This is pretty much how I feel after the last two days:


sleepy river otter


Except not as cute.


Looking forward to some much needed crafty times with the ladies tomorrow night.



{ how are you unwinding this week? }







I mean, who doesn't these days?


Click the photo for more!



But until that glorious day I can get away,
I'll just have to make due with some bright and happy Etsy finds.




{ where would you go to get away? }






Winter has found the Pacific Northwest.


snowy pines


And eeeverybody's losing their minds.



But I can't blame anyone.




When I woke up to this on Wednesday,


early morning snow


I knew I wasn't going anywhere.




So we just kicked back and enjoyed the beautiful view from our window.


snowy yard





But now that things look more like this

I'm pretty much over the novelty.




{ can we just get back to the rain already? }





Sometimes I feel like Etsy is just exploding with cool things.

Click for moar.


Here are some of them.


{ what's blowing your mind right now? }




Has it really been nearly 3 months since my last post?

Worst.  Blogger.   EVER.



I wish I could say I had some great reason for this unplanned hiatus.


But I don't. 


Too much stress, not enough happy.  Which makes for great whining, but not so fascinating blog posts.


But I have missed this blog.

And I am tired of being too tired to do things.  And stuff.  (Mostly things.)


So, I'm done with that.  Onward and upward.  And blogword.
(whaat? punned!)



{ so fill me in -- what have i missed ??? }
