Getting better & Fun retro stuff

So I've been sick the past few days with a horrible cough, sore throat,pounding headache, no sleep. Nightmare. Today I am finally feeling a bit better and I a truly trying to get in my blogging groove every day. I'm not there yet, but doing much better than I was.

I'm always looking for vintage advertisements, clip art and fonts (graphic design background). So here's some eye candy -


Still searching for the perfect "day" job - even while I was sick. I completely revamped my resume for the umpteenth time! This time I cut it to pieces. Shortened it to one page. I've got experience in so many different jobs I can't even remember them all. I just let them all go and focused on legal/administrative stuff for now. But truly I would love to be able to support myself through my RetroModernSusie etsy shop. I know that is going to take some time. Plus I have to make time to create while looking for my "day" job.

I LOVE retro/vintage aprons. In fact I mentioned that I am working on my first one myself in a previous post. I just found this THIS etsy shop, CreativeChics and they have some really cute aprons! And embroidered tea towels and a bunch of other really cute retro stuff! Check it out!

 

 

I did start working on a new retro ripple afghan, similar to the first one I made in the mid-seventies. I think it was called sunset star burst or something. All oranges, yellows and brown. I still have it and my kids love it. It has been through the wringer. At one time I even used it to cover the back seat of a junkie car (about twenty years ago) and boy in Phoenix, did it fade on one side. But now that's kind of the charm of it. It is still in great condition and used almost daily (except in the summer of course). I need to get a picture of it when I am feeling better.

There are so many things I want to try and I think that fear keeps me from just digging in. I have to overcome my fear and JUST DO IT! Anyone else feel that way? I  hope all of us in our Indie class can help those of us with fear just have the faith to jump in head first and TRY! Anyone else feel this way? I would love to hear from you.

I have no comments so I mostly feel like I am talking to myself. : )

Love ya,

Susie
