home sick.

well, after trying to talk myself out of it, at about 5am this morning, i called in sick just a little after 6:30. i don't like calling out, because at our job the work doesn't just pile up and wait for you-- someone else has to turn over all of the OR rooms you aren't there to do. but, with such a sore throat, fever, body aches, sinus sloshyness, and this ridiculous cough that makes my lungs burn, i just couldn't do it. i'm in bed until i feel ready to get out of it to walk to the store for some theraflu. if that doesn't happen, i do have some tea in the kitchen... luckily i also have a stack of five or six magazines and fabric catalogs on the bureau that i got over the past couple of weeks and haven't had time to read yet!

some pillows of mine have been featured over at jennifer's blog! i'm featured alongside some other really awesome etsy pillow makers!

with me getting a shout out, i wanted to pay it forward and give a blogstyle shout out to an awesomely talented and beautiful lady whom i've had the pleasure of running into a bit around town. you should check out her music on her myspace page. i swear, no matter what mood i'm in, i could listen to her sing all day.

i desperately want this chair from ikea for my sewing area. incase you can't tell from the photo, they are clear lucite plastic. LOVE.


and i love these:


okay. time to make tea and take a nap....

update.

oyy! i haven't had very much time to post recently.... things have been so busy, and i haven't even had time to sit down and sew in over a week! i still have a few projects lined up, including a custom order for a dear friend, but the weekends are swamped. when we're not busy doing something, i am exhausted and literally veg out infront of the tv. my work weeks is so busy that i can't bring myself to do my other work in the evenings. but, my shop is all full, at least for now, so i'm not as worried as i was before. i have to remember its okay to not be busy every second of every day, and taking time to relax a bit is important!

the election was so exciting last week! pat and i went to vote together and got our "i voted" stickers, and then stayed up all night watching the coverage on tv. i was so happy with the outcome, and almost everyone i know was as well. yes we can.

i'm on the third of the fourth Twilight book, and loving the series so much. plus, the covers of the books are just gorgeous. i love a book that has a beautiful cover as well as a good story!


speaking of, i love the new penguin classics collection:

i'm going to have to look into getting some of those at some point. not that we have any room for any more books in this apartment!! our three bookcases are already overflowing....

something else i love right now, is the new Paramore song "decode" from the Twilight movie..can't wait to go see it when it comes out in a couple of weeks!

Paramore - New Music - More Music Videos

i promise to do a big home dec inspiration post ASAP. but for now, its back to the tv ;)

30 seconds to mars.

i still love this so much.

jared leto = SWOON.

30 seconds to mars.

beautiful and sad.
