bananafishstudio: slow your roll

slow your roll

another words, I'm doing my best to try and relax. Sometimes it seems like my life is either very busy or very boring. There's nothing in the middle. In addition to packing product, putting out small fires (figuratively), meeting deadlines and the mad dash to the post office before it closes...my landlord has decided she has other plans for the condo that has been our home since we moved to Seattle almost two years ago. As a renter and as a person, I'm not particularly sentimental...I actually like to change my immediate environment quite often, but dang lady...gimme a couple months.

No such luck, we get one month, and a week or so. Now...if I was having one of those aforementioned boring spells then the hunt coupled with the prospect of decorating a new space would actually be kinda fun...but I am not in the midst of a boring spell, but rather a busy spell. VERY BUSY to be exact. did the caps convey just how overwhelmed I am?

Thanks goodness for my guy who is taking on a lot of the calling and emailing...but renting is tough in Seattle right now...and we can be picky. HELLO, can a girl get a nice bathroom, sheesh. Note to all future landlords: taking pictures of a place with someone's cruddy stuff is bad...i wanna see it empty ok...like BARE. Plus, what's up with the 2500 sq. feet and one 3x3 bathroom?

The good thing? I'm making progress...soon I will have a new place to live...all my customers will have their packages and the world will right itself...till then...I will just have to soothe myself with bread.

kimberly said...: oh no! you are the third person i know facing condo-conversion...one month is NOT enough, but i guess the craziness & stress will be over sooner than later (that's the glass half full in me)! i can't wait for your shop to reopen (no pressure though!)--i just found you via ali edwards and i will be drooling over your SOLD items in the meantime :) good luck with the move!; May 25, 2011 at 4:30 PM

I like to share. Occasionally these designs, tutorials, what have you-actually make it to the blog. it doesn’t happen often, but when it does happen I would be so very happy if you spread the love and credit me and/or the original post in the process. These projects are always for personal use only.

This is a NOT for profit blog. If I discuss a certain product you can rest assured that they are neither paying me or giving me free stuff to do so. Mostly because, as of yet, nobody has either offered to pay me or give me free stuff. If that changes, I will be certain to inform you.

Thank you so much for reading.
