happy and excited

Ok, I'm so glad I called my customer to get her custom item to her! She was so excited, she introduced me to one of her coworkers that likes to sew. She then asked me if I had a business card on me (the one thing I forgot!). She proceeded to ask if I could dye a velvet jacket. I responded with what my limitations were as far as fibers that I can dye, and I told her that I can get some fabric, and she could have her coworker sew it for her. I'm just imagining what this design would look like, and I must say, it's an awesome idea... although it could get expensive.

Another awesome idea I have is for yardage. It involves screenprinting and dyeing. I just might submit that for a quilt symposium coming up. My stepmom sent me some money congratulating me for starting up the fiber art biz, so I might use the funds to order some fabric. Of course, I can get any old fabric around here for a decent price, but I want to get some mercerized cotton, which is hard to find.

So, in other news, the day job is getting exciting again. I am getting a new AOR (area of responsibility) this week. I hated doing payoffs because I hate calling banks' automated systems. This one sounds like more fun, less work, etc. And the cool part about it is that I might still get to attend Asset Review meetings. Asset Review is fun for me because I get to show off in front of all the big dogs. I have a knack for public speaking, and I really like to show off the fact that I know what I'm doing. It's also cool, because there was an issue where our deposit didn't match what the bank said, so maybe, just maybe, I can get an idiot armored car dude in some hot water. We're waiting to see if it happens again. The guy is kind of creepy.

Today, I'm going to fantasize about being a big dog at work... as well as being a big dog in the art world. Sooner or later, one or both will happen! I just worry that eventually I'll have to prioritize and drop something. When I was a kid, my mom always told me that I can do anything I want to, but eventually I realized I really can do anything, but I can't do everything.
