Things have started taking off in the shop this week.

Working-working-working!

Orders rolling in–early birds for Halloween are my favorites.

When things start taking off, and I start getting so busy, I always find myself getting enamored with techniques that force me to slow down. That invite me to take that comfy seat and grab a cup of milky tea.

Anything that forces one to slow down, to take their time, to focus and to relax.

Hand-work, ahhhhh–always relaxing.

Another Wednesday? What? This week is flying by. Had a little photo shoot Monday morning, and I’m still editing images from that. (if you’re a fan of my facebook page, you’ve seen some of the new images and items for sale) Hope to have some to share in Friday’s post.

Until then, you get my favorite Pinterest finds of the week!
