Done!!!

If I didn't know better, I would think the boys were playing in my yarn. But since they are rarely in the studio, it must have been me. What a horrific,tangled yet colorful mess. I was always reaching for what was down in the bottom. I finally bought some shallow, clear bins and re-organized almost all. Almost? Well, I found 2 more bags downstairs after I thought I was done so they have to be added. Anyway, I've listed some small balls of cotton yarn (free US shipping!) on etsy. My leftovers could be someone's treasures! I do buy way too much yarn. Kinda like potato chips...I can't stop!
So now that I'm cleaned up for the new year, maybe it would be appropriate to resolve NOT to buy as much? Nah.....!


My stuff is someone else's treasure...sold the whole lot! Woo Hoo!

Retail World

Okay, the Christmas shopping season is virtually over and now we must gear up for the next selling push which I guess is Valentine's Day. Got a note from the store that I'm in to try and get them things by January 6....that's only 10 days away....better get to the studio!!!

Holiday Health

I'm better!!!!! Yay!!!! We have crazy weather here now. We were unusually cold for about 2 weeks and now we're in the 60s and 70s so I hope that doesn't affect my rehab! We are doing our holiday bash tonite since my son and family will be going to Iowa to be with my daughter-in-law's folks. Now THEY are having weather issues...brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful holiday wherever you are and whatever the weather.
HUGS!

The Creeping Crud Continues

I don't want to complain. I want to be cheerful and smiley and energetic and productive.............but I'm still sick and I'm ready to scream so hold your ears.......~<&&*X%^$@*)!!!!
Actually, I've been semi productive and have these new goodies to share:



And these:

Cyber Monday Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday to me and free shipping! So you really should shop and I'll give you the gift of no shipping charges!

Slammed!

Thanksgiving was wonderful and I seemed to put the drips and aches at bay so I could enjoy until Thursday night....slammed! Stayed in bed all day Friday except to periodically check on my sites (NOTHING!!!). And onto today...I feel like someone punched me full force in the face...sinus. And of course, we have concert tickets for tonite that were purchased eons ago. No refunds! So I'm planning on staying in bed with loads of self medication until it's time for a shower (which was really yesterday) and we'll go. I can barely hear anyway, but I can't unload the tickets. Everyone still has company and others can't get a sitter so my sorry behind will go. Not that any time is good to feel rotten but why,oh why on the holiday weekend? Ahhhhhh, choo!

Shout Out!

Pam Warden of babeta on etsy is a very talented, whimsical and all around wonderful lady. I have purchased her work twice now and I'm sure there'll be more in the future. My kitchen, accidentally, developed a coffee theme. The DH and I love a good cup and we kept stumbling upon wonderful dishes, prints and even clocks (yes, I do buy some!) that were all about coffee. Many had dots as part of the designs and I'm always a sucker for anything with a heart. It was a delight to find Pam's print declaring "Java Joy" and I was thrilled upon receiving it but how to frame and hang became a drawn out ordeal until BINGO! I am pleased with the results and I know you'll be pleased with Pam's work.
