PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Items of the Week - Building Blocks for Babies

Not to spoil the surprise for some of my friends who are expecting visits from the stork ... but I've been having fun using up scrap yarn to create these blocks. They are stuffed with a variety of things, including yarn scraps and fiberfill, so they are extra squooshey for little hands. They are also very light, so they won't hurt the baby when tossed around. Hopefully the color contrasts and the different patterns and textiles are good for brain development too.

Stay tuned for more Items of the Week
and other Auntie Nettie's Attic merchandise and special offers.
