Last year I had announced that I was going on a spending hiatus so that I could use up a lot of the stuff I had sitting around the studio.

I have sooo much fabric and felt that really should be used, again.
Side Note: To be completely honest though, I still didnt use up a lot of what I had in the closet last year. It would take a while to make a dent in it, but it was nice on the pocketbook.
I digress...
I like the challenge of being creative with what I have (which is rather easy, honestly, considering how much stuff I have to work with). I know right now that there are a few things I need, but it can wait. I dont WANT to, but I can.
It would be good for me to wait til I absolutely positively need it. Sales on Etsy are slow right now and instead of being Debbie Downer about it I am building up stock for the fall sales and December Craft Show.
I have unfinished Bears Ornaments, Gingerbread Men Ornaments, Clutch Purses, Stockings, Pocket Monsters and most all of them are already cut out so its really just time spent to complete them. I just need to DO it. Someone have a pill for motivation? Or an extra three or four hours in the day?
Yep, easily distracted, I am. So back to the original issue at hand. Do you all think I can go a month without spending anything for Red Marionette? I shall set my goal at one month (and a few days for good measure) July 1st. JULY 1st I can visit the craft store again.
Now hold me to that, okay?
The second half of this post is regarding Mr. Red Marionette.
I took him to the airport today to go visit his family in Wisconsin for 10 days. I have lost my wingman! This is the longest we have been apart since the beginning of our relationship. I feel kind blah about it. I havent been feeling tip top for the last week so him leaving kinda adds to the blah-zee-blah.
BUT...I shall stay motivated as I will be able to work on some Red Marionette stuff this week at work. That makes me happy.
p.s. Now that Lappy works at work, I shall try to keep up more on my postings!
