Absent

Helloooooooo?  Anyone there?

It's been months since I have posted anything.    I've never been a very prolific blogger but this is just getting out of hand.  I don't have any kind of good excuse for not posting, life has just been carrying on,  I am still working on the house we are renting with the idea that we will be buying it eventually.  Maybe some day I will share some photos of that.

I have been making a lot of bracelets and brooches for my shop lately, things like this:






Grey Vine Bracelet




                                          Festive Garden Brooch
Next on my to do list is more poppy embroideries.    

Honestly, with the beautiful sunny days we have been having here it's hard to get any work done.   Summer doesn't last very long up here in the NW and I want to soak up every bit of it that I can.

Hope you are your enjoying your summer....or winter if you are not in this hemisphere.

I'll be back soon.

Getting Settled

We are slowly getting settled into our new home.  It's been 2 months now since we moved in and there are still things to be organized, walls to be painted, curtains to be hung and even a couple boxes yet to unpack.

I only just started working on some things for my Etsy shop in the past week or so, hopefully I will have time to get a bunch of things listed for the holidays.

Today I listed this brooch:
Thyme on Natural Linen Brooch

 And a few days ago another Orange Poppy
Orange Ribbon Poppies in 3 inch hoop

The nice lady we are renting from knows that I do embroidery so she very kindly left me this giant drawer full of floss (and some books and thread too). How awesome is that!


Maybe today I'll start organizing it =)
