Prussian Blue and Teenagers- January 17, 2020
I'm working from a hotel tonight so I only brought a few colors with me on my trip. Is nine "a few"? Prussian Blue is the common color between all the hearts. I put salt on each of them and it's magical how different they look from moment to moment!
Seeing them in the morning will be a treat.
A coworker has had a terrible cough all week and my lungs feel really messy and I'm afraid I've picked up the same thing.
Hopefully I can make it through the night without coughing my lungs out. Blech - what a way to start a three-day weekend!
Oh, this guy turned 13 today. On Facebook, I posted this picture of Kiff with this caption: 12 years and 364 days ago, I wrapped up my last dd's ay of work before maternity leave. There were 2 whole days before my scheduled c-section (I take after my grandmother who had 2 c-sections in the 30's! She was diagnosed with "rigid pelvis". Yay for genetic legacies!).

At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety.

I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.)

How to Fold Wedding Hearts
This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
