No new posts

Sorry there hasn't been any new posts lately... or new drawings! I have had a good reminder of why I hated being pregnant. I get so darn sick. I have just been sleeping and trying my hardest to keep food down for 3 days now. Morning sickness lasts all day for me and although it gets easier after the first trimester it does not go away. Maybe this time it will be different. Let's all pray this pregnancy doesn't kick my butt like the others did so that maybe I can enjoy some of it! Now that I have whined a little let me tell you what else has been going on...
We finally have every step of the way home planned out... how many miles to each stop, which have showers which don't, when we can do our laundry, the nights we should sleep in the vehicle because of bears, EVERYTHING! It is all planned out. I almost can't wait to drive home now. Almost. (did you know that EVERY stop in Canada has cold beer?! who knew)
We have settled the on going battle with the insurance company and will no longer have that headache to deal with! We can finally move on from that darn car wreck... not that I will limp less or magically heal now but my head feels a lot better.
Joe has been looking for a job back in TN. No luck yet but we are not going to give up so easy this time. All ya'll Tennesseans keep us in mind if you hear anyone hiring!
We are going to fly into Fairbanks in mid April to get the dog fixed, buy a vehicle for the ride home (15 passenger vans are cheaper than SUVs weird), and to have this leech checked out. I refer to this baby as a leech because it sucks the life out of me. Macy asked the other day if it would come out as a baby though... I have confused the poor girl terribly. oops.
We have 3 birthdays in April so we are going to plan to have a party here so that should be exciting!
The spring carnival is coming up April 9th- 14th and there are some really exciting things planned in the village. They will have all kinds of dog sled races, Jigs, potlatches, piggy back ride contests, 3 dog sleeping bag contest (yes the dogs pull you in a sleeping bag!), tea making contests, and everything else you can imagine being at a high school fun day! I really can't wait. It is a perfect example of what Venetie is like.... nuts! LOL! This shall be a hoot!
Well I feel the sleep taking over once more so I will end things here. I will try to write more soon!

The way things are

New Etsy Blog

I have started a blog for my etsy friends to follow. I will mostly write about etsy topics but there are bound to be days where I just have to write about the craziness in this place we call home. Take a look if you wish.

Let me know what you think about the new site.

Oh happy day on etsy!

Hi everyone! I have been having a ton of fun with etsy lately and wanted to share what has been happening with everyone. I was asked not long ago to lead a group (Minor Effect) of etsians ages 13-19. We started a blog and a myspace page so if you're interested come see how things are going.

Minor Effect is in the process of having our first group sale!!! Visit the Minor Effect blog for more information. This ends on Monday so be quick about it.
I also made my first treasury on the 4th! It ends today. I am super proud of it and now that I know how to do them there will be plenty more to come. ALSO on the same day my Jenny Needs a Doctor Dolly (pictured) was put into a treasury! How lucky is that?! And all on my anniversary. It was all in all a very good etsy day.
I started making headbands (shown on molly) out of vintage sheets and fabrics. I am having a blast with them. Right now I have only made Star Wars headbands but I just bought some Pound Puppy and Smurfs sheets! I CAN NOT WAIT until those get here! What characters were popular when you were a kid? Would you wear them on your head or put them on your kids heads?
