Progress
I’ve been whittling away at that book pile. This week has felt like a jumble of books and boxes. I’m not used to all of this business at one time! But there’s good news. The book pile is… …nearly gone! I just have to weigh this last batch, print the postage, and plop them down on the [...]

Sometimes when I announce a sale over at Polka Dot Creations, the response can be sorta lukewarm. It gets discouraging. That’s why, when I decided to run a sale this past weekend, I figured I needed to make the discount something to write home about. 75% did the trick. Holy cow, is this a lot [...]

I’ve got a few announcements today, both of which take advantage of some fun technology. First up, two FREE Android apps! I’ve mentioned the Polka Dot Cottage app here before, but I thought I would bring it up again, because I have since made it available on the Android Market. That makes it much easier [...]

It’s looking like the new GREEN issue of From Polymer to Art will be dropping on my doorstep today or tomorrow. There has been such an overwhelmingly good response to this issue (thank you!), that I am close to selling out already, and the magazines haven’t even gotten here yet! I’ll be ordering more this [...]

How would you like to help me improve Polka Dot Creations? I want to make it easier for people to find the books, magazines, and DVDs that would most appeal to them. Right now, there are several ways to browse: by media (book, magazine, dvd, etc.) by what’s new or coming soon by what’s on [...]

I feel a little unwell at the moment, and am shutting down my computer for the night. Why do you need to know this? Maybe you don’t. But maybe you are waiting for me to process your Polka Dot Creations order. Or maybe you’ve emailed me a question that I have not yet responded to. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! I usually spend Black Friday hanging around in my pj’s with the rest of the family, maybe geeking out on the computer, maybe reading a book, maybe knitting something, probably enjoying a little leftover apple pie… I rarely give much thought to shopping. Even as a store-owner myself! Well that all is changing [...]

Quite literally. I spent Monday feeling worse and worse, Monday night being sick, Tuesday being feverish, nauseous, and headachey, and today I seem to be left mostly with the headache and a little dizziness. I’m not ready for “real food” quite yet, so until then it’s Saltines for breakfast. Oh! There is so much to [...]

It’s a beautiful Sunday. I nearly succumbed to the temptation to have my breakfast out on the patio, but I decided it’s still a tiny bit too cold for that. Instead I sat in my favorite living room chair, as always, and I opened the window next to it. Best of both worlds, I think. [...]
