samba bossa nova

so apparently my gocco really did arrive in 3 days... at 7:30 am on Sunday.... when we were still sleeping. oh well, hopefully i'll catch the mailperson tomorrow or else...

i also spent most of the day (AFTER doing my reading for class) sewing labels together, wrapping Amanda's birthday voodoo doll, and making 4 little crusts for the petite plum pies i'm hoping to sell around.

i feel kind of strange and truthfully a little awkward writing this since nobody's bought any of my things yet and therefore nobody knows about this site except me and you.

ohhh well.... tomorrow, as much as i'm going to want to break into that gocco thing, i really need to do productive things, like REAL LIFE productive. getting my parking figured out and dropping rent off to be exact.

THEN i'll carefully read the instructions and if i need to make photocopies, draft those, so i can copy them free of charge at work on Tuesday. i wish i had those photos of the labels to put up....

oh also big news, sort of, i signed up for a flickr account, so photos pending i suppose.

merde, il pleut

My gocco was shipped today from Japan from FeltCafe, and it's expected to get here Monday or Tuesday! Probably the most exciting thing to happen for all of next week....

Also I've completed the rough draft stage of the pattern for my croissants (I still can't decide if I want them to have little berets or not.... although they probably should). So that's going to be the first thing on my list of things to gocco. I would put an image up of the prototypes but I think they're too colorful to be appetizing or taken "seriously". I also can't wait to try to make some stationary too....

None of my 3 little Fancy Cakes have sold on Etsy yet... although they may be a little rough around the edges, and they don't have labels like I wish they did. I'll probably order some soon (if they sell I'll use that $, if they don't I may try to gocco my own).

Bon nuit! (ou bon matin?).
