Simple Joy Sunday
Finding the simple joys each week...
I made a pot of Lemongrass (fresh from my herb garden) Soup with Chicken this week. It is so freaking yummy!!!
I treated myself to a Soda Stream soda maker. Well, I'm really using it to make sparkling water. I'll share more about it in a different post, but suffice to say: I love it!
I listed three new items this week in both my Artfire Studio & Etsy Shop! Again, I want to share them with you in separate posts, but I was thrilled to make such progress with the shop. Picture taking & editing has never been my favorite part of selling online but put on some good music, drink a yummy beverage (the aforementioned sparkling water, wine, or tea work well), and you get something brand new to list! I even got eight new hearts for my Etsy shop this week. Now, only to get some sales...
I took a trip to the outlet mall on Saturday and scored some really great deals at The Gap. They almost never have my size in jeans at the outlet, but not only did they have my size but it was in my favorite style. Score.
My echinacea was done extracting this week, so I now have a nice stock of echinacea tincture for when we feel a cold coming on. Winter isn't over yet!

Friday Finds - Getting Cozy on a Rainy Day
Scott & I spent the afternoon getting the oil changed in each of our trucks, grocery shopping, and doing various other not too terribly exciting errands. It's a rainy, crappy day here. After all of that running around, I can't wait to settle in with a cozy blanky...
A nice, hot cup of tea...
And read a good book...
Right now I'm reading The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon. What are you reading?

Simple Joy Sunday
Finding the simple joys each week...
I've been doing more cooking than I used to and am surprisingly not minding it so much. My attitude has always been that I like to eat, but really don't like to cook. Probably since around Christmas, I've been doing a good job of cooking on a semi regular basis and making lots of extras so that we have leftovers. It's so nice seeing a full refrigerator! And the strange thing is that I haven't really minded doing it! Don't tell my mom... I'll never live it down.
One day that I was feeling kind of cranky at work this week, Scott brought in Chinese food (I've been craving it for weeks now!) and a Black and White Cookie (one of my all time favorites) to make me smile. It worked. He's such a sweetie!
I haven't really picked up my pliers much in the last few months, but inspired by the Fantasy Artists of Etsy Street Team's monthly challenge I created a new piece. It felt really good to have my pliers in my hands and be working with metal again. Check out my blog post about my challenge piece!
Taking a walk, getting some fresh air, and holding hands with my sweetie. It was so nice to spend time together. Plus, a walk & fresh air is such a simple thing, but can really make a difference when you're stuck at work.
My psychic friend Ramona that gave me the crystals last week, gave me another prezzie this week. She treated herself to a new deck of tarot cards and likes to give away an old set when she buys new so I was the lucky recipient of deck of Angel Oracle Cards.
Scott & I went to see Avatar this week and let me tell you: it was amazing. I was afraid that the 3D would make me sick (I am extremely sensitive and apt to getting motion sickness), but it was really well done and the CGI was woven so seamlessly into the movie. The visuals were gorgeous, the acting was great, and the message is as pertinent as ever (I only hope that it gets across).
I spent a good amount of time straightening up my work room. It's not perfect, but it feels so much better being able to at least see the top of my desk!
Okay, not only did I make my FAEteam challenge piece this week, but I also spent Saturday working on two new maille pieces and photographing a beaded necklace & earring set! I haven't had a day like that in a long time and it felt really good.
