what's going on

around here you may ask. or you may not care. but i'll tell you anyway. a lot it seems, which is why i haven't posted yet this week. i am super busy filling orders this week and am still not done. it's put me behind with rolling out some new designs for the shop. and behind in gathering all my tax info for the tax guy. i hate that chore.

here's a sneak peek of one of the new designs. i'm into mint and emerald right now. as is everyone else is seems. my pinterest home page is always filled with mint and emerald photos that folks are pinning.speaking of patterns...last week i received a birthday gift from my mother-in-law. she's a quilter. she made me these beautiful coasters. i love the mini floral print on one side that picks up the colors of our family room.
and the back side is a map print. she knows me all too well.
in other news, we're still deciding on this. there's a lot to consider. it's think it'll boil down to, do we want to tackle the maintenance and monthly expense of it. oh, yea, and the big question... where to put the water feature. i think it'd be best on the far end, steve thinks the close end.

and ... this should be arriving any day now. i'll be a happy camper when it's up on the wall.

speaking of... this makes me happy... all these came in the mail today. 4 magazines in one day in my mailbox is like christmas. i love a good mail day.
