Work.

Wow, it took me so much longer than I expected to post about work. These past two weeks feel like they just happened all at once lightening fast. I would come home everyday and just crash.

My job is demanding, but awesomely fun. Everybody is really laid back and down to earth. The first two weeks at the job were busy, I had to take a lot in and fast. I did a lot of designing and some office managing. I had tons of help from the guy who was training me for the position, but I'm on my own now and I think I can handle it all.

I got my first paycheck yesterday and it all seemed worth it. I making new friends, developing a new printing skill and designing. Sometimes I can't believe I'm getting paid for it.

I have to talk more about the guy who trained me for the position. It was actually his position as well. So, for two weeks we had two people with the same job. I was his replacement. The only downside to these past two weeks was the awkward tension between him and my boss. You could have cut the tension with a knife. They really hated each other from what I could tell. Things got real on his last day when he asked for a positive recommendation. He didn't get one. He wasn't a bad guy, just a bad fit for the position. I know a lot of people who hate their jobs, not because it's a bad job- it's not the job they were meant to have. I've worked by myself two days out of those weeks. Honestly, the job isn't hard if you have good design, time management, prioritizing and organization skills.

The most awesome part is I can put my own designs on shirts and totes whenever I like. SWEET!

New Banners!

I made three new banners. My boyfriend wanted me to use the current one. I like it because I can switch out a fabric texture or squiggly border ornaments. I got rid of Mr. Owl. He may make an appearance again later.

Which banner do you like best? Click the image to get a bigger view. If you have any cute vintage fabric textures to suggest don't hesitate! I love using fabric textures in a lot of my designs.



This is the old one. It's cute but I don't like it much anymore.



I was thinking about doing a banner design with a doily theme. For those of you who don't know what a doily is; it's basically like a lace coaster. People put them under cups, bowls, glasses, vases or just use them for decoration alone. I like them because they're cute and vintagey.

I start my new job Monday. I'm going out tonight to celebrate! I'll post next Friday to give an update on my first week of work. I'm so excited!
