Summer Daze

Summer is in full effect. Today is a scorcher with a predicted high of 90 degrees! Holy hell! The heat has forced me to wear the flip flops today, which i’m not a huge fan of. My feet aren’t super duper busted, but I still don’t like to look at them if I can help it. With the onset of summer comes the onset of the not-wanting-to-do-anything-but-lounge-and-be-outside-whenever possible mindset, and not-in-front-of-the-computer-if-I-can-help-it mode. I’m not going to outright say this is the reason for not posting in so long, but I may allude to that.

Anyway, Etsy stuff is selling. A little slower than I had expected, but a few items have gone since we last updated. The nested bowls were sold to a very lovely lady in Texas. She said they were very special to her and she was so happy when she received them. As for our own stuff, Andrew made another duffel. After much cursing and sweating, I made a little lined zipper pouch.

One Mandor is done, but i’m not really happy with him. His arms came out too skinny and he looks generally, rough! I sewed most of that one on the machine, but it’s really hard to control when you’re working with such small pieces. I don’t know why I was avoiding hand sewing like the plague, but the one i’m workin on now has been mostly hand sewn. Now i’m also realizing that I probably should be using different material. Back to square one, dang.

Andrew started making these bracelet thingies too. I’ll post pictures when I get a chance.

Fondly,
Crystal
