This and that

Hello dear Reader. I have a cake in the oven, what else is new? In other news, I was interviewed on the John C. Campbell Folk School blog! In less than 2 weeks, I'll be teaching paper cutting during their Scandinavian week. My darling sis is joining me and will be doing a week of ceramics. I've been getting things ready for the trip and am curious to see how it all goes. This is something outside of my introvert/homebody zone! These two quotes where my inspiration for pushing my comfort zone: 

Today I made a little cutting for a friend's birthday. She's almost a St. Paddy's baby and has Irish roots. We meet for coffee, for her and tea for me. So here we are as lucky ladybugs, toasting our friendship.
