What a fantastic day!
I started in our new apartment which I love, and have only been there overnight. I have a HUGE closet! I have always lived in old houses that barely even have closets, and now I have a giant one all to myself!
After that I had a sale right off at the shop, and got some work done, and then my dog Simon came and played shop dog.
Here he is, watching the front!
As I was waiting for my dog to show up I had a lady come in who wanted a bag for each of her three daughters. Then she decided she needed one for herself as well, and bought 4 in total. I love it when people buy in multiples! As I was ringing her up, my dog and mom came, and I got to hang out with my mom for a bit. Then, some friends from Tacoma appeared in the shop. One of my most favorite people in the whole world, her boyfriend, and her good friend/roommate stopped by because they are in town for a concert tomorrow. James and I are going too, and I am excited. The guy is called Andrew Bird, and I love what I have heard so far.
Lets see, lets see, what else?! It has been so good I have forgotten half of it because each event gets bumped out by an even better one! I am doing Project B'ham in october, and Seattle Fashion Week is next week. I am going to "accessorize a designer" for the runway show, and sell at the trunk sale next saturday October 7th. Here's their site: http://www.seattlefashionindustry.com/
I finished a custom order for a customer who is going to a Train concert this week. She wanted the crown like on their albums. I am pretty excited about it!
And, if you look at the cover art, I think I did a pretty good job!
And, I decided when I did the Allied Arts Holiday Fest here in Bellingham last year that you could get all of your christmas shopping done there (like I did!) except for kids. There were no handmade toys. So, I have since started making bears out of recycled sweaters, like cashmere. But alas, I thought I was too late to get them into the fest this year. Today I found out they are doing a second screening, so I am totally jurying in my bears next weekend! Yay!
And finally, since this is all I can remember, and this is long enough already: James had offered to stay on part-time at work if they hadn't found a new person by the time his last day rolled around. I was fine with it, since we would get a little extra guaranteed money, but wished we would get on the same schedule sooner. Today his boss told him that he had done everything he was suppose to, and didn't need to do that! Yay! He's full-time with me as of Oct 7th!
Oh and one more thing- my web designer had said she didn't have enough time to update my site for fall since she is so amazing she is super busy. Today she said she would do what she could this weekend! Now I don't have to screw anything up on there! Wohoo! I think she is going to get a special present from me......
Happy Friday!
