Yikes has it been THAT long!

February 10th, 2009 by Nanette

I can’t believe its been 9 days since I last made a post to my blog. Yikes. A lot has been going on which has kept me from thinking about this venue.

First I came down with a bad case of the winter crud. This virus knocked me out for over two weeks. I am feeling better, but still not 100%.  Is it me or are colds getting worse as I get older?

Felted Fiber Fancy BarretteAs soon as I was feeling better, my brother came to visit. For the last week, I’ve been in entertaining mode.  No long nights in front of the screen procrastinating about work that needs to get done.

During this hiatus, I also celebrated another birthday. Nothing like wanting to spend your birthday in bed because you have laryngitis and feel miserable. Oh well, there’s always the awesome party I can have next year.

I’ve done my best to keep busy though. I made a bunch more pins and my new barrettes are ready to sell. I have enough inventory to now open my own Etsy store. I’ll keep you posted when its up and ready for sales.

During the last few weeks, I also made some fabulous finds at local thrift stores. It’s great fun, digging through other people’s discarded things to find trinket-type treasures. I discovered that we have some awesome thrift stores in the area.

I’ve also realized that I have some really good friends.  So far, this year is turning out good.  I hope you’re finding the same.

    Happy Belated Birthday–I’m glad we got to share dinner together even though you were under the weather, and art night was a blast!!!

    I’ve had the same crud for about a week now too and it’s taken every bit of my energy to do even the smallest of tasks so I can understand now what you were going through!!

    Love the barrettes, can’t wait to see your etsy shop once you have it up and running!! Good for you!!

    Sorry you were sick on your birthday! Let us know your etsy shop url so we can see what you are selling. Barrettes are always needed.
