Ok, ok, I swear I’m back this time

29 Jan

I’ll start off by saying this:

Sorry I’m not sorry.

Life gets busy and in the way, especially when your life is [mostly] retail-centered. This was my second holiday season working at the spice shop, and I still love it. Mall/clothing retail is for the fucking birds, and I will never, ever, ever do that again. Ever.

Working for a small local business has some serious benefits. Especially during Christmas. Too many to name, so I’ll just say family. I got to spend a lot of time with them, doing super Christmasy things, eating an insane amount of food, and just hanging out.

The only thing that I missed this holiday season was sewing. Because we are a small business, we have a small staff, meaning I spent more time there, and less time at home, which meant less time near my sweet baby Eve. (My sewing machine).

Things are slow now, so I’ve finally dusted her off, (literally. I gave her a super duper deep clean), organized my fabrics in a new cube storage unit, and got myself a few new essentials to up my sewing game this year.

Figured I’d update to get the blogging ball re-rolling, more on things later. I’ve signed up and have been enjoying my first Craftsy class!

This post just turned into a bunch of words, and no pictures, so here’s some puppies that I get to hang out with every day.
