just received an convo that i was added to this very hearty etsy treasury. i heart all of these things too, and two were already in my favorites, ironically.
i’ve been quiet lately because:
- school’s almost out for the summer and i’ve been busting booty to get things in order in my studio(s) so i can play with the little man when he’s home… all day… every day… for months and months in a row.
- my sweet gram has been in the hospital again and i’ve been loving her up and worrying about her (goes back home to her assisted living home today — they are so wonderful there!).
- i’ve been kicking my health’s arse — ka-cha — take that!! i was pseudo-diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome but i’ll be having none of that. i’m on day 5 of my “cure” and i feel great! just like a 27 year old girl with pigtails and a whip (but not in a “weird way”).
- i have started a new series of LOTS of pieces that i’ve been obsessed with.
- we got a wireless router (finally!) and i added netflix to it so rather than watching a show or movie per week, i’ve been watching really cool documentaries every day about space and history and science. nostradamus, time travel, egypt and string theory are really flippin’ cool.
- i’ve been plugging away on deb’s pulpy book. woots! will post soon.
- both of my cars broke down in unison so i’m learning how to be a mechanic today. (4runners are really too tall for short girls to work on!)
how’ve you been? i miss you!

Congrats on the treasury! It’s beautiful.
Sorry to hear about the CFS – hopefully it’s not official. (My daughter of 17 has it )
Have a great week. 🙂

wow, a treasury of hearts – I heart that (yours the best of course!)
that’s a lot of reasons to be quiet – I like some better than others. fatigue is the biggest issue with the auto-immune arthritis I have and I know how bad it can be – I really, really hope you continue to kick butt!

Heart stoppers? OMG- jaw droppers! I didn’t even know this kinda stuff exsisted! lol. Love that plate, it’s so weird I have love it. What a laugh that would be to eat the meal and find that! It would remind you not to pile your plate too high and not to eat too much fatty stuff…
Not that us gluten free girls can eat the truly decedant stuff anyway! haha.
Rotten luck re your car. We’ve had a looong month here too. My emotions effect the level of creativity so much. I just added the final touches to your book tonight so hopefully it will be heading out to Lisa this week:)

OK so I followed the link to the actual Treasury on etsy and sure enough, yours is circled just like in the picture above. That is some amazing trick Alicia! Yet another reason why you are The Web Goddess. ; ) That heart of yours is one of my long~time favs also!
Did you actually ever tell me it was suspected CFS? If so I musta missed it. I’m so glad you are feeling better. I’m still really looking into the food combining but have yet to actually do it.
I think this morning I finally have it broken down to be pretty easy (cuz it does get complicated and that’s why I haven’t started yet). Protein with green veggies, starches with green veggies and fruits stand alone! I’m sure there are a lot of little nuances that doesn’t cover but that’s the stuff that threatens to make my brain explode. And as you well know there isn’t much left of it anyway so I need to be very careful.
Alrighty so hurry up and share your new stuff already! : )

So sorry to hear your grandmother has been ill again Alicia! Hope she on her way to feeling better now and you too! CFS, bummer, you keep doing whatever makes you feel good and energetic it is obviously working for you. Not long till holiday time and lots of time with Finn, yay! I used to love my time with the kids, never could work out why some mothers hated the holiday period, I loved it! Congrats on the Etsy feature! How funny is that plate and too cool the anatomical heart charm. I’d love that one! I bet those docos are wonderful. That’s all the stuff I love watching too. I just find it all so fascinating! Pigtails and a whip!!! I’m thinking Abbey from NCIS, LOL!

lots of HEART stuff for sure– and lots of good reasons to be busy– they would all overwhelm me but you seem to take them all in stride
