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!

PS: What should I have for dinner?
Gosh your blog is cute! My baby boy was sick today too! It's the time of the year I guess...hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeletewhy thankya! oh man. it's so sad when little ones get sick! It breaks my heart. I hope he's feeling better!
Deletelove them all! the first one is my fave though :)
ReplyDeleteaww, thanks! :)
Deletehope you're feeling better - I'm just getting over a really nasty cold/cough thing, they are not pleasant! Brooches look v.cute. I'm hooked on the Game of Thrones Tv series but I'm yet to read the books - I'm sure I'd love em! x
ReplyDeleteyou would like it! and you should read it! It really is one of those books that's hard to put down.
DeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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! :)
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteoo, yes! you should read it. It's very good, and hard to put down :) also, thanks! & me too, I just picked up three records at the thrift store the other day - I like to buy current stuff, too, but I think a majority of my collection is made up of thrift store oldies ;D
DeleteI hope you feel better soon hun :( Your brooches are so adorable, I especially like the log one :)

Grr nasty colds are the WORST! I wish mine would disappear already! I might have to go to the Doctor soon... Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI love your brooches! And your blog! Get well soon! <3
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.
Deleteand thanks!!! :) I hope you get better soon, too!
Holy cow I LOVE that first one!!!!! Total Game of Thrones nerd here.

oh what? thanks, ma'am! I'm excited to answer your questions, heehee! and, yes, game of thrones! so good :)
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeletethanks!! :) 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! :)
DeleteThese are so cute!! x
ReplyDeleteaw, thank you!
