A Quick Introduction

I thought I should probably introduce myself a tiny bit. My name is Milly, I'm 30, and I live in the Bronx with one dog (a little beagle who is always hungry even after she has just eaten) and one boyfriend (with his own etsy shop!). We are both big-time night owls. I have been known to cook dinner around midnight! I am lucky to make my living as a freelance camera assistant (film and tv), though I am trying to get away from all that and eventually make my living with my own business, doing what I really love (art and craft).
I say I am lucky, though sometimes working as a crew member feels like a curse. More on that some other time...(and there is lots more!) But I am lucky because being freelance means I don't work every day, and I have plenty of time to devote to my etsy shop (well, there are two of them actually). It is sort of like working part-time... but usually working just a 3-day week means 40 hours. And a 5-day week usually means 65-75 hours. So it's a bit hard to describe. But some weeks I don't work at all. So it all sort of averages out, you know?

I might write about my day job from time to time... but only when I have a really good story to share! That's it for the moment, thanks for reading!

  4. Congrats on starting a blog. I've just read all of your posts and really enjoyed them. I love the idea of you posting about fave NYC food & coffee places. New York is a loooong way from where I live, but I've always been fascinated by the city. Sure hope to visit it one day. I'm also looking forward to reading about your film crew job. Sounds interesting. Very glad I found your blog :)
