Well hello!

5/4/2015

This morning at 6:30am, I was woken by the sound of my youngest crying. I went into her room and asked what was wrong.

"It's MONDAY!"

I feel ya, kid. I feel ya.

I graduate from grad school on May 9. I will be a Master of Library and Information Science. The following week, I start a new job. I am thrilled to be done with homework and thrilled to be working in my chosen field. And I am thrilled to have time once again to MAKE STUFF.

For the past few days, I have been cooking and crafting like a fiend. I have missed baking! I have missed leisurely cooking! I have missed creating things with my hands.

I have been doing all kinds of real-life things (see that tab up top that says Bologna2015 ? Take a gander there); including finishing an internship at a great library, being a Girl Scout leader, working, and planning out the summer. And I love to be busy and work with people and make things happen.

But the making of tangible objects recharges me in a way none of that other stuff can.

I miss drawing!

I miss making jewelry!

But all of that will start again shortly, as will regular blog upkeep.

Grad school has ended! (all hail grad school!)

Until later, lovelies!
