So, those of you that read my blog know that I started a job at Jo-Ann Fabrics in late September. Well, this is the hardest place I have ever had to work at! OK, not because work is hard, but because we always get new stuff. I work at the cut counter, and I end up doing go-backs--fabric that needs to go back on the shelf after it has been cut for the customer. Unfortunately, that is when I see fabric I would like to get--especially new stuff. We get a truck of merchandise every Thursday, and a cart gets loaded up full of fabric ready to be put out on the shelves. I got a piece of Star Trek fabric that was calling my name... Sadly, I have taken to looking at the freight when it comes in, and always find some new treasure.
Of course, the upside to this is that I can make some great new stuff out of what I have purchased! The bad thing is that my work schedule is full for now, and but I am trying to find time to do some extra crafting---I still have a few things to make for Christmas!
Everyone, have a Merry Christmas! And a happy new year, if I don't talk to you before then!

School is almost over---it's almost crafting time!
Well, the semester is almost over--today is my last official day of classes! Then I have to come back for 2 finals next week, and have a paper due on the 20th, then I can get down to some serious crafting. I know I have missed all of the holiday season---I could have made a lot of money--but between work and school, there was little time for anything else.
Last night, I started cutting some fabric strips, with the intention of sewing them and making some strip-quilted bookmarks as a tutorial, so I will try to get that going tonight. I don't have class tomorrow (its "Dead Day" here at UNR, so there are no classes), so I might sew a little bit too.
Of course, I have been seeing plenty of stuff on Pinterest, so I have wanted to make some of those things too. Speaking of Pinterest, I pinned a few of my items from Etsy, and plan to do that with more items in the future.
