Tired but Crafty

It's been a long week and I haven't gotten anywhere near as much done this week as I would have liked! Thank the migraine monsters for that. Good news is we think we figured out what I was reacting too so hopefully I'll be going uphill from here again :)

I had all sorts of things I want to do and then post about today - but between the migraine, running errands, and doctors appointments, I've run out of time and energy! The good news is that one of those errands was to a craft store to buy the yarn for my nephew's baby blanket. I'm so excited! John and Becca are the type of family you chose, not that your born into, and I love them to pieces :) Becca is due at the beginning of May and she's having TWINS, so Mom and I are making matching baby blankets, just in different colors. I'm having so much fun with this!

Crafty ADD Update #22

I think this is probably the shortest Crafty ADD post I've done since I've started! That's ok though - last week was pretty full between my brother coming home, celebrating a late family Christmas, and just life in general. I also spent some time for myself writing, which I think I really needed! Hoping to get back to a more normal routine this week and balance out between crafty time and writing time. We'll see how it goes!

Crochet

I didn't get very much done on this - and I kinda messed up one of the sides, but Mom says it will work out anyway so I don't have to take it out. *phew* Since the toddler this is for has her birthday next month I've officially moved this from a Christmas present to a birthday present :P

Jewelry

This is my other late Christmas present that I have in the works - but that's ok - she'll love it whenever I get it done :D

Congrats to Decembers Winners!

Welcome to the new year! I'm excited to see what the New Year has in store for me, my art, my shops, and my life. I'm ALSO very excited to see what it holds in store for all of you! Now on to the announcements...

Just a reminder of how this works: I track every comment that I receive on my blog. Then, at the end of the month, the top three commentators win prizes! Whoever wins one month is not eligible the next month to win, so sometimes it's not actually the top commentator who wins that month, because I want to give everyone a chance!
Whenever I put up a collection of my latest works promoted I give people a chance to earn extra entry's towards my commentators contest. Those extra entries are in parenthesis. And now for our winners!

Now here are the fun numbers...

Top Commentator: This Month - 19 Last Month - 26
Total Commentators: This Month 37 - Last Month - 42
Total Comments: This Month - 88- Last Month - 120

I'm not surprised to see my numbers go down. I only posted 19 posts after all! This last month was both stressful because of the holiday's, and because of personal family stuff. So here's looking towards the new stuff, it can only get better from here! (I hope)

Last Day!!!

My $5 earring club was only supposed to be available through the end of December - but I'm extending it for ONE MORE DAY!!!! So go check it out - and jump on this last opportunity! It won't be coming around again for awhile.
