Life

Normally about this time I'd be packing and repacking, making sure I have everything ready and not missing anything for my trip down to Baltimore on Thursday. Instead, I'm making sure I have everything ready for work tomorrow and glancing longingly at my closet and the wonderful fabrics stored within. Yup, another reminder that this weekend, I won't be going to Otakon, and while not hating, extremely jealous of all the other people online I know that are going. Speaking of Otakon, with everything I've been hearing about facebook, I'll be uploading some of my favorite pictures from past years onto my flickr, so more people enjoy it, and so they're saved somewhere else. Still really disapointed that I wasted money on registering back in feburary, thinking I'd get a job sooner than I did. Still have off this weekend, but hotel has been cancelled and all people I was going with have dispersed. So not doing anything now except trying to figure out what size to make glittery letters on parchment paper to label my glass jars.
Trying to find the link I got inspired from, but having a hard time finding it. (edit-friend helped find it, link here) It was a bridesmaid weight loss type thing, with glass vases that has letter stickers on them like pounds to lose and pounds lost. Mine are going to be a bit more quest-y, being used for anything I really want to happen.
So that's what's happening right now, regret, frustration and a bit of boredom thrown in since I still have way too much time on my hands and can't keep coming up with new craft ideas. I have way too many already, and not enough time to do them all.

Life news

News has been a little slow around here lately, not much is going on in my life besides looking for a new job. Went to a stamp expo and spent a bit more money than I should have, but every cent was worth it. I got some amazing stamps and peripherals for my crafting, also I found out some little old ladies can be scary about their love of stamps.
Speaking of crafting, the time I've spent not looking for a new job has been working on birthday and Mother's Day gifts, and items for an Etsy shop. I'm getting really excited, but didn't want to tell many people at first because of the time frame, paperwork and other things. One thing I can say for certain though, is that all the pictures I've been posting on other forums, and gifts for people I've been making are not going to be sold in my store. Those are things I've seen people selling on Esty that I've made myself since I had the supplies and too poor to buy it, so I make it myself. It also means more to the recipient than just buying someone else's craft don't you think?
On to things I have been watching. I'm loving the start of the new series the Legend of Korra, I recommend it to everyone, even if they haven't seen the original series. Glee is getting interesting in trying to wrap up so many story lines before several of the kids graduate, and adding in new story lines for the younger kids to go through with the oncoming season. Still sad I wasn't able to see the live action Ouran High School Host Club movie when it came out, anxiously waiting for dvd news so I can import it. My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic is excellent as always.
So upcoming news for the future is the store, my imminent trip to Zenkaikon, and later this summer I'll be at Otakon. Reviews and opinions also coming soon on Black Butler, Game of Thrones season 2, and of course the Avengers movie. If anyone reading this is into comics, don't forget Free Comic Book Day on May 5th this year, I'll be at my favorite store.
