a little quiet, and an acorn garland

Another quick apology for not getting back to posting regularly this week. I think it’s been a many-factor situation, which includes getting back from a great trip and not having time to tell you about it, catching up with lots of life and school-related stuff piled up from said trip, going on another mini-trip, plus having too much I want to tell you and not finding the time or images to show and tell you. Add to that a bit of internet malaise I’ve noticed floating around – vast overwhelm about the super amazing amount of wonderful stuff out there to tell you about and look at and enjoy, and you’ve got yourself a very quiet little blog. Oh well. I know you’ve already forgiven me, so why are we still talking about it?

I’ve also been doing some crafting. I know, right? crazy. I learned to knit from my wonderful Aunt Pat while away in Arizona, so I’ve been enjoying that non-moneymaking craft, too. It’s nice to use my hands and mind in such a completely different way than I’m used to. I really like it. Haven’t made anything of note, but that was exactly how I approached it, without much intention of “producing” anything. At least not yet.

I made a fun little garland from the felted acorns — how ’bout that? It’s for a special order, and I really like it. Not sure if it’s done, maybe need to add another little bit to make sure those acorns stay put for many moons. I also lowered the price of my calendar and the holiday card sets in my Etsy shop, just so’s you know.

I think I have time for one or two more custom holiday card orders, so contact me asap at maylaurie@gmail.com if you’re interested in cooking something up with me. Options include computer printed or silkscreened, and on your choice of colors and size cards.
