Crafting on the Job

These days, I don't take my laptop to work with me very much anymore, not so much due to lack of time to use it, but more so because I've become a little obsessed with making cards and soft cover books. I rarely get much time after work to make any so in quiet times at work, I unpack the crafting goodies and set to work.




One thing working in this fashion has taught me is how to work faster; I get more binding and crafting and drawing done for the 8 hours I'm 'on the clock' than I do any other time of the day/week. :)
It's a good thing I'm part owner of the business I work at lol.

Hoarding - First it was silks, now it's paper

I really can't help myself can I; if it's pretty and hoard-able and comes in various lovely patterns and colours, then likely I will hoard it. XD

Current obsession is paper.
I ran out of room in my little quarters so I'm having to make space by making my shelving go up.
It's working rather well ^_^ Need MOAR SPACE!!

New shelf number one: Expensive decorative papers, mountboard, vellums and relaxing bookblocks.

Shelf number two: Bulk lots of decorative papers, handmade papers, paper pads and bookbinding books. Also stamps, nik-naks and out of date calender fail.

Currently working on.

Doggy approves.

Not Dead, just working

My family and I have been working round the clock to get a new business venture under way; a cafe!
So really, I'm not actually dead (though after this weekend, I think I'm starting to feel it) just been run off my feet somewhat ^^

This is our cafe! It's called, "La Chilena Cafe", after our native country. We sell coffee, empanadas, chilenitos (otherwise known as alfajores in other south american countries, though the recipe we use is different and definitely Chilean lol), homemade cakes, biscuits and other noms as we think them up. Yay! :D

And this is my designated little area :D
I make a mean latte, if I do say so myself 0_~

I have become quite the coffee snob because of this too lol, and I've also become waaaaay too fond of coffee.
