I love books...for reading or writing. This one's for writing. It's also pretty fashionable with it's wrap-around tie closes.

Now 2.28

Today, I really started the process to get my driver's license. I have to take an 8-hour course on safe driving first. Used to be that only teenagers had to take it but they reworked that law. At first I was uber-miffed, didn't want to have to pay for a class that wasn't going to teach me anything I didn't already know. (perhaps a little prideful, there, aye?)

Walking up to class I wondered why I had so easily embraced this change. I want to get my license before my b-day (in April). But I'd had other goals that I've not accomplished, that I've ignored and watched the due date creep closer and closer and then disappear into history.

Realized that life is the unexpected. Unexpected change, unexpected opportunities, unexpected friends, unexpected enemies. Gotta find a way to cope...but mostly you just have to go with it.

I do hope that this isn't my 'conquer-the-world' moment for the year, though. Will try to keep this ball rollin'.

Post Picture: A sort of faux macro. It's a macro but not taken with a macro lens. It's part of an earring, a Helix earring. New ones are coming. :)

ThisNext- oktak

The first purse I had as a little girl was a frame purse with that snap/click closure. It was white patent leather...an Easter/birthday gift from one of my aunts. I adored it.

Recently I found Oktak handbags. She's on Etsy, too. Most of her handbags are framed, similarly to the one I used to have. Her fabrics are lovely and her designs very fashionable. This style is one of my favorites. I want one. It's a mini-tote with the little snap/click closure thing that I heart. The print of this one is perfect for spring...which is rumored to be around the corner.

Weekend Blurble- Whew!

This weekend was a bit of a whirlwind, and today continued the goodness, some of which can't be shared yet. (secrets!) Soon, very soon.

The Paper N Stitch exhibition opened its new selection of sellers. This month I'm in it. I hope you'll stop by and check it out. The whole exhibit is packed with very talented designers. I'm so happy to be a part of it.

Came upon a snag in the quest to become a licensed driver. But today I fixed it. It'll still cost me about $125, but it's so nice when mountains become mole hills...to turn a phrase.

I had finished up several pairs of Acutes. Today, I photographed three pair. New camera lets me get carried away with photographing items...then I have a gazillion to look through and edit. I've already taken over 8000 pics all told, and I just got the camera late December.

Applied for a job working with/for the census. I'm not exactly sure when that would start. Still, it's a step.
