Finally!

And I mean FINALLY!  I've mailed out the Cottage Bracelets to Clark at Art-o-Mat in North Carolina.  Now the rest is up to the universe.  I've fretted and revised and reconsidered and talked things over with Clark and obviously, have taken my time, getting them out the door.  Took Gallegher, who supported me throughout the process, has said she'll be putting some in her machine in Ferndale.  I'm so happy she is willing to do this and thank her so much for her support.  I am hoping that where ever the Cottage Bracelets end up that the folks buying and making them will put their info and images on Facebook.  It could be lots of fun to follow or a complete bust.  Stay Tuned!

No Excuses

Yes, it's been months since I posted.  I'm always amazed at bloggers who maintain a very consistent approach to blogging.  I guess as I consider this, rarely is anything consistent in my world.  A lot has been going on; family, vacations, holidays, projects (art and writing) and more.  I am close to being ready to send in the cottage bracelets to Art-O-Mat.  Clark will likely forget I had even sent in the protocol that he approved.  I have all the art completed; the fabric bracelets, and the handmade charms and beads.   It took a lot of work to get the final approval from Clark, and I owe a lot of thanks to Took, who helped me through the process.  But now that it's done, I'm very happy with the results.   Now I need to complete the insert/instructions and the boxes and they will be ready to go.  I'm hoping to mail them by the end of the month.  I also want to concentrate on updating my etsy shop.  And then there is ..... and ..... and ...., not to mention the many distractions!  Life is wonderfully busy and I'm thankful for that.
