Minor update.


Wow its really amazing what having my desk cleaned off can do.

Yesterday I went to a bridal expo. No I'm not getting married, apparently you need another person to get married to for that. Many of my friends are or have, though. There was a fashion show. I made these sketches when I was at coffee today however.

I also worked more on a job I've been not doing. I like where its going, but I don't know if its going to turn out like I want. It may require some more artsy fartsy treatments than just throwing a half tone on it. Because Oooo I learned how to create the halftone look! Stupidly excited about that one. Probably never going to get to use it!

I made a goal for myself, because I suspect that even if I don't think they work for me I might be wrong. I just don't get super excited when I meet my goal because, I'm past it at that point seeing something else out there. But if I don't have points to hit along the way I tend not to get anywhere? That is the hypothesis anyhow.

What?! Oh updates!

I really want to say that I've been doing nothing much and being a slacker. I have been doing things and now I feel like I deserve to nap for the rest of the winter.

I don't know if there will ever be a christmas where I don't make something for someone.

This year was mostly hand warmers, and accidentally scarves. I didn't actually give those as gifts, but mostly made them on request. That is a lot of knitting! And I still didn't really get rid of my yarn and/or bought more. I really only want it gone so I can make more things with new yarn.

Lately though I've had the itch to have nothing at all to do with yarn. But it is very easy to work with and doesn't require me to clean. Just to know where all my little sticks and bits are.

I did get to serve coffee to my sister today, something I wanted to do in my room for a while. Furniture will need rearranging and I need to find one of those little hex wrenches for ikea stuff. I got gifted two ikea end tables, and have no way of putting them together! I'm going to see about getting longer legs for one of them so it's at table height instead. It would be a matter of getting the wood and having someone drill holes. I could be especially po-dunk and just hammer blocks on the bottom...

maybe I'll see if the washer is done and if we have a hex wrench...
