her a Nikon D90 for xmas, so SOMEONE is trying to figure out how to make pretty pictures with it.

Hoping to be back more this week with progress on picture-making.
Do something really nice for yourself today - you deserve it!

who needs october anyway

Art V Craft was awesome! Thanks to everyone who came out and to Sherie for helping me all day. My face is sore from all the smiling.

OOPS
It has come to my attention that the month of October was missing from a few calendars that were purchased at Art v Craft. If yours is missing, please email me (amy.soczka@gmail.com) and I will send it out to you right away. I am so sorry for that inconvenience!

NEW LIFE
Tomorrow I will start working full time for the first time in almost two years. What!? Yes, it's true, I am a working girl. I am going to wear shoes every day from 8 - 5 and interact with other professionals and not sing to my dog or go to the gym in the middle of the day. Wish me luck.

oh, hi thursday.

guys. I don't know what happened, but it's Thursday again and my head is spinning. This is GOOD though! I have had a huge response to the calendars, and getting them printed, packaged, and shipped has been my top priority. Things are a-changin' around here:

1. I am now employed full-time by a large company and will start this job the Monday following Thanksgiving. Oh my gosh. This means that I will have a regular person's schedule during the week, which also means less time to play here and in my studio. I'm a little sad about that but more happy to have consistent work.

2. I am hosting Thanksgiving for my whole family here in my house for the first time.

3. I am turning 31 this Saturday. I am trying not to care that it's my birthday, but a part of me will always be a little kid, making wishes and blowing out candles.

4. Art vs Craft! November 28th!

I will not be adding new things to etsy until after Art vs Craft - I need to keep the stockpile high!

big stuff

SHIPPED

whew! I have shipped ALL calendar orders that were placed before November 10. Those placed after will go out next week.

I had more to say and images to share, but you know what? I am TIRED. I'll be back Monday with shop updates and pics and general tom-foolery. Do something nice for yourselves this weekend - you deserve it! I will be having an early Thanksgiving with my family and more than likely a game of Dominos will be in full effect. Train up!

recovery!

Wow, I should really not blog when I'm angry. Noted.

Things are all better now, and I am sending out batches of calendars every day. They look very nice, all stacked and wrapped, and properly cut. Big sigh of relief.

LEATHER
I am hoping to start posting my leather clutches to etsy this week too, but first I have to cross about 7 other things off my list. Feels good.

More soon...
