I know it’s Friday the 13th, but I’m looking forward to a good day no matter what happens today. I’ve been sick since Monday and yesterday managed to pull out of the fog for at least most of the day. Today, I also am feeling better this morning, which after spending a night or two on the bathroom floor, well, I’m thrilled to feel even semi-normal!

Before the flew bug bit me in the you-know-what, I was about a third of the way into a massive overhaul and reorganization of my office slash craft studio, and I think I may manage to complete it this weekend if my energy level stays on par. It is so comforting to have my craft supplies around me, all organized in their neat little bins and boxes rather than scattered in one room or the other.

On another “up” note, I am also able to finally see again! I got my bifocals yesterday, and the world is now my book so to speak. It is so nice to be able to read things on the television screen or to be able to work on my bead dummy manuscript this week without having to do the hoochi-coochie dance to get the pages just at the right angle. Yes, I know bifocals are another sign of aging, but I’m so happy to be able to see again, I don’t even care!

So, now that I’ve done my happy craft dance for you, onto more craft goodness around the web from my fellow craft bloggers who totally rock!
