uggh

Uggh, I started this big long post about why I have been missing and then decided to just scrap it because its all sad, depressing stuff. Let's just leave it at this, if I hear of one more person diagnosed with or dying from cancer I don't know WHAT I will do.

Let's just move on to good news.. I am flying to WA in a couple of days to go to ArtFest! I am really excited about seeing Martha again and see Ruth and all my artsy friends and take cool classes. I am still really stressing about packing tho. The one bag rule on the airlines SUCKS. I generally pack an art bag seperatly but there is no way I can take it as a carry on and I don't wanna pay $25 for one extra bag.. c'mon people!

I am trying to figure out if there is any way I can smuggle my felting needles on the plane so I can felt on the way up but I think they'd probably get confiscated. :( boo.
This is a little bunny I made for Hannah, it was my first attempt at a 3D item and we both really like him. I had to kind of wing it in the construction but I think he turned out pretty cute. I love the big carrot.

I am super excited that I finished up the first issue of the Creative Cottage Shopper today. It will be going to print tomorrow and on sale when I return. I already know exactly which shops I am going to hit first. It is CHOCK full of great coupon offers from all kinds of cottagey shops and there are also some cute tips and tutorials inside. For more details as we have them you can keep an eye on this blog or here on mine.

I have a bunch of pix of other things to share too but they are still in my (dead) camera. I will need to charge it up to get them out. Until then.. I am off to felt some more and worry about ArtFest packing.
