Does anyone else feel like the nastiest Summer colds ever are going around randomly attacking people this season? I have so many sickly friends and family lately.
Also, soooo many things to catch up on! I’ve been thoroughly knocked down and out by The Plague. Apparently when you’re knocked up The Plague comes disguised as a simple common cold and then attacks you viciously, leaving you an empty hull of your former self 
To give props where due, not only has Blake taken most excellent care of me (and everyone else on the homestead while I’ve been unable), Pixie has proven to be a most comforting little sick bed companion.

I finally gave in and am now on some meds to hopefully kick it’s ass. I don’t want to jinx it, but this is the first time in the past couple of weeks I’ve felt up for doing literally ANYTHING, so I’m going to take that as a good sign.
But back to catching up….so very behind on everything interwebs related. Here, Flickr, Etsy, other various and sundry things including the exciting conclusion of the Potholder Swap. Hopefully I can plug away at some of that first, while I wait to be up for more challenging tasks that don’t involve sitting at my desk.

A variety of freshly spun yarny goodness at Hello Yarn.

). It was so creative and diverse and getting items from five other people just made it extra fabulous.
