Changes around here

Just in case you didn't notice, I made some big changes to the blog last night. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but just got around to it. The Banner at the top is courtesy of some of the fun toys over at Flickr. These are some of my favorite of this year's Christmas photos I've taken so far.

Blair and I started the day with breakfast together for the third day in a row. I like it, he likes it, the dogs like it...I see a new morning routine in the making. The boys and I have nothing to do today until 3:30, so I think we'll have a very relaxing day (with a little cleaning thrown in).

Even with yesterday's Shop updates I still have some work left to do on a couple of items. Maybe something will sell for once. We shall see.

I almost posted this without a picture!

Self-Portrait Tuesday and other musings

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I've borrowed the idea from one of the blogs I read daily to do a "self-portrait Tuesday." These are pictures of me, either old or new, that provide some insight into my world. Today's self-portrait is of me in my pj's (yes, still, at 8:20 on a Tuesday morning). I love these pj pants. They're so warm, so soft, so cozy. I slip into these as soon as possible most evenings and just enjoy being home in them.

In unrelated thoughts, I have been feeling rather crafty of late. A feeling which has been hampered, sadly, by the lack of a sewing machine. So many ideas and designs floating around my already too-cramped brain. I'm afraid I'll lose them forever to forgetfulness. I have so many lovely plans for my dear little Etsy shop. My little shop with its many admirers and compliments and no purchases. I don't quite know how to handle this seemingly failed brain-child of mine. It's hard for someone who has a do-it-yourself-and-get-it-done-right type personality to put out a project whose success is completely independent of said person's actions. The success of my little store is in the hands of others (and in my mind, a dangerous place to be, indeed!). I don't do well with failure (very few people do, I imagine). All I can do is wait patiently on that one person whose fancy is struck by my imagination...

Etsy Updates

I made several updates this evening at the store. I have one big update left to do, but that will probably come later this week. Go have a look!

The past few days

Have all been exhausting!! Between the travel and being sick I have had very little energy. I did, however spend much time over the past couple of days getting ready for an Etsy update. I have made several books, and I have alot of stationary items to post. I've taken the pictures, I just need to crop and adjust them.

I made my first felted scarf from roving today. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I wasn't sure about the colors at first, but after the felting they really melted together really well!
(Ask me why I didn't retake this picture...I can't tell you!)

The long picture I took of this was VERY blurry, and quite frankly, I'm too lazy to take another one, so please feel free to use your imagination!

Many Much Updates

I added several items to my Etsy page today. I've had several people look at them but no purchases just yet. I guess those will come later!

My Etsy Shop

I opened it last night!! It doesn't have too much on it yet, but I'm hoping to change that this weekend. The link is in my link list on the side of my blog. The name of my store is Willow Bird Creations, and all ya'll should go visit it!!
