Hey everybody..
I know it's been a long time without a post.

The truth is I have been paying all of my attention to the shop.
Yikes... It is sucking the energy out of me.

Business is so so slooooow and that makes the "work" of it all so much harder.

I'm still managing to get myself up and out of bed and into the store.

I feel like my creativity has gone. I'm trying to push through.....

So if you are reading this I'm happy to know that you still check in on me.

I'm hoping to be better about the posting soon

It's been a long week

The store the store.
I'm spending so much time at the store.

The studio is partially there, but I haven't been able to get myself to get working.

I survived

A wild evening of birthday celebrations. Forgot my camera forgot my phone....
And now it's official

LII.

Thanks to all for the Bday wishes

The 136th day of the year

and my birthday

The cord chewer and me.

Will I ever write an interesting post again?

I'm not even keeping up on the tweeting.

I want a keyboard cat

For those in the mood for Karaoke

Everyone else is doing it

Thank you Mel

In my dreams last night I was searching for cake.

There were a many adventures all involving a different person.

In each segment I was with someone - searching for cake. It was a mix of people, from those I haven't seen for years to those I have just met on the internet.

We got close but never found cake.
