Feeling Sentimental...

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. I've been a little busy with some personal things--like quitting my job!!!!! God, talk about a monkey--or should I say mouse-- that's been riding my back for almost 4 years. Spiritually, it was pretty damaging, but the great forces in the universe felt that I had to go through that, or maybe it means I'm the worlds biggest procrastinators. Hmmm...I'll have to ponder that one.

Tuesday was my last day. What did I do yesterday, my first day off, you ask? Well, I watered my parched plants. I did a load of laundry. I napped. I watched really bad tv. I thought about new Lopi Totes (see previous posts), of which I have made another (but it's not finished, I'll post pics when I feel more energized by taking my daily nap.)

Being jobless has many benefits, but at the same time it can make you go insane, I'm thinkin'. I woke up this morning wondering what my purpose was. My Dangshin keeps telling me not to do a damn thing, but it's so hard. I think I'm a workaholic. Well, I'll keep you posted.

On to the true reason for this post. I have so many ugly, unresolved feelings of my last job, but I have to say, I met some pretty wonderful people. I read this card that snarkynose gave me on my last day. It was so sincere. I forget to look at the positive things sometimes (oh, forgive, I'm a taurus.) I have made some life long friends there. I will always cherish those memories.

Feeling Lopi

So the Lopi tote is a hit. Everyone loves it. I'm trying to figure out how to finish it though. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm thinking about putting a magnet clasp on it. Can't figure out how to attach it to the bag without the prongs showing through on the outside of the bag. Also, when I carry a lot of chit the bag tends to sag. Gotta think of a way to support the bottom. I read on some blog (damn, wish I could remember it) that someone used a flexible Ikea cutting board. Cut it to size and cover it. Voila! I'll have to try it and will let you all know.

On the cute boyfriend front--My Dangshin has been raving about the Lopi Tote I made (see previous blog entry.) Isn't he cute? He had the boys over last night. Yes, 12+ grown men hanging out playing cards and what not were asked to divert their attention to look upon my glorious Lopi Tote. I beamed.

I am responding to Keela who left me my very first comment. Thank you for having such confidence in my talents. I am still fairly new to all this knitting stuff. Unfortunately, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking money for the Hallowig because it was a free pattern. I sense that there is an unspoken honor system in place within the knitting community that I don't feel comfortable in breaking. Have you considered contacting Megan Reardon, the designer, directly? Maybe she'll take your money ;P But, thanks again for thinking I can whip one of those things up! I felt extremely honored.
