Yellow Schmellow

Such a busy busy work day today!  As part of my 3-week-old “improve all of the neglected areas of my life” initiative, I’ve designated Wednesday as the day that I take care of all kinds of miscellaneous business tasks – essentially everything that isn’t packing & shipping.  Today it took hours longer than I expected.  […]

They call me Mellow Yellow

More Yellow Week.  Did you know there’s a flickr group for this, too?  I didn’t think I cared much for yellow until I started seeing some of the striking photos people are taking.

But then, I’m weird that way. I had them out so […]

Seeking balance

I’ve got a tendency to obsess.  That’s Neil‘s word, not mine, and while I don’t like the negative connotations of it, I’m at a loss to find another term that fits.  So obsession it is, I guess.  Polymer clay, sewing, knitting, website design…   I love making beautiful things, and I know that sometimes I am […]
