Not feeling that great, could be directly tired to being tired. Not really looking forward to work tomorrow (mostly the getting up at 7:30 part) but at least I'll be there for about around 7 hours instead of the normal 10.

Anyway going to do a little meme. For the next week going to submit a new image, they will all be a mix of types and some may be of completely new pieces I'm finally getting off my butt to post. If it goes well I may just keep going and see how long I can go.

Anyone interested in joining in?

Stomach is rebelling against me. Must have been the cookie dough I ate.

So delicious but probably so horrible for me. *ignores tub of cookie dough calling to me*

First need to say, decided to go on a whim to check out Joann's and pick up some materials for future projects/products. It wasn't until a couple hours before we left that I checked the site and found their entire stock of fleece was %50 off. This changed my plans of picking up fleece for just one project into getting fleece for as many projects as I have in the "time to buy materials" stage as possible.

Between stuff for myself and stuff for a hoodie for my boyfriend (extremely large project and this is comparing it to his squirtle hoodie) we ended up walking out with 15 yards of fabric for $55 to $60 bucks. Considering I was pretty thrifty before dating my own personal Jew we were both pretty pleased. It seriously was an example of why it helps to be nice and as understanding as possible to people who are helping you. The woman who cut my fabric was terrific and ended up giving us a couple extra small discounts for putting up with a couple issues beyond her control.

Anyway, this all means there's going to be a few more blankets popping up in my gallery in the next couple weeks. Really hoping to get as much done as possible tomorrow so I can see if its worth making another run up to Joann's on Saturday to pick up more.

Came and went, it was an interesting day in Oaks, PA. Closer to Valley Forge than Philadelphia really.

Met some nice dealers and got to throw stuff back and forth at our friend Alex who's now working for VideoGamesNY. All and all it was an ok event.

Next con on the agenda is NYAF. Looking to make some additional improvements on Medicine Seller and put a couple items together to be sold in the dealers room, some friends who got a table are willing to sell for me. So that should keep me pretty busy for the next 2 weeks. I'm considering doing something new for the con but still on the fence about that one. So many choices and probably not enough time.

All 4 badges are now accounted for including the ones from my last post. Still if anyone is interested the normal ticket price for Game Core is $10 at door. You can find more information at [link]

So this week will continue what seems like near nonstop preparation of things for various Artist Alleys. I've recently added another 22 button designs to the collection I've slowly amassed. There's a lot of neat stuff in the "just about finished" stage that I really need to focus on that I believe would do relatively well this weekend. Current plan is to clean the crap out of my craft nook/also known as part of the living room and then focus on getting everything else accomplished.





On a more personal note, had what could probably be considered a falling out with someone I considered not only one of my closest friends but also longest friends. Not sure what exactly brought things on but the only thing I regret in things is the manner in which my initial contact was made in matters. I've privately made my concerns clear and received absolutely no response other than a "Yea I read it." and an admittance of forgetting all about it. It probably wouldn't bother me so much to this degree if the person didn't lament on multiple occasions having the same exact thing happen with one of their friends. Its just really rough, I know they're under a lot of stress but at the same time they already read my response and didn't take the 10 minutes to type up any type of response and didn't even acknowledge reading it until asked a week later.

At first I wanted a response but now not so sure. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at the very least upset about being repeatedly forgotten. Its just completely hypocritical and shows zero appreciation for all the times I dropped everything to help them out, which I was happy to be some help with until roles reversed and this all happened. First string my right foot. *edit*Yep been proven right, not enough time to respond to a note but plenty of time to sit down and write up a 3 or 4 paragraph update. Seriously upset to the point of tears of just how little our long term friendship obviously means to the other person.

Really I'm just tired of bottling all this crap up. I'm allowing it to screw up my focus on important things and in general bawing in private over it too much.
