Busy days
Life is busy these days, fun and fullfilling.
I just finished the layout of a book and will start another on Thursday. I learned so much from the process and know that the next book will be easier. I'm really enjoying pagination and I think once I become better at the technical side of things I'll be able to spend more time on perfecting the typography. Its a great direction for my career.
I have an ad due on Thursday which will be some nice extra change. I feel really blessed right now with freelance.
Besides all the work I have several earrings I need to make for a friend since my stock is down to 3 pairs and she needs about 8. I hope I can get to that during nap time.
We had a craft night last Friday, the kind of evening where you get some work done on a project that you've been putting off. I was able to cut out and pleat 3 dresses which is not part of the process that I enjoy. It was more enjoyable with friends around and great conversation. Not to mention yummy snacks- thanks to Amy!
The center fabric is Amy Butler fabric and it's adorable and very different from what you might expect a smocked dress to look like. That color is for Julia and Lizzie's print is shades of brown and light blue, I can't wait till they are done.
I was able to attend the Tenshow on Saturday with Val. I really had a great time, there was lots of eye candy and catching up with old professors. I felt like a creative person for once instead of a mom.
I do get a chance at being creative as a mom though, each day I sculpt a Bob and a Larry out of green and red playdoh which Julia carries around and I painted Bob and Larry yesterday, thats an art degree at work for sure. LOL!
On Sunday I went to Knoxville to have brunch with my mom and she took me to see The Producers. I loved it! Everything I have seen in Knoxville, Stomp, Chicago and The Producers, has been really impressive. The one show I saw in Chattanooga, Riverdance, was a bust! I think they send the B team to Chattanooga! It was a great day!
