Well, I’m starting to get my mojo back. Last week I baked cupcakes, picked up some un-finished knitting, and got back to planning some meals again. It’s about time. But I don’t know if I can promise more frequent postings just yet. Today is day four of no napping for Ruby (and me – grrrrr). [...]

Meet Your Maker Craft Show
Meet Your Maker had our craft show at a new location on Friday. We were at the Pizza Research Institute (PRI) which has the most delicious pizza I’ve eaten in a long time. It was really hot, but still a fun night. I packed up some samples of my new spicy bath fizzies to give [...]

in the news…
One of the green cleaners I sell in my shop, the all-purpose, was featured in an email from Etsy last week, which was very exciting for me. I found out it has also been featured on the Dolman Geiman blog along with some other great items. What an honor!

link love
A lovely spring image I found. Makes me want to travel to Europe. We’ve been enjoying some gorgeous weather here, promising that spring is coming, but the forecast calls for snow (!) this weekend. Sigh.
Just a quick post to share some finds on the internet:

Spring craft
It has been unseasonably sunny here recently which has got me thinking about spring. Little shoots that will someday become flowers are appearing, the highs are in the 50s and out of the 40s, and I am beginning to hate all of my sweaters. I came across this cute bunny garland on Martha’s site to [...]
