The last few months have been crazy. New job with lots of new responsibilities, and a giant learning curve. I keep dreaming of a life where my creative outlets make my living for me....but December and January were a blur of data sheets, signature pages, and tears. My shoulders get tense just thinking about it. Not even Christmas break felt relaxing, mostly because all I thought about was assessment and how I wasn't getting anything done....
I turned in my portfolio assessments on 2/9, and then I told my Philip, my very understanding (thank God!) husband that I felt like I was coming back to life. Work is still very stressful, but I am determined to learn how to do what the school system is paying me to do while I am on their watch and do what I want to do when I am on mine.
I have been decorating a lot of cakes lately. In a few minutes I am going to start on a safari cake for a a baby shower for my friend Tanya, our SLP at work. I am looking forward to using a new technique to make the animals. I have also made several button rings and a "bling" ring, which is a very cute technique where you make beaded dangles and attach them to a ring with special loops. Very swishy and adorable. I can't resist wearing all of my new things before I post them on my Etsy page.
Well, off to make lions, tigers, zebras, and giraffes.
