finally an update...sorry folks!

I thought I'd post a quick update as many have been asking where I've been, and it's true that this blog has been somewhat 'subdued' recently.

It's been difficult to focus on my work very much lately. Serious family health issues have been taking center stage lately. My dear Mom has been struggling with her cancer, and my dear Dad was recently admitted to the hospital in the city, for open heart surgery. It's still touch and go in many ways, but he is recouping. The family has rallied together as it always does. We'll make it through this.

Once things are back to 'semi-normal', and I've recharged a bit...I'm looking forward to getting back into my binding with a renewed vigor. I've got some new ideas that I haven't yet realized, and I'm itching to try them.

Stay tuned folks. :) Thanks for checking in with me!

Etsy front page

My Mark Twain sheepskin journal made the front page today.

in the news...

Here is the article about my bookbinding home business which ran in the Dec. 16 edition of The Advance - novanewsnow.ca. I made sure I gave Trans Canada Etsy Team a plug. I tried to also get Bookbinding Esty Street Team in there, but they left it out as it was less 'local'. (click for larger readable view)

And here's the article as it appears on the online version of The Advance at novanewsnow.ca.

things to come

I got a phone call from the paper this afternoon…apparently they want to do a story on me and my li’l business. Neato. They must be pretty hard pressed for copy. Heh! You can be sure that my family will buy up every edition, but I just may be able to salvage a copy for myself to get it scanned and posted here when it hits the stands. Who was it that said a little shameless self promotion is good for the bones? …no one? Oh well. They should have said it. ;)
