I need a new job...

I kissed the ground beneath my feet upon arrival at LAX yesterday peeps, having had up-to-the-eyeballs-enough of Lost Wages. There is only so much drinkin', carousin' and conference-in' this Lady of the Linoleum can handle. I mean c'mon, five full days spent with 200 plus bankers in 90 degree plus heat is like spending five full days with 200 plus bankers in 90 degree plus heat...No analogy needed...

I did do some serious crocheting though...despite the bazillion bankers...the endless hours...and the imbibing...I am literally detoxing as I write this. Yeah, I know, my job sounds real tough. Las Vegas, Vodka, expense account. Whatever. It's banking and therefore it's boring. Martinis (doesn't matter how many I forced down) don't change that fact.

So, I'm back. Feeling a bit disconnected from the Life Craftique, but ready to jump into the swing of things, scissors poised, hook at the ready, hanks of yarn calling me back to the fold. Speaking of which, while toiling away in the desert I received an email from an editor at a well known publishing house alerting me to the fact that my designs had been accepted for a new crochet book in the works. Wooo Hooo! Maybe, just maybe, I will eventually be able to extricate myself from the Life Banktique. Keep yer digits crossed!

In addition to my upstart career as a budding crochet designer (yeah right), I've got tons of FO's to show and much news regarding my new collaborative adventure that began after ending the doll round robin fandango. Can you all say board games? Oh yes, this should be an interesting collaboration to be sure. Look for a whole post devoted to a bunch of drunk artists attempting to make board games in round robin fashion that are actually playable (while sober).

Stay tuned! Games and knitted/crocheted bologna-inspired accessories to be had in the near future. I know, you don't often hear the words bologna, knit and crochet in the same phrase...
