I am sitting here, at 2:39 a.m. on what is now Saturday March 17. I have been working on my little Etsy shop for 4 days non-stop. I do not know what took so long. All I know is that I have been engrossed in every bit of this world for days. I think we need a three tier cake to celebrate.
Sooooo, drum-roll. It is official, the shop is open. Look to the left side-bar. I have several more things to load for sale. I will not get it done tonight. Tomorrow I am delivering the huge commission pieces. After which I will stop to check on 2 dozen little plates for the March 31/April1 show.
I am so sorry I have not stopped by to visit you lovelies! You have inspired me with your wonderful words about the fence and my art endeavors! Luckily this initial set-up process is almost over. After which I will most definitely be getting back to my blogging rituals, which I miss soooo much!
A few wonderful things kept my spirits up this week. Besides the lovely weather, which has risen to a slightly painful 90 something degrees.
1) The arrival of my trade with Miss Sarah Foxling. She is a sweet and genuinely kind-hearted girl Oh, and quite the talented one! I feel so outrageously lucky to be the owner of these! You are a dear friend my foxy-girl!!!
2) The arrival of quite the unexpected treasures from Michelle. I was so excited about this wonderful surprise! Thank you so much my adorable Michelle Parrish!! Bath bombs to the left, can't wait for some secret bathtime!!! A wonderful key and heart lock necklace, jeweled of course! And some lingerie. Is there some passion around the bend that I am unaware of? What fun!!!!!
3) Ohhhhhh Miss Anastasia!! From so far away she managed to send my hearts one desire, without it melting. Violet Crumble!!! I did share, but kept the bulk for me!!! Plus she sent some vegimite snack kits, a lindt chocolate bunny, a caramello Koala which has been eaten…And the most wonderful craftiness! The perfect wall hanging for the empty space above my new Ivy plant in the loft!!!!
4) And last, but certainly not least! The project Unveiling over at Crust Station. Of which, I got the craft room! Yippee!!! Take a look!! She keeps such a fantastic blog!!! Love it!!!
As you can see. I had a week full of wonderful things to keep me happy and inspired! Thank you, Thank you!!!!! You girls made my week, maybe even the rest of the month, and longer!!!
How are you??? What are the new happenings in your life??? I guess I better get blog reading and catch up! Time goes fast as it is, but in blog-land it seems to go by even faster!!!!Can that be possible????
congrats on your official etsy opening!!!
We miss you in cyber world, in fact I have been absolutely lost without you.

It really is hard to get everything done…too bad we need sleep. Your doing a marvelous job…I find the minutes meld into hours of bliss. I have no idea where the time went.
