it takes a long time, sometimes

i thought that while stewart was out getting undercover tickets for summer slaughter that i'd sit down and blog! woot! the home doings continue, but today i only got 1/2 way through my lates rearrangement project: dining room/craft room. basically i think we live in a small place, but lucky for us there are all these little hideaway rooms. and they're all the same size as our bedroom! ha! anyway, so stewart has his own "office" where his guitars, computer, and piles of random stuff are (harmonica, lists of bands he wants to download, tshirts that should probably go in the drawer, etc). until recently the laundry room has had laundry paraphernalia in it: a drying rack, a shelf, laundry bins, plastic recycling, etc. some of it went when the tenants upstairs went and some of it i organized/got rid of today so that i could fit my craft room in there. until this my craft room was in the dining "nook".

basically, we've been eating off our laps for the last year. we don't even have a coffee table (i hate coffee tables). so, i got a dining table from freecycle and set it up. we celebrated by having overpriced takeout sushi (from the hut) for dinner (they were impossible to deal with on the phone) and i like having it all wiped and clean!

and now our laundry room is a craft pile:

what i really want to do is get a smaller sewing table and more shelving for all my stuff. i also think i can put most of the fabric into a bin (which we have) and into a different storage room. despite my enormous soul sucking destash i still have way too much stuff.

in other news, i had a job interview today. i was so stressed out for it because i hadn't been to a serious job interview since this time 2005! and it was one of those "competency" interviews that the government does so i have no idea how i did. and i don't want to get my hopes up. but i really want this job. it's strange. one of the great things is that my good friend who i rarely get to see b/c she has a weird family/partner situation would be working in the same building so we could have lunch together all the time!! yayayayaaaaa!! and it's a hop from the yarn store and the bakery. tertiary things aside the pay scale is ridiculous (!!) and the job would be a perfect way for me to dedicate my next year before we have a baby.

tomorrow, my current crochet project! yes, crochet! it's the puff stitch crochet beret with bow and i'm making it out of KnittyDirtyGirl's Boys vs Girls Handdyed yarnie, DK. so soft and the colours are so beautiful! tomorrow.
