Studio Update!
I'll be listing some post-Pile leftovers in the shop Wednesday evening, hopefully by 8pm eastern time. I'll be including what I have left of the printed slip cover-ups (and that will be the last of them for this season!) Also, there will be plenty of gnome pins and magnet sets. Maybe a few more surprises, you never know with me. Also, the previously mentioned strawberries may not be disappearing so soon after all. As luck would have it, the very day that I wrote the post about my plan to retire them from my shop, I was contacted to by no less than 2 big-fancy magazines to send samples for possible inclusion in their holiday gift guides. Exciting, strange and, well.....sort of crazy, really. Go figure. So, the berries are back for good! On etsy and on homegrown market, another up-and coming on line marketplace that is responsible for shoving my little berries into the public spotlight. Strange things are afoot over here in A. Bel-land.
So, shop update coming up, then it's time for a work-break. More recipe posting (I've neglected the recipe box) , pictures of Syd the jungle cat (he's getting HUGE!), housekeeping (it never ends) and some good summer-fun with my Max (who is also getting huge these days. Who said he could grow up so fast?! He can practically read now....well, he can read key words like "Arby's" as in "can we get cheese sticks from A-R-B-Y-S pleeeaaase???"
It's just not summer-time without a greasy Arby's fried cheese stick (and don't forget the slurpee.)





Things are happenin' for you lady! That's awesome and you deserve it!!
