view of the back of Trainer Jen and Big J.'s wedding RSVP postcard

Well, it seems that the Suck It Up June recovery program is going so well, that I don’t have time for blogging!

But seriously…even after an over-the-top, stupidly unhinged week , I’m still managing to (mostly) keep it together despite a few troubling setbacks. By staying the course and letting go of any outcome, a pile of things are getting done with a reasonable amount of sanity intact. It’s both amazing and supremely humbling to realize how much can be peacefully accomplished without the noise of pessimist head chatter getting in the way. I don’t have the time or will to ponder much these days, and I believe that’s a very good thing.

Over the weekend I finished printing the two layers for the back of Trainer Jen and Big J.’s wedding RSVP postcards. For whatever reason I’m having trouble snapping decent shots lately, but I’ll be sure to take some very good photographs of all the pieces once I’ve finished printing the full invitation set.

The screen printing process has been going a thousand times more smoothly than it ever has in the past, and for that I’m gleefully grateful. Although I’ve always loved Gocco, it’s taken a few years to problem solve the insanely delicate environmental issues that I always encountered whenever shooting a screen. (I live, work and play in a crazy-house. Crazy in more ways than one.) Gocco and I have finally come to a much better understanding and place of acceptance. Yup, we come a long way baby. No longer burdened by the tentative “is it going to work THIS time?”-type dread, it feels awesome to print my little heart out…

And on that note, it’s sooooooo nice to have something fun to focus on as my main work over the coming week after slogging away at the “must do” list. In addition to printing day and night, I’ll be doing a few admin-type things (bookkeeping, RST return, and overhauling email systems – oh my!) on the Suck It Up June list to wrap up my goals for the month. I’m taking a blogging break to squeeze it all in and at the same time enjoy a few tidbits of these glorious, fleeting summer evenings. Back on Canada Day (July 1st) to celebrate the fruits of my labour, and for more Museville fun! Stay tuned.
