Craftiness takes a back seat
Monday, November 20, 2006
Every now and and then I get possessed by my creative side of my brain and all I want to do is make things and be crafty. Spools of thread make my head spin with ideas. Fabric gives me goosebumps. An empty canvas gives me chills. I have had a long dry spell, but now it's all I want to do. I hated working today, because I wanted to paint. And I love my job. Usually. So I'll work away this week and hopefully get another rare moment of spare time to make some things that I am hoping will turn out great, so I can set up my blog shop (joking. kind of.).As far as my day went...here are some random conversations I was engaged in:
Mid-day (with my son):
Son: We were practicing for our Christmas concert today. If you come to the concert with ear plugs in, you won't hear much.
Me: Why would I wear ear plugs to your concert?
Son: Why not?
Me: Because I would want to hear what all the children are saying and singing.
Son: But if you sat in the back row, you wouldn't hear anything.
Me: Well, even if I did, I bet that all the children will be talking and singing very loudly.
Son: Well then, you'd better bring ear plugs.
Later in the day, at my parents house...
My dad: Don't let your kid step on my cat. (This is his semi-joking way of speaking).
Me: Why not? (My semi-joking response).
My dad: How would you like it if I tried to step on him? (My family is weird, ok?...)
Tonight: work meeting
Man at meeting (all-male meeting, well, except for me, that is): And now, perhaps the lovely young lady to my left might have a question to ask....
Me: Speechless.
More crafts: coming soon....
