Get into my belly!!! Miss P is testing my self-control with these AMAZING Paleo snickerdoodles!!! So. Good. 😍
I did something surprising last night. I blogged. Crazy, right!? Since I decided to close down the product side of Home Again, I’ve been wrestling a bit with what that meant for the website, if I wanted to blog on my portfolio site, if I wanted to even have a blog & I’ve slowly realized that I sort of just want to go back to my roots. Before I ever started lettering, even before cut paper (anyone remember that??), I was a Maker of Things and I loved to share my random projects on my blog. And began to see that all the brainstorming & mission statements I ever worked up for Home Again, fit perfectly with the blog I used to have. So. Home Again Creative will live on — it just won’t be all about greeting cards & art prints. If you’re more interested in my illustration work, you’ll find that at loridanelle.com & @LoriDanelle. I’m looking forward to sharing that side of me again! And if you’d like some tips about tent camping Disney — you can find it on my blog. 😊 Hope you’ll join me!
I’m ending my 25-30(?) year hiatus from counted cross-stitching this week. I found cute wooden kits this summer for the girls to learn & we broke them out yesterday. Of course, only one was really a kit with floss — I need to pay better attention — so, while at the store getting needed floss, the girls asked me to make something with them too. After perusing the local big box craft store’s selection & finding it seriously lacking — do people actually buy some of that stuff? — I hopped on Etsy & found the good stuff! However, after 1 evening, I’m contemplating getting one of those huge magnifying lens things to put over it. 😳 I’m also about to start researching lasik eye surgery. 🤣
Being a working-illustration/ homeschool-mom is clearly very glamorous. 🤣🤣 Thursday usually finds me sitting in the back of my car, working on my iPad while one or both of the girls are in tutorial. This afternoon, I’ll treat myself to a Route 44 diet cherry limeade during Sonic happy hour. I COULD go somewhere with you know, tables & chairs, but I’ve actually come to enjoy my little spot & can get a surprising amount accomplished! Not sure what I’ll do when it gets cold though...
Last March, when I announced that I was switching gears & closing my shop, you guys absolutely blew me away with orders. The trouble is, I have a TON of inventory. This became incredibly apparent this weekend as Nate & I were clearing out the closet of cards & art prints to make room for other things. So, I’ve lowered the price on cards again. ONE BUCK. $1. Because I really need to move through them & I’m afraid that may never happen in my life time!! And once again, thank you so much for supporting me on this journey!! It means the world to me! ❤️
