back to work

I hope you all had a wonderful evening last night. Geoff & I watched a few movies from the comfort of our couch, and rang in the new year by laughing & feeling glad that we hadn't gone outside: it was cold (for some reason I seem completely incapable of dealing with the cold lately).

I wish all of you much health, happiness, and love in 2009! Hearts hearts hearts.

I have had the past little while off work, but there just hasn't been much opportunity to make new things for the Etsy shop; as a result, it seems to have grown a little stagnant. Yesterday I decided to go back to work (not work-work) and I made a red plaid tie which I think will be perfect for Valentine's Day. The picture above was actually an accident, but I like how it looks with the vibrant red thread peeking out of the corner.

I made this one for Geoff with a little heart on the label, inspired by Caitlin, who had asked that I put a heart on the tie I sent her. So clever!

I also wanted to mention that I started a Tumblr account as a sort of visual archive. It's a good way to collect some of the beauty I encounter in a day.
