June Goals Follow-Up (How'd I Do?)


1. Finish sprucing up the current designs in my Etsy shop.
Um... I made a lot of NEW designs. Guess I need to work on spring cleaning a little more. It's just so much more interesting to make new things than to fix old things. ;P

2. Add 5 new blog template designs to my shop.
Yup! Definitely did this and more.

3. Bid on 5 "real" design jobs.
Let's see... I bid on 3 jobs. Didn't get any of them. But at least I put myself through the process of inducing nervousness into the pit of my stomach. This'll get easier, right?

4. Actually get out of the house for a walk at least 3 times a week.
Three times a week? Did I say that? I think I made it out three times total. Maybe. I need to work on that.

5. Remember to shower at least every other day.
Yup, did pretty good on this one. I even did some laundry too so I had clean clothes to wear. ;)

6. Knit 3 new items for my knitting shop.
I got one hat made. Does that count? Also I started crocheting something that shall remain nameless because I might be giving it to someone who is pregnant and reads this blog and may or may not be related to me.

7. Photograph said items & actually get them into my shop, ready to sell.
Yup, got the ONE item photographed and into my shop. It was tough, but someone's gotta do it.

8. Get my design portfolio online.
Oh yeah. Forgot about this one. Anyone have any suggestions how to do this?

9. Finish one of the many books that I'm currently reading.
Finish one? Uh-oh. I think I started about three more... Hmm... Guess I went backwards on this one. ;P

10. Earn at least $200 from my various shops / design jobs.
Hmmm... well... I made $13. That's a start right? That's almost $200.

DIY Art Journal

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i

Meet a Designer: Stephanie Kubo

I stumbled across a completely fascinating artist today, Stephanie Kubo . Her portfolio doesn't state if she's a working designer, illustrator, etc, but her work is exquisite so I think she fits the bill for including in my Meet a Designer series. Enjoy! (Linking up with Kristen Victoria ).
