Let it snow?

Hello, dear readers!  I apologize for going missing for awhile.  Between the snow canceling my classes (after only one class for each!) and all my projects piling up, I've been very busy.  A few updates:

-The Etsy store is going well.  I manage to find a lovely wholesaler who is willing to work with me regarding supplies.  I have so many new designs in the works!  Also, the storefront is coming along nicely.

-Minerva, my darling kitty, has taken to scratching himself until he bleeds.  So, like a nervous mother, I've been trying to figure out what it could be.  I've narrowed it down to the mean lady at PetSmart who doesn't cut his nails right (the second time this has happened!  And she is just so mean to the cats; it makes me furious) and the dry air in the apartment.  But, he's healing well and now we've taken to saying, "Minerva, SOFT" every time he scratches.  He's getting the hint.

-After much debate, we've decided to give up the apartment hunting.  It's too much to worry about now, and with our job transitions, maybe we should hold off.  Which means....REDECORATING!!!!  A crafter's dream!  More on that to come...

-I've discovered that the Canongate Myth Series is available on Nook.   Needless to say, I've been keeping my nose in Baba Yaga Laid an Egg.  I'll keep you posted on how it ends.  Also, in the reading department, I've recently finished A Short History of Women.  So, that is also on the list for a quick review soon.  Honest - I'm getting to it.

-School has started!  And I am fortunate enough to be asked to teach another class.  So that means reading a new textbook and writing a new syllabus.  Whenever I finish both tasks, I feel as thought I've accomplished a great feat.

-And the BIG CRAFT PROJECT.  My friend is getting married and she asked me to help her with the invites!  I'm so excited.  More on that to come as well.

-Oscar season!  Hopefully http://the-screen-goddess.blogspot.com/ will be up and running before we know it so I can give you my take on the movies this year.

With that being said, I've been working all morning.  So, it is time for some tea and yummy digestive cookies (I got hooked in England - go to Shop Rite NOW and buy some.  Delicious AND low in fat!).

I know I've been missing for awhile, but I'm working really hard on opening the store by the end of the month!  I'm so excited; for once, I feel as though I'm working on a project that is truly, unequivocally mine. 

So the banner is up at www.etsy.com/shop/KoraAndPenelope but you can check out the pic here too:

How fantastic is this?  This is such an amazing journey - thank you, dear readers, for being a part of it.

Many special thanks and love to my wonderful boyfriend who took the time to design it:
