I'm not gonna "be around" as much - blog wise. I'm simplifying my blogging, which means I won't get back on most comments, won't comment "all over" the place, won't do much swapping, will do shorter posts, have closed my etsy shop for the time being, probably will leave Flickr etc.
Happy Spring Everybody ;o)
Easter is done. My daughter is done nursing. Here she is, totally unaware of what is going to happen!
My son and I had 2 sleepovers at my Mom's place and when we went to my husband's Moms house, he and our daughter came too. The weening has been ok - not to frustrating or crazy - so now we're trying out new routines. Without Mommy's titty ;o)
The *Easter Bunny* came for a visit (isn't it a HUGE rabbit we have?), as did my wonderful friend Laila - checking out my new book, that I got from Lisa. (Check out what I send her!) Oh I just LOVE that book.
Recently I have received so many goodies and I have more to come!
I just got these from Shannon and I can't stop looking at them! They're just so well made, but more importantly - they're sooo cool and HILARIOUS! She also send me fabric and paper swatches, a CD and TWO magazines! (Check out the fabric on the chair, on the front page of the right magazine: Australian Spot.) And I send her 2 cards :o( Hm! Leya send me a beautiful owl (who lives in my yarn basket!) and zipper pouch. Annu send me 2 beautifully wrapped mugs: Moomintroll on ice and Snorkmaiden. They absolutely blew me away. The colors and the MUG - all very wonderful and well suited for coffee drinking! I am now collecting Moomin cups and with our Mag/Mug swap every month......oh hooh hooh!!!
I've gotten *tons* of fabric swatches - thank you: Manda, Lisa, Shannon, Rosa. Take a look how they match.
How cute are these? I saw them last year, when I was rummaging around for Halloween inspiration, at Plum Party. They have some awesome stuff - really! As does Kitsch Kitchen, where I found the baskets. Be sure to snoop around! Similar baskets will be found, among other super cool stuff, at o.k. Versand.
I just thought of how bummed out I am, for not getting me one of these...
....from Jek in the Box. I was even reminded by Tracy LAST MONTH, so I could have it over here in time for Easter. Oh well. We don't go nuts for Easter anyway, but they sure are nice!
On the subject of printed/embroidered fabric figurines, check these out....
....Matryoshka dolls by RunAmok on etsy and Pillow Dolls by Ashley at Char Bea Lane - LOVE'EM! Ashley also does amazing illustrations.
*Update - just letting you in on all the good stuff!*
Ashley has a very cute blog - Kitty Genius - and A LOT OF GREAT STUFF in her Flickr pages.
Run Amok's Oona also has a blog: runamok
I wanna do something like these pillowy dolls. I just HAVE to. When I have time.
This week will be the week, where my daughter stops nursing. She WILL be 2 next month and I need my rest. Haven't had a good nights sleep in 2 years, dammit! So my son and I are staying 2 days with my Mom and 2 days with my husband's Mom. Aaaahhh....maybe some knitting will be in place? Reading a good book? A little paper cut, for a secret project perhaps? Hmmmm.....yeah....nice ;o) But absolutely no blogging - so until some time next week: Have a great time everybody!!
Ooooohh...I've already gotten my mail from Lisa! (Got here fast, huh?)
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
Check this out:
Everything was sooo wonderfully wrapped and even the outside of the package was like a Lisa collage ;o)
I got THE book - and I so so love it! I also got these cute elephants (that my son has already stolen), soap, squirrel/mushroom washcloth - ain't it cute? and FABRIC swatches:
I never had any Amy Butler fabric before....now I do....lucky me....
She also included 2 photos and some Cram Cream tape - sorry about the blur - had to show it! I love it!
