Well, Happy Arizona's Birthday to everyone!
Here's the deal: the Hubs long ago decided to boycott Valentine's Day. Instead, we celebrate the day Arizona joined the States. I don't get candy, valentines, or jewelry, which is fine, because I don't eat sugar, don't save cards, and have all the jewelry I need. But once in a while, on a Tuesday of no particular significance,
he brings me flowers. It's a better surprise then anyway.
I bit the bullet and...got on Pinterest. Holy cow. I can't figure out which was better...avoiding it or joining it. Within minutes of pinning Phil's leather, it was being repinned all over the place. I think that's pretty cool. But I can see how it can become a Time Vampire. The rationale for the hours lost today was the Setting Up...of course there's a little curve there, right? So I have boards, but they're a little sparse. The link is on the left under Contact Info, if you want to see or follow any boards. I have lots to explore there (and lots of you to find and follow), but have to budget time as I go.
In the meantime, I have walnut ink to package, dolls to work on, a house to clean, and oh, did I mention we're buying another rent house?
In a month there will a Rehab to manage and a house to rent out. That's cool too, because once we can replace the hubby's day job $$$ with rents, he can do the real estate while I do the dolls and the homemaking. Seems like a pretty good set up to me.

Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer...
I keep hearing that Elton John song, for some reason. :~)
This Leah. She came about because a friend of mine from Florida saw the last doll and challenged me to make a "ragged heart girl". I told her I just might make several, but here is the first one. I spent the weekend making her, and finished this morning. Not all of my job is fun...some of the housework and administrivia is tedious. But THIS part of my job? Wouldn't trade it for all the 401Ks on Wall Street.
