| I made a friend in Italy :)))))) |
Recently I met someone in my industry who sews! (Hi Shannon!) We met at a professional organization luncheon last month and then soon after she came across my blog . We had already planned on having lunch with colleagues to talk shop before she found my blog. We met for a business lunch this week with our colleagues, but it was fun to get in some sewing talk. I'm pretty sure my college was like, 'wtf....', when he heard us talking about sewing near the end of lunch. He made a weird comment like, 'did you guys finish catching up?' I'm not sure if he thought we already knew each other or wanted to have a business meeting as an excuse to talk sewing, but whatever. Thankfully Shannon didn't mention my blog, but instead said she discovered that we both enjoy sewing. Her colleague was already privy to her crafty hobby, but I tend to keep my sewing hobby close to my vest around my colleagues. I don't know why, probably because I don't want them to find my blog in case I vent about work! Which by the way, cross your fingers, I should have some exciting news happening soon in my work world.
Here are some articles I came across this week. The last one is my fave! Enjoy.
1. I've learned very, very slowly over the years that having friends at work is important. It keeps you sane, it keeps you happy, and you can build a network in case you need help in the future.

2. How the heck can anyone make money selling shirts for so cheap???

3. Making money by posting photos on Instagram? Seems like a Dream Job....(until you read the link in No. 4 and see how much time some people spend on their job)

4. How many hours do you typically spend blogging in one week? I've often wondered how many hours I would need to commit to blogging to actually make a living off of it.

5. This is an amazing masterpiece of an article about Ina Garten. The author completely nails it as she describes Ina's rise to Food Network and cookbook author stardom while writing what everyone is thinking as we watch Barefoot Contessa episodes. The photos in the article are also fantastic.

Happy Weekend, Everyone! The weather is FINALLY cooling down over here (although I think it may get warmer on Friday...) I'm totally sick of this hot weather and can't wait for cooler temps, partially because I feel like I've worn my "summer wardrobe" to death this year. I just want to start wearing sweaters!!
