Back in Action!

Holy Wow!

So many page views! Over 1,700! I guess it's time to make a come-back!

Like I said in my last blog, oh-so-long ago, Ishtar's Garden had been put on the back burner while the rest of boring, mundane life worked itself out. And as of today, I'm closing the chapter on the last phase! It's exciting, nerve-wracking... and other adjectives I'll probably think of later.

What does this mean for you, dear reader?

It means that I can finally get myself on a schedule centered around my passion! I can create beautiful pieces that you can wear with pride, I can get the shop open finally, I can be available for commissions and expand my skills to make you even better things.

But most importantly, I get to be happy. That's the ultimate goal after all, isn't it?

I hope you will continue to join me on this journey!

Namaste!

Happiness Is... Part 1

It's been a chilly, rather gloomy day, but that doesn't mean my mood matches the weather. In fact, I'd have to say that the weather has multiplied my good spirits.

It's nearly 5pm, the sky is full of dark clouds, and rain is gently pattering against the large window in front of my creative space. I'm cozy in my lounging clothes, complete with newly-acquired furry black moccasins and an extra large mug of hot pumpkin spice flavored coffee.

The extra giant mug my sister gave me, bamboo, my diary-turned-creative-journal,
and a delicious candle.

The house still needs unpacking, the bed is only half made, and my laundry still won't fold itself, but little could really soil my contentment. The Roommate is playing the brand new copy of Halo 4 we picked up for him last night, the Boy is in the kitchen making homemade chili, I'll be making cornbread in a bit and there's a generous pumpkin pie for dessert. It's the simple things, truly.

Luna cuddles my feet.
