Day One: This is the first time I have ever really used a chart to follow a pattern. If the pattern were written out in Japanese I would have a much easier time of it since I speak and read Japanese (luls). Eventually my brain kicked in though and I am done with the first motif square.
Something important for people to note on the chart that at the very center of the motif, the character for "wa" indicates to ch2.
Initially I attempted to Magic Ring this pattern but the look changes and the yarn I am using made the ring more difficult in the pattern than just doing a straight ch2 start.
Currently, I am wondering how it is I am going to be joining all of these motifs together. I have never done a piece made up entirely of motifs so my brain is wrapping itself around that issue at the moment.

First Etsy Shop Listing!
I am so excited, my first listing is finally up! When I first took the Census job I thought that I was going to be working a lot less than I am (I'm not complaining), but it has taken me such a long time to get my shop going!
Hurrah for having it up and a listing to show! I will upload more in a day or two to keep my listings fresh and at the top of the pages. :3
Blue Face Scrubbies (or Coaster) Gift Set
Honestly, these little scrubbie sets are a breeze to make and if I have the dedicated time I could make a lot of them in a hurry, but after the ones that I have made I will be so glad to go back to making purses, hats, scarves and little, random projects!
I worked the majority of Memorial Day Weekend in our states attempt to catch up the people in Cannon Beach to the rest of the nation. It was a lot of fun even if frustrating to go through a ton of EQ's with so many brain fart errors. I really do not see how so many people just do not understand how to fill out a questionnaire correctly. EVERYONE had at least 5 days worth of training. There is no reason to have any of these mistakes. Rabbble rabble!
Anyway, as I said, it was fun! I had lunch with my CL and FOSA both Sat & Sun at Mo's and both times we had a fantastic table right at the windows. It poured on Sunday and I was soaked for almost the entire day, BUT I got to meet 8 corgi puppies when I went to someone's house in an attempt to find a proxy that could tell me if the other houses in the area were seasonal/second homes or not. I still have a joygasm whenever I think of all those little puppies.
