Starting a new job

Well, tomorrow I start my new temporary job. It is office work, which I have done before. But working at the family business has its perks. I sleep in if I have been up late. I can start my work (computer stuff) in my jammies before I go out to the shop. And I don't have to drive in the snow.

The new job will be 8 to 5 office attire. Better make sure I've got the clothes ready. And that I get to bed on time. I feel like a kid starting at a new school!!!

I'd rather stay home and knit. But I will survive. Probably even like it.

Later!

Time Goes So Quickly!!!


I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I posted. Ill health has taken a big chunk of my summer. And we are 'restructuring' our business (amazing how much time making puppets can take!!) I have a store on etsy.com (threadbenders.etsy.com), and am in awe of how much time it takes to promote stuff. How can I be MAKING things to sell if I spend all my time promoting my stuff? What a quandary. If you get a chance to look at my store, let me know what you think. I am still wanting to 'fill' it, but am just so busy!!


As if that isn't enough, I had told a friend last spring that I would fill in for one of her co-workers this fall when she goes in to have her baby. Fall is here!!! And they are taking the baby early, so I start work on Thursday.


Anyway, I will be needing my fiber stuff to keep me sane over the next 2 months. And my fiber groups!!


Here is the pic of the dishcloth cotton Fishies Afghan I made. It has been done for more than a month, but.....I really have no excuse for not posting the pic! lol
Come see us. It is a great project for using up your little bits of yarn.
