I have been working hard for the past few days, trying to crank out the goods to update the shop, and add new things to the website.
I have had several emails asking about my pillows, and I guess the only way to be fair about them is to put them online, and have a first come first serve type of thing.
SO on Monday, I will be putting the pillows online for sale, you can check them out there if you are interested.
I can't guarantee anything, it will just be, whoever gets there first gets a pillow.
Hope that's o.k., I don't know a better way to do it.
SO here is a little sneak peek at what I have been up to!
they are totally handmade, which in translation means= they are NOT PERFERCT.
This one curves slightly, but I think the graphic of the swiss cross makes it o.k.
I LOVE the swiss cross! there is something so cool about it, that I want to buy everything that sports that icon.
right down to my yogurt! :)
In fact, my love of the swiss cross got me into a book this summer. I have no idea how I got in there, but
there you go, I AM! whoo-hoo!
thankfully you can't see any flaws in the book!
(on a side note, speaking of BOOKS,
I found this one tucked in Ian's table by the side of his bed,
a book that I bought for him a few years back.
do you think it has anything to do with his magic tranformation lately?
i'm so subtle aren't I? hee hee hee,
ANYWAYS!..........
SO moving on pointing out my weaknesses, aren't I such a fabulous salesperson! I really sell my work don't I? ha ha ha, but hey, you appreciate my honesty right?
so,this one is covered in french knots, that I LOVE, but as you can see they aren't all created equal.
probably didn;t have enough coffee in my system at the time.
this ones a little crooked in the middle, but it's because of a flaw in the old BLANKET.
so it's technically not my fault hee hee!
little lumpy......but hey, so am I! :)
SO that's about what i've been doing in a nutshell!, working on making stuff, rearranging the shop, sending out passive-aggressive vibes to the man, thinking "GREEN"
and surrounding myself with little green things
aren't they just precIOUS!
We also have been getting in some CUUTE things!
all polka-dotty of course, because EVERYthing is better with polkadots right!?
plus we have some really sweet Valentiney goods coming in...
these just came in yesterday, and they are SUper cute!
More valentine goods will be coming in soon.
I am also hoping to add more of those dotty goodies to the website soon too......
but it just takes T.I.M.E!
doesn't everything feel like it takes forever?
maybe because it's so cold, I feel like i am stuck in mollasses. in fact I feel a nap coming on.
curling up in a warm bed when it's 3 degrees outside sounds so nice doesn't it? :)
do you think my people will notice if I just sneak off?
hmmmmm.
amyways, yesterday, I spent the whole day at the shop tranferring information from my old computer to the SECOND new one we had to buy. UGH.
ignore those piles in the background, because clearly I need to be cleaning and organizing instead!
our sweet little 10 year old mac died.
when we took it into the apple store, they all coooed over it saying how cute it was, they called it "vintage"
can you believe that.
well, that cute little thing no longer worked, it wouldn't turn on anymore, SO I had to use a firewire cable and tranfer information over to the new one.
I was worried that I would lose all of my photos of my kids, and the 2,000+ songs I had on there, but through some miracle, I was able to transfer all of that information over BY MYSELF!
sometimes I amaze myself at how truly geeky I really am.
So I am hoping that now that we have these newer faster computers, I will become more efficient.
Cross your fingers.
SO on that note, I am off to get horizontal before anyone notices me,
so if you are interested, come back on Monday Afternoon (noon) and snatch up a pillow if you are so inclined!
have a great day, and stay cozy!
xooxoxoxo
Ummm loving those pillows! can't wait until monday... i'll be checking back for sure :) have a great week-end & i know it's cold there too! Brrr...
Lanny.

Thanks for punching-up my day with all the polka dots! Great color is just what I needed on this overly-snowy day! Take care!
p.s. you'd love the colors of the decor items I saw on my recent trip to Brasil! It is very YOU! And they have the best shop names like 'Farm' and 'Samba 1' and great logos! I'll have to send you some pictures!
