Avenue Handmade

Thought my readers (all three of you) might get a kick out of this blast from the past. Dig how I’m wearing a jumper with nothing under it?! That’s right, half of my torso was exposed. What can I say–I was a saucy kid. My hair is not this blond anymore.

I’m happy to report that I’m making progress on my resolutions for easing the overwhelmedness. Successes: declined an offer to participate in (yet another) local craft market this coming Saturday, and I could not be more excited about having a real weekend (fingers crossed that I get some jewelry supplies in the mail by then). Lunch breaks taken this week: two (one at the library). And today I’m teaching a coworker how to crochet on our lunch break. I’ve also spent at least a few minutes reading every day this week. All small steps, but they’re making a difference. Oh, and I’m getting an actual haircut at an actual salon next week! (I got a coupon.) I haven’t had my hair cut by anyone other than myself in about 6 years, but I’ve been in quite a hair funk lately, so it seems like a good time to call in reinforcements. Stay tuned to this space next Thursday for pictures of either my new fabulous ‘do or my new fabulous paper bag. Anything could happen.
