---Shop News--- Buzz Buzz Busy!

 Finally feels like winter around here!  A nice bit of snow and colder temps has gotten me into high gear when it comes to working on Etsy.  I am photographing and listing like crazy, a bit of making is mixed in as well.  I have created something like a schedule for my Self to keep things flowing and somewhat sane.  I usually put in three 10 to 12 hour days working on Etsy now that the gardening is REALLY done.  On those days I do not cook or clean.  Three days I do a mix of Our life work and fun chilling with the DH Once a week I try to get into town for a swim and a visit with some gal pals and do whatever errands need doing.  Everyday Runa & I get out for a walk.  This is probably the most essential aspect to keeping me grounded.

I know we haven't had Thanksgiving yet...but...if one is a maker of things the Holidays need to come early or one will miss the boat, so to speak.  My own house is still decorated for Thanksgiving and Fall and the mood is excitement around seeing our son when he comes home.  Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday...Halloween is #1!  Anyways, I ramble and make excuses for what you are about to see...Christmas!

Rambles with Rumi

I started this blog....then I became super busy.  It didn't help that it was superb weather all week.  Things have settled a bit.  So thought I would get a post in on this rainy afternoon before Sandy hits and we possibly lose power.  One of the things that kept me away from the computer was a nice special order that is now on its way to a shop in San Diego!!!!

It was an order for 3 dozen of my Love Notes that I sell on Etsy.  Well it ended up being 5 dozen.  This is because I have 30 quotes to a page...the order needed 36...I could have printed another page...but started looking at Rumi quotes...so made another page of 30...so needed to weave 2 dozen more for my shop....one of the quotes is..."Let us Fall in love again and scatter gold dust all over the world" Rumi...so this quote inspired me to spin up some new yarn with gold lame' plied into it....my creative process is like a run on sentence at times.  If you want to see more of my quote obsession check out this link....Rumi for the are holidays coming soon!

But this is not enough of an excuse for neglecting this blog.  The weather was amazing this week.  It was that Indian Summer that makes you wish you hadn't put the hammock away for the winter.  The air had just a hint of chill and with a scent of spice.  I just had to take time to wander in the woods.  Here are some images from the week......                          

"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do" Rumi

"What you seek is seeking you"  Rumi

"In your light I learn how to Love.  In your Beauty, how to make Poems"  Rumi
