The Boss Man

Busy Supervising. Very busy.

The new digs

Moved into my new place over the last few weeks... it's been slow moving though, since I've been super busy with my other jobs (other than moving).

So here's the studio:

It doesn't look like that anymore. It looks worse.

I haven't quite moved ALL the furniture over, and have been sewing quite a bit as well.

so... I guess I should get working on that instead of this?

I'll post the "after" photo when I'm not quite as ashamed!

Cargoh re-hauled their website and it looks great!

My store needs some serious work to get up to par with the design of the rest of the site, so I'm working on it. A new banner is on its way to fit the new design and a bunch of new camera straps and covers will be featured soon! Soon, I promise!

Another Snow Storm

is coming! 3-6", which isn't too bad, but I have a some place to be in the AM and wasn't planning on shoveling my car out!

In happier news, the impending snow makes Aidan's friends (the thistle eating chickadees and finches) crazy for food and come visit. He's been lonely lately and some visits with friends is the highlight of his day (well next to coffee, dinner and snack times)!

Well, time to run out and get my paycheck, milk, bread and bananas!

Welcome Spring!

View from my bedroom window this lovely spring day!

Weather

It's 65 degrees out. Feels tropical.

It's awesome.

Holy Bat Batman!

and speaking of the coupons...

CVS had a deal this past week where if you bought $15 worth of Planters NUT-rition bars, you got $5 Extra Bucks back. I love the energy ones- the boxes are normally $3.39/each for 5 bars... but they were on sale for $2.50 each.

So I bought 6 of them. Had $1 off coupons for each one, got $5 back... final cost: $0.67 a box.

Sweet.

Won't have to buy those again for awhile- just need to pace myself. They're so delicious and really fill me up.

Got a good deal on cereal and milk too- which is great since I'm beyond broke! =]

Extreme Couponing

Ok, I thought of something to report on.

TLC has ordered 12 episodes of Extreme Couponing and I'll be watching every single one.

Please, please, please shoot me if I ever do this. I'm all for the deals, but I'm not going to be buying and STOCKPILING 140 years worth of TP or deodorant.

I've started doing the couponing thing for real- I've tried it before, but it just turns into a mess. This time, I'm much more organized... but I'm not going to be dumpster diving either. There are LINES that I'm NOT willing to CROSS. Sorry.

It is so amazing that people can get $5000+ worth of stuff for $250, but what's he going to do with 100 toothbrushes? Why aren't these people donating more to the foodbanks and spending more time with their significant others? 70 hours a week isn't awesome. Time is money, and they're not saving anything, certainly not their marriages. It's hoarding. And scary.

*steps off soap box*

Spring

I'm ready for it!

It's pouring out today- but at least we have little risk of a tsunami hitting CT any time soon. There are always things to be thankful for.

I need sunshine. No winter has been as hard on me as this one has been, and I think I'm SEVERELY vitamin D deficient!!

I don't have any news to report, nothing interesting to say. Sorry! Bring me some sun and we'll talk... until then....

Cabin Fever

I've got it. I mean, I got in.

I'm going to be showing at the Cabin Fever craft fair in Boston, on February 13th. I'm super nervous about it, and I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to things like this, so I really need to get my ass in gear and start sewing. I've been focusing on how to best utilize a 7'x7' space to display camera straps and guitar straps- without spending a ton of money.

So instead of sewing, I'm writing a blog, which I haven't done since like October. Good job Liz, good job.

Ok- I'm off- wish me luck!!
