While I have good intentions to post here more regularly, I often get side tracked. But as mentioned before, you are welcome to check in on me via my vlogs on YouTube. They’re mostly made for friends and family, but I do share a lot of work projects there too.

I’ve had to learn to adapt to some new changes around here, which has taken a bit more time than I thought it would. However, I am still actively sewing up new projects, working on new 6 by 6 Arts designs and as you can see from the photos above, working on new kanzashi.

The low warm light in this group of photos is no mistake or editing trickery. It is currently chilly here and we’re waiting to see if we will be getting snow or not. I’ve basically been living in this huge cozy sweater while I work the past few days. As we do every cold season, we keep it toasty warm in here with our wood burning fireplace, make warm soups and add soft warm candlelight too. I know many get bummed out during the dark time of the year, but I’m used to it. I’ve lived here 99% of my life and I look forward to the season changes and appreciate them all. Except for summer, I’m not really a heat loving gal. But I enjoy what the heat does for my garden.

So, I’m embracing the low warm lights and enjoying my big warm sweaters. Even though I feel like I look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. :)

More pictures to come of the finished kanzashi pieces pictured in this post.
