Get the work done first

Post by Cailin:

I'm reading an interview with Maya Anjelou from the 1980's and she is answering a question "How do you fit writing into your life?"
she answers "It is important to get the work done. The work is all there is. And when it's done then you can laugh, have a pot of beans, stroke some child's head, or skip down the street."

which I've paraphrased as "get the work done first"

so I'm "adulting" as they say in current popular culture. I'm getting paperwork ready for the accountant and paying attention to where we ended up last year and where we are going this year. Funny how adulting always makes me feel so proud of myself. I really despise it.

I did indulge myself a bit and play though:

Pinafores & JonJons are at Revibe co

A new little shop has opened up in Williamsburg. It is called Revibe and they are working with local artisans to consign a wide variety of wonderful items: refurbished furniture, home decorating accessories, jewelry, handbags, rugs, art, and Whigs & Tories too! (you knew that was coming)

Little Boy Crabby JonJons

Started cutting Owl Fabric this week! So cute! Going to make some more JonJon's with the owls as it seems perfect for late summer to early fall transition. It usually stays fairly warm here until late October.

Whigs & Tories can be found on Facebook,  Instagram, and Etsy
