and view my lovely handmade bags. the site needs a bit of tweaking still...but it's a start!
see....i have been productive!
and i'm back!
back in the swing of things. making bags. posting blogs. building a website. thinking outside of sock world. finally being productive and feeling good!
however, while watching DVR'd episodes of Mad Men and fighting off a cold, i'm a bit distracted. but i just wanted to write a little something, despite the fact that anyone who followed my crazy little thoughts so many months ago when i had more to say, most likely doesn't even check this poor little blog anymore. ah, well...bygones!
yes, i will try once more to be interesting and witty, and maybe a little inspiring. and force my friends and family to read it all again!
in other news, i'll be going to New York this weekend. sock world is sending me up there for a children's clothing and accessories trade show. but i get to fly in a day early to see one of my besties, do a bit of shopping, and hopefully squeeze a MoMA visit in there somewhere! i haven't been to NYC in so long...like 7 or 8 years. wow. i cannot believe it's been almost a decade. shudder...can't believe i can say "its been a decade" about anything! i'm interested to see what it feels like now. i'll either never want to come back...or i'll be pacing around like a crackhead, so eager to get on the way home. will keep you posted!

so...tired.
ohhh...so tired and trying to find the energy to sew and blog and make a website and be creative and make a company! Ack! Sweatdrops! Chocolate!
i am desperate to get some things done...but my brain is so fried after making socks all day! oh, socks....
at least i have a real life to come home to. even though it may just be writing about all the things i want to do, instead of actually doing the things.
oh well...c'est la vie, i suppose. gotta barrel through the exhaustion, laziness, negativity, etc.
in other news...cupcakes are absolutely haunting me! it's like they are everywhere! and i'm trying (once again) to be healthy and make a "lifestyle" change about my eating and working out habits. but i really want a daggum cupcake!
oy...negative nelly here today.

how sad....
can it really be so long since i've posted anything? terrible. i've thought about it so many times and i avoid it because i feel it doesn't make sense to try after so much time has lapsed...and i've been doubting that i have enough interesting thoughts to put out there for the world to see. is it embarassing that i thought i would be interesting and witty and intellectual enough to do this whole blog thing? oh, i suppose that's just my inner "Censor" talking. maybe it's partially true...but who cares? if i'm boring, so be it. i'm reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron...and it's giving me a lot to think about. it's a sort of workbook for artists (or creatives of any kind) to make their art a priority and gain confidence in it. i definitely need to continue reading.
in other aspects of life...still living in sock land for the 8-5, but tyring to get Gypsy Bird up and running again! a friend and i went to a craft show a few weeks ago that another friend was in, and we got really inspired. if all these people can do art and crafts and have the confidence and knowledge to make money at it...why not me? so...i'm entering a show this month, and hopefully i get in! i just need to: make more product, take great photos, build a website, get a tax ID #, get my etsy site up, figure out how to run a business...and i'm set! quite a daunting list. the lazy side of me wants to curl up in bed and read more vampire books (i'm obsessed...it's scary). but the artist side of me wants to challenge myself and do it! the doing is the only problem. but hey...i'm writing on my blog...that's an easy first step!
well, such are the ramblings of my crazy mind at the moment. maybe i can have some interesting stories or news to share soon.
