Grey skys & coffee

Well, a bit of a late start today. Having my "morning" coffee at 10:30 am but that's okay since I'm my own boss (I like to remind myself sometimes).

There is nothing I hate more than applying for jobs and yesterday I bit the bullet and walked into Michaels gripping my filled out application ready to give it to the manager but first I had to stroll the isles to make sure I didn't need any supplies. I picked up some felt for owls and of course forgot to get pin backs cause I was distracted by all the easter decorations, most of which were total crap. There were these little tiny tiny fuzzy birds that I wanted but the new rule is no impulse shopping (eek!), so they stayed on the shelf looking at me with there mini eyes.

I proceeded to check out and asked the cashier to give my application to the manager. She said they wern't hiring and I stumbled around asking a few other questions and then just asked her to give it to them anyhow since it was all ready to go. lame.

Why was I applying for another job since I barely have time as it is? Well, working freelance is sorta making me insane, waiting on money and not knowing if I will have any income is starting to take it's toll. So, I was thinking 2-3 days somewhere would be a good buffer for grocery money or something. Really, I don't think it's going to happen but I have to go through the motions or else I am just wallowing in my broke-ass-ness!

Today involves lugging the sewing machine to the Boat to sew while I'm there, I have an order of 24 messenger owls that needs to be shipped a.s.a.p. they are for this lovely site that just picked up my line called elsewears.com.

Also I'm meeting with Mr. Tiber who is the genius behind all my websites.... the new Art vs. Craft site will be launching with applications in a few weeks. So far he has blown me away with his design work as usual and I'm super excited to get it all together!

One last exciting thing!! Last night I sent off for the postcards for the next show at the Boat, Sarah Neuburger's " The Forward March, The Little Small Clothespin People Brigade". I cannot wait to see all her little peeps on our walls!
If I was you I would check out her photo set of all her peeps to date on flickr HERE it is almost too much cuteness to deal with!
