Last Friday, my Boston Etsy street team- Boston Handmade<\/a>, had a meet-up with Maria Thomas<\/a>, the new CEO of Etsy.<\/p>\n

Here is my photo of the event-<\/p>\n

There are much better photos and a great recap here<\/a> on the BH blog. It was so great to meet her- we all came away feeling that Etsy is heading in the right direction with a thoughtful and intellegent leader.<\/p>\n

And there is more-<\/p>\n

You know I love blogging. I’ve been doing it for 5 years now and it feeds something in me. There are lots of reasons to blog and lots of great things that come as a result… but I have to admit- presents in the mail can not be beat! What is better then getting an email saying “I found something I knew you would love” from someone you have never met in real life (see related story here<\/a>!). This came in the mail for me last week-<\/p>\n

Thanks Mary<\/a>! You were right- I love it all!<\/p>\n

There are various side benefits to scheduling a workshop\/class at my house. It is like having your mother-in-law come to stay. The house gets cleaned up, projects get done. When I decided to do the workshop, I used it as an incentive to move forward on a stalled house project- the bedroom that will be my new studio some day. Yes, a room that actually has heat! Anyway, the room has been in limbo for … I’m too embarassed to tell you how many years. Various life events happened after I got started on it and then everytime I thought about getting back to work, I felt totally overwhelmed. Well, I have made great leaps forward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not done, but it all seems doable at this point. Maybe I will be working in there by next winter. I am not going to go overboard with unrealistic expectations!<\/p>\n

Cleaning up meant collecting things to go to the Salvation Army. You see, I have to restain myself from going- my rule is, I have to donate a bag if I want to go shopping. So, on Friday, as I was driving down to the meeting with Maria Thomas, I stopped by to drop off my bag and take a quick look.\u00c2\u00a0 ooo, all knits, 3 for $1. I spent $3 and came home with another load of cashmere, angora and wool. Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
