DESTASH in progress

Back away slowly. This is your only and final warning..........

Do you know what happens when a woman who comes from a long line of woman who could recreate the worlds history of handicrafts should all of humanity be wiped clean from the earth and along with them every craft book DESTASHES? (insert a little overzealous horn tooting here)

It's almost to much to think about isn't it? I have been collecting an impressive collection of random interesting bits for half my life. Once again I come from a long line of woman who have done just the same thing so I can hardly take credit. I am also fully aware that people naturally think that there stuff is the greatest stuff ever. In any event, having given some thought on how to disperse of my most amazing stuff, I have decided to start another ETSY shop. As I go through stuff and decide that I can indeed go on creating without said stuff I will photograph it and possibly write something quippy to describe it (or not depending on my mood) and then put it up in the shop. It won't happen overnight. This is a slow destash. A destash with thought.

Up first are primarily items for Halloween and fall crafting. Stay tuned for more than a Pocketfull .

Firsts

I didn't shed a single tear at school. In fact I gave a big high five to Jon and congratulated myself on selecting the perfect school and lucking out with a fantastic teacher for Soren. However, at this moment as I am downloading pictures from the camera I am a little misty. How did I manage to grow a Kindergartner in such a short period of time?

Soren is so confident of herself at this moment. This...I am five and I run the world moment. This...I am a girl and I rock moment. She thoroughly anticipated that we would just drop her off on the school house steps and she would find her own way to class. This was the first push off of many to come. The moment where your child looks at you with those eye's that say "get lost, I can handle this on my own".
So I will say adieu to my little girl and embrace this new creature that has emerged. There is no doubt in my mind that you will find your way darling. No doubt at all.
