I kept thinking to myself... the blog! I must post!
Really just the same'ol, same'ol here. Still busy researching and collecting things for the terry book... the terry I've scored (bliss!) and the pics people have sent me to be included in the book are so fab! The publisher has given me extra time (stupid me for thinking I can move to the States, start a new life and get a book written in 6 months!) So, I have a little more breathing room thankfully. But... it is coming together and I'm starting to plan where each little bit - whether it be a photo, a vintage ad or some research - goes.
I've sewn a few things. Another bag sold in the New York boutique which was just as exciting as the first sale and a few things have sold via Facebook... gotta love that! I'm amazed to find that 90% of my sales are to Australia. Go figure!
I've been fiddling around with felt the past few days and have made some coin purses - mostly for giveaways but I like the look of them.
The only other thing to tell you is... USCIS LOST MY PAPERWORK!! I've been waiting since December when P and I were married for news about my residency. My visa expired in February so I'm stuck... I can't go anywhere because they need to keep 'track' of me. P and I received a letter mid June requesting all of our details again including our original paperwork. Huh? P telephoned USCIS and found that between Wyoming (who knows why we had to send it there originally) and California (apparently, the 'big' office), the paperwork got mislaid. A few choice words between us were said I can tell you!! So now, we are waiting for them to get back to us as to the next step. Hopefully, the paperwork will be found. The paperchase we've already gone through is mind boggling!
In the past 5 weeks we've only been to a thrift store twice. Both times we scored these lamps which are keepers...
I haven't read any blogs in the past 5 weeks... what's everyone else up to?
My oh my! Sounds like a bit of a nightmare! I am so glad my husband has retired from the Navy... no more moving and dealing with the US government moving me!
ReplyDeleteLove the new coin purses!
The lamps rock! I have a couple of 50's retro lamps I scored to use when I re-do my sewing room, someday! LOL
Just dropping by to say, "hi!"
