A washcloth a day keeps the stress away.

Isn't that how the saying goes? 

I have been away from this space for a good long while, my apologies.  Things have been a little stressful around the Ms. Ellaneous household over the last couple of months, changes in G's job, but things are settling out now.  I'm ready to be back in this space,  if my loyal readers will have me.

So, let's catch up.  I have been knitting washcloths and running.  Knitting washcloths, not too surprising, but running?  Yes, a confirmed non-runner has laced up the shoes and am in week seven of the couch 2 5k running program.  I promise not to turn this into a running blog but there may be little mentions here and there amongst the crafting. 

I have also been making soap, lots of soap, and as of today have applied for the spring TWIST craft fair.  I have never done anything like it before but in the spirit of trying new things that are outside of my very comfortable zone (my studio), I decided to give it a try.  I won't know until late March whether I'm in or not.  Fingers are crossed. 

Recently, I was commissioned by a wonderfully supportive friend, Not that W, to make take-aways for a baby shower with a heart theme.

These soaps are aptly named "I hold your heart in mine".  It took me a bit to get the color right so the extras are doubling as Valentine's gifts.  We also made Valentine cookies yesterday, with raspberry sugar, yum.

Thanks for checking back!

Thanks for taking the time to read. I'm trying to post more regularly and working on spiffing it up a bit!
