Slow down

"The soul requires duration of time -- rich, thick, deep, velvety time -- and it thrives on rhythm. Soul can’t be hurried or harried .... We may go through many events in the day and experience nothing because the soul has not had the opportunity to feel them from many different points of view."

-- Robert Sardello

"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery."

-- H. G. Wells

"The well of Providence is deep. It’s the buckets we bring to it that are small."

-- Mary Webb

Build a new relationship with the time of your life.

I was sooooo pleased with my FIRST SALE at AWE!some CROCHET studio/boutique yesterday that I almost wanted to post the bill in a frame--hey, I may still do that!  And it even wasn't on a day that I normally come in, but it was a gr8 day for a sale! 

Yippeee, I found my camera

again

I'm 4ever misplacing that thang--I wish I could put some sort of buzzer in it so when I clap, "call", shout for it, well....It's a bit frustrating not having it since I'm always designing and finishing up, well, most projects I have an inkling to complete...

Final few days of my p/t job so I'll be f/t for me from now on, OH YEAH!  Also, I started selling Avon and already left a book at the shop and found out they've been asking for a representative in the area, holla!

Well, up above I'm extremely proud of myself--no, no, not just that gorgeous crochet outfit but the blinkies and filling in with the background.  I saw it on someone's myspace profile and thought and thought how could it be done....wala, did it, mark it done!!! 

my face is hurting--I'm so proud....

later

the Hook is calling

and if I don't answer

it comes a pinging down the hall after me

I'm not your pet, Hook!  Chill and let me breathe....

You think that's its way of loving on me?!

hmmmmm

I know the yarn is always tangling itself around/about me, as if tripping over dust isn't funny enough!!!!!!

Good Hooking Saturday morning!

beautiful loops

I put in my letter of resignation at my job yesterday....yeah, did it!  It's about time now to devote 100% to me and my loops...Actually, it's feeling kinda good already. 

I heard from one of my models and she's setting up a date for a photoshoot next month.

Plus heard from one of my photographers also and he's gonna send me pics of my last show plus will be doing a couple of projects with me and my models--so looking forward to all of this!!!!

Again,

WELCOME to my loops
