Staying Home Sick & Making New Brooches

I stayed home sick today with a really nasty cold. (Take your vitamins, kids!) I still feel as awful as I did when I woke up, but guilt is probably going to make me drag myself into work tomorrow. I hate calling in. Even if it's completely legitimate, I feel so guilty knowing that someone has to pick up extra slack because I'm not there. Blah. I spent the day in front of the heater, watching netflix and working on some new brooches for the shop.

Check 'em out:

Winter Is Coming Brooch // Cat Lady Brooch // Twin Peaks Series: Log Lady Brooch

Franklin & I started reading Game of Thrones, which my cousin recommended to us, and it's so good! She actually requested a custom brooch a little while ago that fits the same "Winter is coming" theme, so she was the direct inspiration for that first brooch. I've taken so long on the brooch she requested, though, so I'm probably just going to send it to her as a christmas present, haha. Hopefully she doesn't read this, or it won't be much of a surprise!

What I'm listening to:
Manta Ray by Pixies on Grooveshark

PS: What should I have for dinner?

  4. When I saw the first brooch I immediately thought about Game of Thrones. I'm currently reading the 4 book. The books are awesome. The 3rd book I felt kept me on my toes. I finally watched the first season on DVD and wish they'd hurry up and film the rest.

    1. Oh man, I'm so excited to read through them all! I'm still on the first book, but for how slow I usually read, I'm powering through it pretty well, I think. It's so much more intense than the stuff I usually read, haha. I let myself watch the first episode - I wished they would have taken the show a little slower and developed the characters a little more, but it's still good! :)

  5. I hope you feel better soon!! I need to start reading this Game of Thrones...you are the 1,345th person that has mentioned it. :) And I love your new brooches and I especially love the record brooch. We have an ever-growing collection of vinyl that is taking over our living room at the moment. It's on my wish list! :) xo

    1. Oh man! I hope you can get rid of yours without visiting the doctor! I hate going to the doctor, myself :/ I'm so sick of coughing, though! seems like a minor inconvenience, but it's driving me mad, haha.

      and thanks!!! :) I hope you get better soon, too!

  12. I love that first pin, and i'm completely obsessed with GoT too! I just have the last book to read and I'm all caught up, but i'm pretty sure it's thicker than the Bible. Talk about a project. And I hope you feel better- even though you felt guilty, at least you got a day off!

    1. thanks!! :) and, yeah, I have quite a way to go before I'm caught up myself. I'm usually a really slow reader, but it's so hard to put down, I can actually keep a good pace! :)
