cough
hi ~ i was in denial all day yesterday but this morning, it proved impossible to ignore: cough cough, i’m sick, or in other words: “slow down!” lots of orange juice today and i should be ok by tomorrow-ish though. …oof, that’s a jinx if there ever was one.

For weeks, I’ve been dreaming of painting a simple tree on the wall of Little Man’s playroom, but wasn’t confident that I could pull it off. But after seeing your link, I’m convinced. Give me a couple weeks to get settled and I’ll be painting the walls too! Hooray!
And, if you’re interested in wall stickers/decals/etc that actually look good, I have some links. Let me know if I should send them along.

So excited for the knitalong… yay stranding it up!
Sorry you are sick, though. Yucko.

Oh, take it easy and try to get as much sleep as you can. I’ve found that’s really the best way to get well. PS: Yay for the KAL!

Feel Better!!! Sending you a hug and some virtual vegetable noodle soup. :)
{ Hiding eyes: No I don’t see another colourwork knit along, nope don’t see it }

Hope you’re feeling better! Tea with lots of lemon and honey, okay?
Okay, I want that cottage. It’s just way too cute.

Hope you feel better soon, girl. Take it easy.
Maybe we could hit one of the craft shows together? just an idea! :) Rania, the Etsy girl, does amazing print work – and she is super sweet.
Take care, and have a good weekend.

I am so close to joining your Stranded knit-along. I loved the bag you made last year (or earlier this year..)! I want one for myself!
