lately...

I think I've been living the past couple of weeks in fast forward. It seems like just yesterday I was watching the fireworks explode in sparkly grandeur over the Great Miami River. Was that really almost a week and a half ago? In addition to celebrating America's 235th birthday, I've organized and executed the Swap Meet at the Century, joined a super rad Crossfit gym, participated in an intensive training program at work (which is cutting into my evenings), had a pretty serious medical scare (boo), and have started following a gluten free diet (more on this sucky development later).

I have hardly had time to read any blogs, let alone write in my own. You can't see me, but I have a serious sadface on right now. As a half-assed substitution for blog posts of any substance, I bring you my Instagram posts from the past couple of weeks! In case you're interested in sharing, my user name is "Yellowberry".

When I'm in meetings I have to doodle. It focuses me, and keeps me from suffering from projector-induced meeting narcolepsy. So in my training, I've been doing a lot of doodling. Like so:

We had a garage sale, which turned out to be more hot and sticky than it was worth. Can you believe no one bought this poster for $3.00?

Waiting in an Emergency Room gets very boring. Veeeeeerrrry boring. Good thing I had my iPhone on me!

I had a particularly challenging training session today, and the hubbs knew it. This is the super sweet note he left me at the bottom of one of my work sheets. Nothing like a sweet Star Wars reference to get you ramped up for learning how to be a fearless (corporate) Jedi!

Back to School time is pretty exciting time of year to the notebook designer. Weird, right? Here's a couple of patterns I worked on that hit the shelves this past week.

That's my crazy life as of late. I've missed you. Been up to anything awesome?
