yippee skippy!!!!

oh happy day!!!!!!!!!! well what a week! a good week but what a week!



well ladies & gents, i have officially one week left at my current job!!!!! i have given them my notice and this bird is finally free!!well not exactly i did get another job but a much happier better one. i will be working with 2 other artists who are truly inspiring and so wonderful! i can't wait to start working for them! so as i transition to my new job things might change around here but that isn't concrete...i don't know my schedule yet but either way i am ready for this change. a while back the mister and i were going to open up our own bike shop...well that didn't go as planned...a lot of stress & soo much money and the landlord at the space we were going to lease from was pushing us to get into the space too soon and we just weren't ready..plus we aren't ready to call this town we currently live in our home....needless to say we are putting that dream on the back burner until we are fully ready...so since then i have been looking for a job and then this new place popped up and it was perfect!peace industry designs their own felt rugs and they also sell art too, which means i can sell my work there too, yay!the other great side of this new job is i can concentrate on citybirds more which makes me the happiest clam ever and i am able to ride my bike to work too because i will not be taking bart during rush hour any more, DOUBLE HOORAY!

in other news i finished up all the bags and have moved on to the hats! on hat down two more. darn ruffles on this one were really giving me a run for my money...but i conquered them! sadly these are baby hats and yes, my head is the size of an xl babies head and i am okay with that! hehe



shot out to my best friend jules blog, who i did a guest post for! jump on over there when you can, they have an awesome blog!


we have BIG plans this weekend and when i mean BIG plans i mean the mister and i will be going on a 62 MILE ride on gilbert!!! man oh man will my poor little bum  be sore! i can't wait to share the experience with you all!

have a fantastic weekend ya'll, i'm on cloud nine!!!!

    And the long bike ride sounds amazing as well. T. and I are going on a much shorter (but long to my preggers self) bike ride today too and I'm looking forward to it. Now I just need to get up from the breakfast table and get dressed. Enjoy your weekend!

  20. Woo hoo!! It's always nice to leave one job for a better, happier one! I'm so excited for you and I love your jumping excited picture. I always think the last few weeks at a job are the best, because you don't have to care anymore. You still do a great job but you no longer have to stress over anything, so awesome.

  27. Oops, I managed to miss this post last week...awesome news, really I'm very happy for you! I was wondering what happened about the bike shop plan, so I'm so glad you've found a day job you can be proud of and happy to go to every day, and if it allows you to indulge your hobbies, too? Brilliant! My job "allows" me to blog, read, and knit occasionally when it's quiet, but I think if my boss knew about it he'd rather I found something more work-related to keep me busy! Shhh, don't tell ;)
