Crazy busy, so many orders to ship, so that is good. I can hardly walk through my workshop, which is now the upstairs hallway, there are half-finished projects strewn everywhere. Fortunately for me, I over-bought supplies last year, because EVERYTHING is impossible to find unless I want to pay a premium. My wholesale supplier has "out of stock" on every craft item I need, and it has been that way for 2 months. Jingle bells are especially hard to find. Again, last year, I bought about 500 tiny rusty bells, I think it cost me $9. I found one person selling them--the cost for 500? $40!!!! And I thought the price of steak was insane. Here is a group of things I finished with my precious hoard of bells.

How is it Mid-November Already?
I have been working non-stop on Christmas goods, seems like I came up for air and can't believe how little time is left until Christmas is here. I am currently thinking of forgoing my usual Christmas excess and just putting up a tree. The house is so depressing these days. Life goes on, and I do like what I've been creating.
