Kalends of February

Seems I'm forever changing my mind...

Originally I'd been putting up these posts to let you get a preview and peek into things month to month.
Then I fell out of it, in lieu of taking care of more pressing things.  Now they're back again. *sigh* (This is a hazard of doing too much by the way...)

So I won't try to recap too far back.

What's new?  My latest move has had me in a bit of a tizzy.  I've had the major project of re-formatting the on-site store.  Weebly, who I created my website through, did some major changes to their system which led to some major functionality increase in how we can display stores via the service.  I'm pretty stoked about this because it means you can come here, shop, and learn everything you wanted to know about me and my work including reading through my blog.  The one "drawback" is that the shipping system is super simplified so for my non-US customers you'll still need to head over to my Storenvy shop to buy.

Another part of the shop set up has involved a slight price shift.  Alright maybe not so slight.  I've been toying about with this idea for months, but I finally decided that I would implement free domestic shipping storewide.  This is just a special little feature I'm offering to you because I want it to be even easier to bring my work into your home.

I've also gone and added five new special collections to the store.  You can check out my Chakra Wellness and Divine Spirit collections respectively.  There are also the Elemental Energy, Literary Madness, and Gothic Delight collections as well.  I will talk a bit more about each in special blog posts but in case you hadn't peeps them yet head over now and check them out!

In other news, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if you're looking for something to show your sweetheart (or yourself) some love I've got a lovely plethora (no pardoning that pun) of things to share the love.  These are just a few things specifically dedicated to the subject of the day, the love goddess Herself Aphrodite (aka Venus), and the Heart Chakra...
Aphrodite Pandemos Mala
Charming Aphrodite
Adorn Thee Aphrodite
Venusian Delight
Dark Chocolate Rosette

Anahata Earrings 3
Healing Heart Bracelet
Heart Chakra Scarf
Today also marks one of my solar holidays, Imbolgc, which is all about cleansing and preparation.  Its the first holiday of the calendar year so its a good time to shake off the doldrums the cold and move from the reflection and introspection of the Winter Solstice as we move towards the energy of the Spring Equinox.  Transitioning smoothly is important and a good stretch, figuratively speaking, is never a bad thing.  For those of you on my newsletter I have a special surprise for today only.  If you're not on the list you need to get there now so you don't miss out on the fun again!

What's in progress...?
  On the hook I've got an interesting little concoction.  One of my scrap blanket projects.  These are usually personal projects because I pay no heed to color schemes just using whatever is close by to build something visually interesting.  If you've fallen in love with my menagerie of color you can contact me about pricing though, I won't mind.

Me and my menagerie of colors...
I also recently blogged about my revisiting of broomstick lace.  Sombre Skies is coming along nicely and nearly finished.  I'm tooling about with adding some light colored fringe, but I'm not altogether sure just yet.

Doesn't it look like a sombre sky to you???
Then there is the butterfly madness I have been a party to lately.  I finally invested in all of the tatting needles I've been drooling over for months.  Being a sensible shopper I always make myself wait to buy tools to make sure I get the best deal on them - I like to get as many as I can at once because as much as I like to have spares I don't really need more stuff.  (I'm a collector of things so I have to be mindful of that.)  These lovelies will be making an appearance in my packaging in a little Share the Love initiative that I'll be talking more about soon.
Utter butterfly madness...
This one is special ~ made for the bestie :)
