The Hold Up

Hello... again. :)

I wanted to post once to announce the opening of the store, and a second post to vent. Well, vent may not be the right word, but explain isn't quite right either.

I would have more stock ready - including two more sets of coasters that as you might remember from a preview shot are already done - except for two big hiccups.

Hiccup the First - painting my room

I had to move my furniture all around to paint, including moving a whole bunch of personal items into bags and piles both in my closet and elsewhere around the house. No big deal, except that two coasters have gone missing - wha? you ask! That's what I said! - and the other set of four got crunched and linty. So, I'm considering taking all of those to Felt Town as swatch experiments, but we'll see once the room is all put back together.

I can hear your eyebrows going up. Back together? Alas, the painting is not complete, you see, because of...

Hiccup The Second - the flu(?)

One morning last week I woke up feeling like I'd been beaten. I knew instantly I was sick, but it wasn't until I stood up to go to the bathroom that I realized how sick. The doors to the two rooms are practically adjacent, but I didn't even make it the ten feet from the bed to the bathroom before I nearly passed out. Insert image of me laying on the bathroom floor for ten minutes... and not for the last time over the next few days. I was never actually sick, but I was so dizzy and weak that I stayed in bed for two full days, and I couldn't even crochet. So out the window went crafting, reading, writing, and painting - the only things on my otherwise wonderfully-cleared agenda. As a result, it's been the catch-up game ever since.

Nonetheless, I didn't let it stop me from opening the store. I'm hoping to add photographs and patterns within the coming weeks. Please take a look!
