April Week 2 Accomplishments

In my mind I love to pick apart my week and list my accomplishments. No matter how big or small recalling all of the things I've checked off my lists during a week just feels good!

  • Discovery of Florence + The Machine Pandora Station... Amazing to cook, clean and craft along to!
  • Planning and carrying out Spring update for the store. Simultaneously run was the weekly markdowns, in prep for a Spring Sale. My co-worker Erin must think I'm crazy watching the way I run my floor sets, but it was a blessing to have her there to take care of the sale merchandise.
  • Listing 2 new skirts on Etsy! (1 less than my 3 per week goal, but I'll take it! Also, there is a skirt needing a zipper that may be completed before the week's end - not all hope is lost!)


  • Being commissioned by my fabulous friend Kristin to create a headpiece for her 2013 nuptials!
  • Woke up at 6 for two days in a row to take Miss Beans for her daily walk before I had to go into the store super early.
  • Maintained new hair cut for a whole week! Bangs - something I haven't had since I was a little girl - are not an easy thing.
  • I'm chugging through the first Hunger Games book. My deadline is the 17th for Book Club.


  • Stuck to my Monday part of a hopeful Monday and Friday cleaning schedule. Hopefully I'm hustling away currently accomplishing the Friday.... :D
  • Had my first actual 2 bag shopping trip! I walk about 8 blocks to the store and usually have to stop and rest every block due to an overzealous adventure in grocery shopping.
  • Creation of fabulous Beer Bread Tutorial that will be coming up on Monday!

  • Having dinner prepared in time for Hunky's arrival home on Thursday night - I'm now just mastering the art of timing a meal... Now if I could just master cooking for 2. Seriously, if you saw how much food I prepare you'd think we were hosting a football team!
  • I processed a bunch of new fabric as an ongoing project throughout the week. Super excited to dig into this on my next day off!
What did you accomplish this week?

If you saw my apartment right now...

If you saw my apartment right now you would probably think I was a complete mess.

There are about 700 projects going on right now...
Dishes piled high in the kitchen,
Magazines in stacks,
Bizarre tubes of material that must be made into a dress by Wednesday,


Mending piled up waiting to be fixed,
Piles of things to be sold on eBay and make their way to Good Will,
Samples ready for the ASID Student Competition that starts Monday at 8 am,

Papers all around me as I am starting my job hunt and practicing formatting cover letters,
All of this and I am sitting her blogging and watching Julie & Julia.


Life is too short - don't forget to take a break every now and then
- or you'll go crazy!
