I am SO glad I changed my Secret Promise Ring photos recently :)
(special thanks to LiciaBeads for giving me the heads-up at 2am!)

I just checked and I got over 100 views and a bunch of hearts on that ring…
oh, and a convo from someone who wants me to make a custom ring
for her to give to her fiance at their wedding! Wow…SO exciting!

…Aaaaaand I’m back! First, here’s something that I’ve been wanting to post for a while:

This is our new kitty “Sweetie” with her super-cute catnip toy made by OnaWhimm!
(she has since taken her toy to her donut /bed and sleeps with it every day! SO cute!)

We highly recommend these well-made, sturdy and kitty-tested toys to everyone…

They eventually de-iced the wings...

A little on-board entertainment...

Leather seats, music and games provided…made the 2 hour flight to LA bearable :)

Got bars?

It’s weird to have permission to be lazy — aka “vacation”…

Mmmmm…Hot Cocoa

With all this weather, I tried to recall the last time I had a really great cup of hot cocoa and eventually realized it had been much too long. Years, in fact. Little did I know that P had already decided to add cocoa powder to the grocery list and surprised me with this homemade cup of goodness:

…got about 1/2 way through before I remembered to snap a pic! hahaha!
Whatever I did to deserve this man, I sure am glad I did it… ;)

Now, this is getting ridiculous.

Okay. If anyone reading this is anywhere West of the Rockies buried in many feet of snow, please forgive the whiny-ness of this post. You see, we Seattle-ites are NOT at all prepared for *any* kind of snow-type stuff to fall from the sky for more than a day or two. (read: no snow plows, no de-icing or salting any neighborhood roads. just sanding on the most used routes) So..due to ever-lovin’ climate change, the last time I looked outside it looked like this:

the side of our house…

snowy bonsai

Augh. I have so many things to finish up for the holidays and this is just making me feel like hibernating.

Okay. I’m done whining now…

Isn’t the snow Beautiful!!??! :) **It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!**

The Eat Local EtsyRAIN Mini-trunk show..

imakecutestuff.com — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:44:07 +0000

We had a great display...

...don't you think?

A handful of EtsyRAIN artists took a chance and participated a very VERY last-minute show at Eat Local in Queen Anne. The show featured:

We had a great time getting to know each other a little better…it was just too bad the weather was so horrible that few customers made it into the store :(

Some of us sold some stuff…some of us sold none. Ah well. That’s the way the snow falls ;) You can be sure we’ll do more EtsyRAIN collaborations at Eat Local in 2009!

How am I ever going to make it up QA Hill??

imakecutestuff.com — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 09:03:52 +0000

I have so many great Tote2Go! Double Shoppers left over from Urban Craft Uprising. I figured I would, so I agreed to do a mini-trunk show at Eat Local this Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008 from 12pm to 4pm. Looking out the window, I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to try to make it up to upper Queen Anne. The road in front of my house is *really* icy (we don’t have snow plows here in Seattle!) and…well…it is called Queen Anne HILL for a reason.

Hm. Then again I think of all the people who are anywhere East of us that know how to drive in the snow without tire chains (natch) and make it to their destinations just fine.

Am I really that much of a wuss? :P

seattle snow...this is nothin' compared to the rest of the country, right?! sheesh...I am such a wuss.

That’s it. If I can get out of my driveway and onto the main road, I’m going. I may go the LONG way around, but I’m going! Read all about the event on my new Facebook page: http://moourl.com/Tote2GoTrunkShow1208

Oh…right. Due to being “snowed in” for two days, I updated my Facebook page and am now on Twitter! Friend and Follow me, won’t you?
