my first treasury!

Ooooooh so exciting!! Lessthanthreedesigns included me in her sewing themed front-page treasury...which I never would have known about if Jess hadn't texted me in the middle of the night with the news! I was so groggy that I didn't get up & go look at it right then, but I woke up with a vague recollection of it, & thought I had dreamt it until I looked at my phone. And then, of course, I rushed to the computer to see for myself. There my little thimble necklace was, in all of its cuteness. It's up to 416 views now, a record for me!

Good thing I caught it then, cause there's a new treasury on the front page now. But I'm just super-excited to have been included, grateful for the extra exposure it gave my shop, & super-super-thankful that my bud Jess saw it for me!! Thanks, Jess! xo.

What a great way to start the day....

developments.

hmmm.
so obviously i haven't been updating this very regularly. not that anyone reads it or notices, but if someone someday is actually interested & looks at the archives, they might notice a significant gap between the last post & this one.
just sayin.

so what have i been doing in all this time i haven't been posting to my dear old blog?
well, work (the day job, that is) has been pretty hectic, so quite frankly i've been going home at night lacking the energy or motivation to do much of anything besides eat & sleep & cuddle with my hubby.

not have the energy to create?! perish the thought! yet here i find myself. in more ways than one.... but! i have not been entirely unproductive.... (although Lord knows i really oughta be crafting like a madwoman, what with stitch rock on the horizon--october's closer than you'd think!)

but in the past few weeks i have been pondering some new ideas, & i think they are just about ready to bring to life. i've gotten my hands on some new (to me) materials that i'm excited about, & i'm planning to spend a good part of this weekend making stuff. i also have a couple of custom orders to start working on, so that's pretty exciting too.

AND...drumroll...i've been working on a website! yep, my very own website. try not to be too underimpressed, cause right now all you'll see is my "under construction/redirection" page. but someday (soon?) it will be a glorious specimen of pixel compositions! er... ok, not really. i'm quite amateur at this sort of thing...but i hope at least to have a couple of different pages with some photos & such. who knows, maybe one day even this very blog will be hosted there.... (oh, & eventually those disgusting ads at the top of the page will NOT be there.)

anyway, that's my big exciting news for the day. i'm stoked.
i hope all's well with you, whoever you are.
