I am so sorry I’ve been so negligent. I didn’t mean to ignore you like you didn’t exist! I think of you often…especially when one of the youngsters says or does something funny. You are in my thoughts all the time!
I’ve been anxious to show you all my cute pictures and things on which I’ve been working. I captured Annie’s little "nose crinkle" jus the other day and immediately thought of you and how much you would love to see it.
She is getting so big and now sitting at her *real* highchair! We love having her sit at the table with us….she loves to eat her food – especially peas which surprises me somehow.
I’ve been so busy these past few weeks working on a big Annie and Olive project! Today I sent out over 100 Annie and Olive pieces to an art gallery in Scotland for a Christmas exhibition through the holiday season. I’m so glad to be a part of it and this is the main reason I haven’t visited you more often. Making a lot of little felt-y things and fabric-y things and flowery things and mushroom-y things and heart-y things takes a lot of commitment and time…and patience from that guy I talk about sometimes(remember? Russell is his name). I made tons of fun and cute things and sent them off for a fun Scottish adventure! They were thrilled. (Especially the mushrooms who practically climbed into the boxes themselves.)
I’m also still involved in the Poppytalk Handmade Virtual Street Market for the month of November. There are so many cute items that I want to tell you about – maybe next time?
There have been a couple of things that the boys have said that I didn’t want to forget…and of course the first thing I think about is you! You know you live in a very advanced age technologically speaking when your three year old asks you "where is the button?" on your feather duster.
You know that your six year old is cute and still so young (even when he is the biggest) when you tell him he’ll be in "double trouble" if he doesn’t shape up. And then being in "double trouble" being the absolute worst thing that could ever happen.
I’ve also been wanting to tell you more about Colin’s first grade year and how smart he is! Reading up a storm and loving it. This makes me so happy.
I hope to post more often in the next few weeks. I’ve got a backlog of pictures to show you – I’m sure you’re starting to think I only have this one little girl anymore! Rest assured, I have two precious boys too (three when you count that guy, Russell) and they are needing some attention.
I’ve enjoyed our time together. Thanks for always being there when I have even a few minutes and I’ll see you soon! I’ll leave you with one last cute picture and then off to the rest of my day…
Love,
Bethany

Dear Bethany, I forgive you. But I miss you when you are gone… 🙂

Hi Bethany
Just thought I’d post a comment for a change, instead of just reading your blog! I love your creations, and it was great to see you back on Craft TV.
Love Ailsa
Le sigh… This blog entry makes me want to shop for cute things. And take pictures of cute things. Hello to you and hey to that guy Russell. 🙂
