Craft Shack Chronicles, Shop Stuff, and Updates…Oh my!

In which I update you all on my stuff, share some links, and sell you all on the cuteness of baby seals.

Banana Slugs are a thing here, and I think they're super cute. They also signal that Spring is here! Finally...sheesh.

Ok, so it's been about a month since I last wrote. That's pretty sad, and I apologize. I wish I could do better, but it has been crazy. I've released 2 more episodes of The Craft Shack Chronicles, added more listings to my Etsy shop, made a few new things that will either become listings or were new technique R&D. Plus two birthdays, Easter, my wedding anniversary (18 years, fyi), a TON of volunteer shifts with a ridiculous amount of harbor seal cuteness, helping out neighbors, and then all of the regular life stuff. It has been hectic! Anyway, still here; still chipping away at Woods Waves and Wonders. Trying to keep an eye out for the craft fairs this summer-I'm hoping to set up a booth and try that out too!

In case you really like animals, marine mammals especially, check out the organization I volunteer for. They do a lot of good, and I can totally attest that these volunteers are crazy dedicated for what is 90% unglorious, smelly work. Ask my familia how badly I stink when I get home after a shift. Hint: not pretty. But seriously, friends. This place does really good work on a barebones volunteer crew, minimal funding, and small and aging facilities. Plus, right now we have babies-so their Facebook feed is like an overload of cuteness. Go check it out-you'll be glad you did!

The latest epsisodes of The Craft Shack Chronicles are below. I'm in the middle of a revamp of my storytelling/video goals, so expect more showing and less telling on the next ones. I am honestly sick of myself as a talking head. It's a waste of time for me to edit and for you to watch, so we're pivoting! Yay change! But...until then-here you go. At least there's cats.
