Auntie Nettie's Attic Merchandise 2011 - October

Another month down. Time still flying. Not so much time for crafting. Let's try and figure out why. Oh, yes. There was the:

~ Cape Cod Girls Weekend 2011;
~ recovering from injuries sustained while biking on the Road Trip;
~ so much work-related drama;
~ so much work-related pondering of job/personal issues;
~ so many work-related conversations with colleagues, friends, and a bosslady (to no avail, more on that later);
~ too many work-related farewell parties and late nights in the office and at events;
~ Auntie Nettie's Tour (patent pending) of New York on Columbus Day with Emily and Wendy;
~ Flu shots/Blood Drives - one made me sick, the stress of not eating got me rejected from the other;
~ so much baking to try and relieve work-related stress;
~ Sunday brunches with friends in the City and trips to Museums for Christmas presents;
~ and a planned long weekend in the "country" exploring museums, galleries, and attending Caramoor Rising Stars concerts with a houseguest -- which was curtailed DUE TO SNOW.

Seriously. If I didn't have that pesky work thing, I could blog, bake, craft, and enjoy life so much more. But as I've said for over a year, and in light of my friends' various employment (and non-employment) issues, I am grateful to be employed and to have any benefits.

In other news, Maxxie and RubyNikon 2.0 and I are still working to learn each other's quirks, but we're getting there. Like last month, these items may make it up on the shop at some point, but honestly, some of these are already spoken for.
