blog love
January 17, 2009

One pretty incredible thing I hadn’t counted on with this whole blog business is the relationships I have because of it. I just plain adore my blog pals. And their crafty, hilarious, kindred, rich, fabulous, inspiring –ness. People I didn’t know before March of 2007 and people, who, really, I still don’t know, as in I haven’t heard their actual voice, but do know in this raw and lovely way. (And, for the record, blog pals, all of those words that link to those women could have been interchanged. You are all crafty, hilarious, kindred, rich, fabulous and inspiring to me. Thanks.)

So, a little shout out to a few textile objects that are now in Missoula, Montana instead of other warmer states because of the Incredible Blog Pals.

This little hat for my little chicken on her first birthday from Kelle and Kelly, my sisters on the Atlantic.

And, this sweet creation to warm the cockles of my heart and cold Montana neck from Finny, my sister on the Pacific.

Funny thing is two of these women have something in common that I am only realizing as I type: they are the only two people to whom I have secretly given peach butter (cause my man objects to sharing the deliciousness). Finny won it and Kelle turned thirty. But Pacific received a bag of orange goo with a lame apology note from usps. Atlantic got it in tact. Fin, owe you one.

Anyway, as I sit in my orange cushy office chair on a Friday night with my girl’s cozy noggin and my cozy neck, my cell phone forgotten at work and martini within reach at my computer, well, shucks, I feel lotsa love and admiration for all of you out there. Cheers to a three-day weekend and a brand spankin‘ new president on Tuesday.

If I was handy with thread, perhaps Bug would have something from me!

Thanks for the link, I feel much the same way about you and many of the other fantastic people I have met online. Hugs!

Oh what a lovely warm fuzzy feeling on this here oh-god-let-the-cold-snap-give Monday morning. I have been so enjoyed peeking in on your life and the things you make, from the Bug to the edibles to the craft action, and honored that you peek in on mine. Someday we will drink a bottle of wine together and say ‘yo’ as much as we please and it will be grand, I just know it.
