wishin' and hopin'

I think Etsy is one of the greatest places on the internet. I love being able to find incredible handmade goods -- I like knowing that my money is supporting someone who truly loves what they do and appreciates the creative process.With the weekend fast approaching (and lots of time in my garden on the agenda), I thought I'd share some of my favorite Etsy items with you. Some of these have sold, but I still keep them in my favorites, because I think they are just gorgeous. I'd love it if you'd leave me a link to your favorite Etsy shops and sellers in the comments -- I'm always looking for new goodies to add to my "want it want it want it" list.

a quick weekend recap...

Got a lot accomplished over the weekend. Most importantly, I finished Cassidy's scarf -- she loves it. She's a little bummed by the fact that it is all one color, as the next scarf I have planned is a two-color project. But she understands that I had to start somewhere, and she gets to enjoy wearing her scarf while everyone else is still waiting on theirs to be knit. It's give and take, I guess...

The remainder of the weekend was spent reading (I finished two novels this weekend -- Pride and Prejudice, and The Reader, and I've started The Book of Lost Things now), working on a new digital kit, looking through cookbooks and meal planning, doing lots of laundry and dishes, plus getting caught up and ahead on my homework. I'm taking three master's classes right now, which means I'll have only one research class left to finish this summer, and then my master's degree will be completed. After that, I'll be able to get started on my Rank 1 program in Library Media Science.
