Shorty

I haven't been busy, really.  More like...easily distracted? Consistently preoccupied? Unusually productive? Okay, really, I'm spending a great deal of time watching Doctor Who, eating popcorn, and using R's chest as a pillow. He makes a splendid pillow. 

I have been doing loads of projects.  Mostly wedding-y in nature, or plodding out in the yard. Also known as the mostly bare dirt patch surrounded by mostly dead lawn and a growing army of unnervingly long-rooted dandelions. 

I hate renting. 

Anyway, our poor desolate backyard is slowly coming back to life,with great success! Once I locate the camera, I can actually share photos of the small garden successes, and loads of half-completed projects I have been spending too much time on. 

The majority of May was spent squeezing in as much time as possible with my man before he shipped out. Since then, my time has been divided between putting together ridiculous care packages, pouting, visiting with some AMAZING friends that flew out here for a week for some Texas sized shenanigans, and making things.

More specifically, making jewelry. It's been a process getting all the right materials in line to finish the pieces I had originally started, then in drafting up designs and making lists for all the other ideas that come floating into my head. Inspiration's a pain in the ass. It's everywhere, and in sketching out one idea, a dozen others come to mind. It's exhausting. Seriously. Also, there's a lot of pouting going on over here (not me, the dogs) so there's that to deal with. No, really, the dogs pout. It's not me, I swear.

See? Major league pouting. It's hard to get anything when a ball of fluff this large takes your spot on the couch and gives you 'sad face' for the rest of the night. 

It's amazing I get anything done, really. There's entirely too much cute runnin' around here. 

As for the jewelry-I managed to pull myself away from the fuzzballs just long enough to get all artsy with my camera, take some photos, and launch an etsy shop. Wooohoo! Round of applause, please? 

Thank you, thank you.
