I hate to prove stereotypes about woman right, especially ones about being overly emotional, but what can I say I'm and egg that's so easily crack. This afternoon I had a melt down about nothing and everything. I suppose the feeling of success wouldn't be so wonderful if you didn't have to work for it, and suffer minor breakdowns along the way. I find it hard to feel like I've ever done enough in a day, and yet it is hard to be disciplined to use the time you have to the fullest. Working out of my apartment, alone for the better part of the week with my emails, and deadlines, and the pressure of the best, isn't helping my state of mind. I used to be such a confident women, though I suppose I was really a girl. When you are young and fearless its easy to feel like your on top. Its you against the world and you don't care what they think. Yet I have learned so much about the world since then and somehow it almost makes me more scared of it. I hope the that the stereotype is not true for all but unfortunately its true for me, so who knows. Maybe they are right maybe it has something to do with hormones and estrogen and the chemicals in our brain. All i know is that it honestly scares me when I cry like I did today. I can only hope that I won't always be so fragile, but maybe fragility isn't such a bad thing.

Enjoying Life
I got laid off from my job about a month ago.
It took me a little while to get my head screwed on but now i have this amazing opportunity to take a year, give or take a few months, and recognize what makes me tick. To do that will look at what I love, what really makes me belly laugh, and what makes me proud.
I find the best way to enjoy the things you love, is to surround yourself with people who love those same things. With that said i am writing a bucket list for this year and documenting what i really felt about each. If any of you out there want to join me in these adventures let me know because fun loves company.
1. Pick out my all time favorite piece of art at the museum of fine arts.
2. Eat at a true French restaurant.
3. Design/sew an outfit.
4. Sign up for an art history class (history of photography?)
5. Photograph someone i find intensely interesting.
6. Paint on the city street.
7. Decorate my bedroom.
8. Construct a Chair.
9. Make a whole Line of accessories (cuffs, purse, belt, hair piece, hat)
10. Write/Illustrate a children's book.
I'll stop here... wish me luck!

CoreyCattails Accessories
I love making/wearing these Bracelets Cuffs with vintage buttons.
My cute magnet pin cushions are a great gift for any sewer.
My custom hair bows are a great way to add some character to your outfit.
I like to wear mine in a side bun.
