looong time since…

I have been away for awhile and now I’m back with a kind of energy that is hard for me to put into words.  I won’t go into a lot of details here, but I will say life happens.   Things we have no control  over and when it does you just hang in there for the long haul. Well like I said I have this renewed kind of energy and I’m ready to move forward.  I won’t cry over spilled milk or what hasn’t happened.  I will just say it’s going to take  some time  before I  can post  more regularly. I have been working on some new projects that I want to share and I will be posting the pictures as well.  For those of you that do visit this blog I want to say thanks for your interest and don’t give up on me yet.   Exhale….

Blog break….

Exhale!… I have been sooo… busy lately…doing some product development for my new shop on Etsy.  I hope to have it open in July.  I have completed several samples which have received a good response from friends and family.  I still have quite a ways to go and will be in production phase for all of June and July.  This is why I will be taking a break from blogging for a little while. It was good that my planned move has been delayed for a while.  So I have been able to focus on my new shop and production.  If time permits I will stop by for an occasional progress report.  By September blogging will resume on a regular basic.  I am planning to write about Christmas events, traditions and holiday gift ideas, etc.  You won’t want to miss this. There will be lots of projects and maybe you will be inspired to get cracking on that gift list that is .  So….I’ll be back and have a safe and healthy summer.  Exhale…….

Here is the pict…..

 

Card from Susan, originally uploaded by Rains Studio.

Exhale….I am re-posting the photo of the beautiful card Susan Lenz sent to me. This was the trade for the Cyber Fyber Show. In error, I deleted some of my photos from flickr. What can I say! I am still a newbie to blogging. When I looked back through my archives, I found a few post with missing pictures.  And that was one of them. I guess it doesn’t hurt to look back at your old post sometimes. In my archives are a few post that are blank and they will stay that way. I do apologize for this error and I now know what not to do in the future……exhale!

Studio

What a Messss!   Did I say that?

Studio

 My studio is a mess since I have decide to let things go for now.  I will start packing some of my things.  I’ll pack just the items I won’t need for awhile, I think.  That will tidy things up a bit.  I like the idea of moving to another house and I hated it too.  It gives you a fresh start with decorating and organizing.  But it is definitely work and I would much rather be creating my quilts and stuff.  I need to re-stock my Etsy shop.  I do have some definite plans in the works for some changes.  I will most likely proceed with them sometime this summer.  There will be quite a few nice surprises.  I’ll be updating here later on this spring.
