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.

Auntie Nettie's Attic Merchandise 2011 - February

February wasn't such a productive month in terms of crafting for Auntie Nettie. Coding, combing through databases, compiling information, and concentrating on work either on the office or the studio computer were more of the priority this month, sadly.

I did occasionally look away from the tiny tiny series of numbers and flex another part of my brain, and remembered why the yarnarts like knitting and crochet are prescribed by therapists for their relaxing qualities. I can't wait until I drop hundreds (please, just 100s, not 1,000s) of letters in the mail and finish this big work project, so I can get back to things that don't stress me out so much.

Here's the February wrap-up, such as it is:

ANA 2011-07: Minty Green Chevron Lace Blanket
in a badly lit close-up:
ANA 2011-08: Lots of hearts for Valentine's Day "Secret Cupid" and other future projects
(not all of the hearts are pictured here)
ANA 2011-09: Violet Chevron Lace Blanket
(as of June 2011, no longer available)
in closeupStill in progress:

As ever, if you see anything you'd like, just contact me for sizes, availability, and costs.
