a first.

Well I suppose if I'm writing on my blog on Halloween, I should be putting something Halloweenish up. But alas, I've got nothing to offer (that I've got pictures of anyway). I did sew some of those paper garlands with gold and black patterned papers and they turned out pretty darn cute. And I also made a little witch skirt (black polka dots with fuschia pom pom trim) for Ava that is alright. The problem is I need to have my pictures developed so I have more room on my card--I think I've deleted everything that can possibly be deleted now! (I have not developed pictures for over a year, and that is the pathetic truth. . . despite my repeated goals of doing it ONCE A MONTH.) Goals, shmoals.

So, instead of halloween projects, today I am documenting my first-ever design job. Now I don't know if I can really count it, because technically I'm not getting paid--my hairstylist and I are trading services. But she charges a lot (because she is awesome) so I feel like it is a good trade and more importantly that it's giving me more experience for if and when I start pursuing this. I thought maybe I wouldn't enjoy it so much if I was doing other people's houses--not just my own--but those fears have been laid to rest. I feel sort of giddy when I start working on it and that can only be a good sign.

I think if you click on the pictures they'll go bigger. Let me check. . . Yep, they do.
