Sometimes I can't sleep because my mind is buzzing with new ideas for art works. And it is hard when some people assume that one is trying to be different or distinguish themselves from the crowd when really all they are doing is being who they are. <br />I really can't believe that you were asked to remove your nose piercing and were refused the job because of something like that. You did the right thing by standing your ground. I think it looks really nice. <br />I also wanted to say that I've nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award. If you want to take part you can just pop over to my blog and answer the questions I've prepared, if not that's all fab, I won't mind :)Lucy in the Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151981955331505365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244151986320620019.post-38568311460789463332014-02-22T22:08:09.449-06:002014-02-22T22:08:09.449-06:00great work on the pattern so far! it looks like it...great work on the pattern so far! it looks like its going well.<br /><br />Good on you for standing up for yourself and refusing to comply! I had never noticed your piercing and to be honest, a gold flower piece is much nicer then a giant diamond chunk which is what i normally see. <br /><br />I'm always worried about my purplish hair or exposing my tattoos at work - esp the one on my arm because i get lots of silly questions about it. but im really good at my job so people don't tend to question my abilities based on my looks. you could have been the best damn employee they've ever had, but they'll never know cause of a tiny piece of gold on you nose!<br /><br />I totally understand what you're saying too! my head never seems to stop. im always thinking and scheming what i could be doing next and my hands always want to be busy!

But we'll figure it all out! <br /><br />Also: I just noticed that I made a huge error on the PDF there. I noted cut 1 on fold but it should be cut 2 with a center back zip. Argh!

It looks like hard work!<br /><br />I agree whole-heartedly about the problems with a strong creative urge. When working full time, I felt so frustrated and exhausted from trying to do my job well and pursue my creative endeavours in my 'free' time. Now, I have creative freedom, but I worry about money.<br /><br />On the other hand, I have a very mainstream appearance, and blend easily into the crowd. I often wish I had a distinct style the way you do! Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.com
