Thanks for the get well wishes from some of you, i actually appreciated that a lot more than you’d think. I am FINALLY feeling much better and back to my old self.Altho i am not rushed and living out of a suitcase at the moment and can catch up on some things i need to show off and thank some people! As you know because my sister and i sell handmade things, i really supporthandmade myself. I want to show you some excellent people I’ve ordered from or traded with as of late. Actually over a month ago i emailed Amy about her cute little stitch markers she had made. She told me how much and i said send me some! here’s the cute little snowmen and pea pods she sent along:




Onward...a long time ago i did a cd swap and one of my partners was Marianne you simply MUST check her site out if you haven’t already. I instantly became a huge fan of her illustration and herONEYE characters. She is one of my most favorite designers for her use of color and whimsy in her characters. I one day asked her if she’d like to trade stuff for one of her little felt flower pins. She agreed and here’s what she sent me a whole little package with her little characters!






Another great little handmade shop is Stephanie over at Trudesign Please go check out her new handmade jewelry over at her little shop that opened a week or so ago. I think her stuff is very affordable and very pretty. I ordered this little necklace that screams spring in aqua and lime greens.
here’s my oneeye modeling it:




Also in our little shop please give Jen L. a warm welcome as one of our shop’s newest friends of P knit pattern designer! Click here to order her little pattern. Again 100% of the cost of the pattern goes to each of the friends ofpiddleloop designers! We are happy to have such cool friends! 

In other news....we wandered into target over the weekend for paper towels and other “fun” stuff and if you have ever read my archive for April of last year you will know my sister and i have a thing for candy. My sister likes to buy 20$ worth of Reese’s peanut butter eggs and i like to eat “crap candy” as Nat calls it. (translates to anything not chocolate) I can’t go into target without going to the candy section first. Nat had no control this time because we saw that target is now using Naughty Naughty Pets to sell it’s Easter stuff. We have always been fans. I bought this little guy Cousin Elliot because he’s my favorite color: orange.


he’s also on top of a book i have almost finished this past weekend. I recommend this book The End of Faith by Sam Harris to anyone who is angered as i have been as of late with how religion is engulfing all moral reasoning, especially within politics. He talks a lot about how morality needs to be reasoned without using religion especially within politics and government. He also notes many things within this book that i found surprising in the 20th and 21st centuries. You would think our thinking,reasoning, and basis for maorality would be far far far past where it is now, it’s quite depressing. 
Speaking of books i got these:


My shawl is still only at the first wedge and the mohair is really fuzzy but here it is


and last i’ll leave you with Lucy who likes to park herself in front of a little heater fan we use to warm up the colder rooms. she is a smart dog sometimes.
