April, off to an awesome start.

[wonderlandq]

I've made some changes in my life, and on the whole everything is grand.

1. I'm currently unemployed, but taking on small jobs as they come. I'm looking to work 4 days a week, and right now that's day to day which is fine. I've got one permanent job so far, sewing for forestbound. Awesome, yeah

i'll update you on printing later today!! we can make plans to do your invites whenever

[wonderlandq]

hahahah....thanks? i was thinking "this is going to come off as mean and self-righteous" glad it didn't.

did you go to mcauley easter with mom and dad yesterday?

[supersnackcake]

YES to this! NO to whiners! My big issue, which I had hoped to solve with my mass unfriending and didn't, is people who whine but do nothing about it. Complaining is good; complain, vent, then ACT. Whining is for people with no spines, and I have no room for them in an already jam-packed life.

I heart CVS Extra Bucks.

Will you post when your headbands go up on etsy? I've been ogling them in your Flickr and may finally need to snag one for my own.

Also, forestbound looks super cool.

[wonderlandq]

they are in my etsy shop! i just have a new one...http://sewmaryann.etsy.com
i think there are 10 there now? i'll be making TONS over the next few weeks.

i've blocked more people than i read on facebook...i am so sick of "ugh...MONDAY" and everything else!

[supersnackcake]

Now I just have to answer the difficult question: gray or green?

Ugh Monday! Yay Friday! I'm tired! Work sucks! Some crap happened on my Farmville! Ugh Monday!

[wonderlandq]

EXACTLY. it frustrates me beyond belief!

the headbands on etsy are kind of large, but i'll be making TONS more soon. If there's a specific color range you are looking for, let me know. I work with this, so there's tons of options: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=43867287

I can mail you a bunch to try on, and you can pick that way if you'd like!

A+++ post!

Did you apply to the newburyport spring fair?
I feel like i'm throwing myself into the lions pit on this one. I'm nervous that it's going to be fussy old ladies who don't like bright colors but WE WILL SEE. If it rules I hope EVERYONE applies for the one in October... And I'm excited at (potentially) ArtBeat!

I can't wait to see yer prints!

[wonderlandq]

i ALMOST did a weymouth easter fair, but i was too nervous. i'm up for ANY outside fairs!! i'll probably apply to crafty bastards in october, but if this is a different weekend, i'm in!

[sarahcoyne]

!!!!!!!!!
Part of me would LOVE to do Crafty Bastards but part of me is so nervous to do one so far from home!

The Nwbrypt one is Columbo Day weekend - 10 /10 & 10/11. And the app for the spring one is still up! :)

[wonderlandq]

i figure i can only flood the MA market with so many headbands, so i need to travel!!

the memorial day one is way outside my budget right now!

1. Forestbound looks fabulous. Yes, awesome!
2. I just started making real plans with people that don't involve children and parkdays. It's kind of all right to be a little social sometimes. I might even, you know,...LIKE it. Weird!
3. A little Spring Cleaning in the friend department is sometimes necessary and relieving.
4. Me, too! And I'm really enjoying it, except that I wish sometimes there were three of me or several extra hours in the day in which I didn't need to sleep. I have not forgotten about kits for Magpie...just overwhelmed until summer, and then hopefully we're moving back to New England!

[wonderlandq]

forestbound is fabulous! she's been at the BBB the past two years, but i never talked to her. i went by her studio last week, and i love everything she's doing so i'll be proud to make those bags!

no rush on magpie! i dont REALLY work there right now, but i can help any time with ideas!

as for the friends...i have SO many friends that i have effortless fun with, that i'm giving up on the difficult ones. some i miss, some i won't...
