a {craft} room of one's own.

Greetings! Sorry I'm so lame lately.

Hopefully this will make up for it.

I've been needing to do something about our dining room for a while. Previously it served as pantry storage, computer desk area, and where the dining table was... with one chair... that was only used as table-top storage.

And then I had this other problem - it's hard for me to do anything artsy or crafty unless I have some place to be inspired or creative in. Thus - my genius idea.

Transform the dining room into my craft room!

We are an "eat in front of the tv" home (not what I want forever, but this is us for now), and the dining room was just sucking away precious space in our small apartment.

A day off ended up being a day of work anyway...but the fun kind :  )

Anyone need a round dining table?

training.

Finally landed a part time job! It was nothing of my own doing. A friend knew I was looking, her work was hiring someone...ba-da-big, ba-da-boom! Job'd.

It's part time and I'm totally fine with that. It's at a drop off dry cleaners so there is always something to do making the time go by pretty fast. People have asked what I will be doing and all I can think to say is "I don't know?" I've had two days of training so far and this pretty much sums it about up:

Tagging, shaving, marking, stapling, foiling buttons, folding...

I think I get to go on computers on Thursday. Oh training. It's like syllabus week. Love it.

Oh, and it's in the Nob Hill / NW 23rd part of downtown (love!) which is super fun and, when payday comes, a HUGE temptation of shops and food I want to buy!

Starbucks, Goodwill, thai food, desserts, and more - oh my!
