It's the little things

bathroom

I highly recommend this wall color to everyone for their bathroom. It's "Provence" by Behr (How awesome is that bear at the loading screen?  Wicked awesome.) , available at Home Depot. We have yet to install the shower curtain rod, a mirror, and any sort of shelving, but then again, the light switches aren't full fastened to the wall yet.

Tonight we're installing the lower cabinets in the kitchen and by the end of next week the counters, sink, stove, fridge, dishwasher (!!), and upper cabinets should all be in place. I can't really express how excited we are to not be living out of a suitcase and cooler in one room with two cats, a litter box, and an air mattress. SOON.

George is attending his last Bee School class today, maybe he'll win a hive in the raffle at the end. (He's hoping for bee books instead.)

I've started doing a little itty bitty bit of work at this new great cake shop, maybe I've mentioned it: Short Street Cakes. It's extremely close to our house, it's super small, and adorable. The cake is delicious and the owner, Jodi, is great. If you're in Asheville and are hankerin' for some sweet next Sunday you should stop by her graaaaaaand opening! I'll be there making cake.  (225 Haywood Rd. Be there.)

Big Crafty, big news

The Big Crafty was a huge success and not only for us, personally.  There were over 100 vendors and a pretty constant flow of people starting before it actually began at noon and straight through until we were packing up.  People were astounded by how thin George made his bowls.  There was another old dude there selling bowls, thicker, clunkier bowls and he kept coming back and checking in with George to see how well his were selling.  (They sold just fine, thankyouverymuch.) People were surprised by how tiny my tiny books were,  were intrigued by the earrings, and thought the paintchip books were a great idea but not great enough to buy.  There are a couple more holiday markets we may try and weasel our way into.  

In the meantime, we've both opened Etsy shops which you can find here and here! Maybe you've already noticed the fancy Etsy sidebar thing George put in...  

In other news:  My job and I have parted ways!  It's an incredibly exciting, sudden development - my wrists and shoulders are already feeling better.  Who knew that moving hundreds of pounds of dough and pans around would be such a big deal?
