It's been a bit quieter this week so I've had a chance to get some other stuff done I've had waiting on the backburner for some time.

Yesterday we headed off the the States to hit up our favorites- Trader Joe's, Target, Kohl's and Joann! Wow Joann is awesome- a return trip soon is needed! Anyway, right before we left, my Free Swatch Day from Spoonflower swatch arrived- I got one of my derby fabric print, it turned out perfecto!

Inside cover- (must have a place where they attach an envelope where they put the "Library" card for the show and a bio about the artist.)

Work is crazy busy and I'm taking on new projects like mad- keeping on top of everything and  getting stuff done in decent time. But it leaves not much time for non-work stuff, including blogging. (And driving practice. Yikes!) I was going to say "fun" stuff but I love my work and for the most part it's all fun to me. Even the less artistic stuff like recreating logos into a screenprintable format, or converting Word files into usable artwork- no it's not glamourous but yes, it helps keep a roof over our heads so I'm not complaining!

Anyways! this week was a total doozy- I was up and at work insanely early pretty much every day, and by mid-Friday was done like dinner. Time to stop for the week. Needed some non-computer time. By this point all I could do was sit and knit, so I did. I have a few knit things on the go, more about those as they get completed.

But today, after a relatively decent sleep for a change, I feel in a crafty mood once again.

One quick phonecall from my fab friend Cynthia yesterday and we were on the road to Quilt Essentials for their big summer sale! Have you ever been? They have a massive table set up in the centre of the store covered in piles and piles of cuts of fabrics- you just start grabbing to fill the bag they give you and then pay by weight when you're done. I set myself a budget of $40, I stayed under at $37!

As a result, my poor little blog has been ignored all week...sigh....

I am debating whether to get the redesign and move to WordPress underway and done. We were waiting as our current host will be expiring in a couple of months and we plan to move it and do it all then but I'm kinda tired of it now and it's not really "me" anymore you know? Anyways, a revamp will be coming sooner or later. And I forgot my blogaversary again. And forget to update and forget to take photos. Hmmm. Chalk it up to being super busy with work, which is awesome!

 

Anyways!
