A HUGE Thank YOU!

I have been such a bad friend!

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago when I got a surprise birthday package in the mail,

but the picture were not very good at all

and then time went by,

you know how is goes...

Anyways, I was sooooo excited to receive one of Danielle from Dinosaur Toes' orb necklaces!!!

Not only had I been dying for one and trying to save up for one,

(*note, they are very reasonably priced!

I just have no extra cash as a self employed artist in the depths of winter...)

but she sent the exact one that I had my eye on!

Isn't it beauuuuuutiful!!!

So THANK YOU, Danielle!!!

I wear it everyday.

Acutally, pretty much the only jewelry I wear

(and I don't wear much)

Is from Danielle.

So make sure to check out her website,

you won't be disappointed,

I promise!

P.S. Stay tuned for a giveaway in celebration of 50 followers!!!

oh YEAH!

Did I mention that I LOVE Danielle from Dinosaur Toes?

Not only is she freaking awesome,

but her artwork is so wonderful!

She has such a great jewelry style!

I was so excited to order these for myself for Christmas,

and she was so sweet to send me ring (like this one) as well!!!

Love. Love. Love.

I get so many compliments, it is crazy!

Now I am in love with her orb necklaces!!!

Want.

(Seriously, Danielle, these are the COOLEST!)

So you should go and check out her shop!

(and her etsy shop)

Well, I am off to take my Mom and Nana out for lunch for their birthdays.

(my mom is today, nana tomorrow... and Andy is Friday! CRAZY!!!)

Hope they like their gifts!

Some Details of Today

Today I worked a little on orders and helped Andy load and transport the wood that he harvested from the woods (which really means he did most of the work!).

But the best thing about today was the fact that I finally got to "meet" Danielle and Flojo from Dinosaur Toes!!!

(Poesy was in nap mode, so she only made a brief appearance to meet them!)

I was so excited and a little nervous when we actually set a time to have an ichat date.

I get nervous on phones and had never used ichat before.

But it was fun and easy and really cool seeing as I live up here in New England and Danielle lives in Virginia!

You know how before you meet someone that you know a little bit about you create a persona in your head?

Well, she was just as nice as I had imagined!

By the time we "hung up" I realized that we had been talking for almost 2 hours and probably could have gone on much longer if my stomach would have behaved itself!

Flojo even danced a little and was chattering and cuddling with her while we were talking,

She is so cute!!!

Anyway, I can't wait to have another ichat date!

Now I am just relaxing on the futon in front of the woodstove trying not to get too sucked into the internet (HA!) and thinking about what projects need to be worked on.

Oh, and I heard that we may get snow this weekend!!!

Wouldn't that be grand!?!

Have you had snow where you live yet?

isn't this a funny and cute photo of Veda?

I just found it from this spring when we went with some friends to Halibut point over in Rockport!

Here are a few more:

Not quite sure what I was doing in this last photo, maybe I was soaking up the sun before it set (?)

I HAVE POWER!!!

Today I am trying to get ready for the holiday fair I am in that is tomorrow and saturday!

I was going to try to work on some things last night, but we lost power due to the high winds!

It was so warm yesterday, and windy, it was crazy!

I was really sad that we lost power, though, because Poesy and I were supposed to have an ichat with Danielle and the lovely Flojo from Dinosaur Toes...

I was so excited because it was going to our first "meeting" (and my first time using ichat).

Since I live in Mass and Danielle lives in Virginia, it is the next best thing to actually meeting in person!

But alas, it was not meant to be last night!

So, hopefully soon!!!

So now, before I dive into the realm of work and fiber and felt, I wanted to share the few little owls that I just posted in my shop.

These little cuties are so fun and soft!

They make great gifts and I have added a bit of thread from my collection of vintage threads so they can be hung as ornaments!!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
