The pumpkin I carved for Hallowe’en 2009.
I used wood working tools and based it off the illustration below it from veer.com

Anajan Skirt
This skirt was made from a pattern using heavy black fabric with dark purple accents. A moss green heavy silk flows
from the pleats. I altered the pattern to make it high waisted.
New project, new learning opportunity.
A great way to keep yourself learning is to try to find a new technique to add to each new project. Even if it’s something small, it’s still a new skill to add to your toolbox!
Back to the grind, but this time, it’s more structured.
The past month and a half I’ve been working contract full time, and it’s time to get back to my freelance life at home.
While I was working full time, I read a great article about how to structure your week to make sure you don’t put off the “less than fun” tasks that come along with owning your own business.
Marketing Mondays & 6 Other Days of Fun has really helped me to break down my week.
Marketing Monday, Billing Tuesday, Website/Blog Wednesday, Networking Thursday and Learning Friday is now in full swing, and I love it. I tweaked Lauren Roberts’ article to suit my needs and I’ve never been more organized and on top of things.
I spend the first half hour of my day reading emails and whatever RSS has come through Google Reader, and then I’m ready to tackle that day’s “theme” for an hour or two in the morning, and move onto client work.
Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed, or disorganized!
