Over the holidays I got a wonderful surprise: our new little puppy girl, Miette!  She's a three month old (as of yesterday) Border Terrier and is so sweet, funny, and loving.  I am totally smitten.  She was by far the best Christmas gift I received this year, courtesy of my husband.  Hope your holidays were amazing! 

 

Can you believe Christmas is next week!?  Neither can I.  Still getting the last of my shopping done to prepare for an insane weekend of wrapping gifts, baking dozens of cookies, and having a holiday drink or two.  I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!   

 

Sometimes I lose perspective and forget that while I'm busy worrying about a million things, or stuck in a rut, or complaining, or wasting time not doing what I want to be doing, life is still moving forward. I need less worrying, whining, wishing, wanting, and waiting in my life and a lot more doing.

Wow.  The days are just flying by!  It's October! Already!  Deep breath.  I know that the holiday season is around the corner and I also know that I need to get a lot of inventory done in advance so that I can somehow juggle packaging and listing orders, making custom items, working on the never ending list of projects for school, and maybe spend some time with my poor neglected family in between all of that.  Oh, and do laundry.  I need a vacation and the next one won't be until the end of November.  On a happier + less stressful note, I've listed some new stuff in the shop (see the photos above!) and I'll be listing even more in the shop this week and next week so check back often.  And get those holiday orders in early.  Pretty please.

Hope it's warm (and stress free) where you are.

 

Wow September has been kicking my butt.  It's been one project after another lately. I wanted to drop in though and let you guys know that I'll be selling my wares at Strange Folk 2012!  It is a great show with so many talented folks so if you live close (or even kinda sorta close) you should come out and say hello!  

Hope the weather is as lovely where you are as it is here.

Oh how I love fall..

This adorable collar is going on my fall wishlist.  Buy your own here.

One of my very favorites by Belle & Sebastian.  Their EPs have always had some of my most favorite songs.  This particular EP is always on repeat come fall and this song is one of the best.

"In the autumn cool say cheerio to school," indeed.
