I'm Back!

I'm back!

I'd like to apologize to my reader (if I have one) for not updating in a while. I was far too busy last week, and heres why:

Last Monday my former employer called me and asked me to substitute for the rest of the week. Having only been out of that place for a week I still had some very hurt pride, but I still agreed to work, because.... well, it is stupid to turn down money when you aren't making any.

So I went in and hated it even more than I did before I left. Having a week of freedom totally changed my perspective on things. On Thursday they offered me a 25 hour/week part time job, at which time I was very happy with myself for not laughing in their faces.

Now I'm back home where I belong and the outlook appears bright. Thanks to my blog post about my sensory books, I received a facebook message from an old high school friend (Somebody is reading!). She commissioned me to make a book for her son's first birthday!

I was so excited I was telling all of my friends, and you know what? I got another commission from a friend that wants one for her nephew!

So after I did a very silly victory dance I got to work. A bunch of my friends urged me not to give up on selling my books on etsy, and now that I know there is demand I am determined to make it work.

I started looking for a way to comply with the labeling laws... then late last night I had one of those fabulous eureka moments.
I can make these now!

DuhBe is an incredible blog that I happened to come across that details how to make labels at home. Now I can make just enough tags for the amount of fabric I bought and not worry about the fabric content changing and being stuck with a hundred tags I can't use.

Needless to say I shall be off to the fabric store this afternoon!
