I'm scattered like these buttons between a bevy of projects. It
looks like they will all be wrapped up around the same time. I'm
finishing up several new patterns, an assortment of kits, a contract
for a new product line (!!!), and so on. (More on these soon.)

Next
week I'll be at Creative Escape getting raspy from eight-hour days in
front of a large crowd of crafters. I'm hoping my loud, floral apron
will distract everyone from the dark circles under my eyes. That, and
under-eye concealer. Anyone have a favorite brand of concealer to
recommend? I'm planning ahead.
I still need to do my annual
birthday giveaway. I've decided to wait till I release some of the new
goodies I've been developing. That way the prize will be fresh &
exciting. Ya, just you wait. I haven't forgotten.
Also, I've
posted a handful of blackbird necklace charms for purchase. Since my
Laura No Peeky post, a ton of you have asked where to get one. I did
my research. It turns out it's a discontinued design, so I decided to
get what was left & just post them. They're $3.50 each. And I
only have 20 of them. When they're gone, they're gone.
Off to a
ridiculous, private bead sale this evening with my sister. I'll be
shopping for doll eyeballs. Very exciting. I'm sure I'll be tempted by more glamorous things though.
Update: The blackbird pendants are all spoken for. I do have a similar pendant I'll post soon. It's floral. I'll take a photo & let you know when they're up.
