I tried to take a selfie for you
I’ve gotten four compliments already today on my new jumpsuit, so I tried to take a selfie for you, which only sort of worked. 🙂
When award-winning author Mary Anne Mohanraj learned she had breast cancer, she immediately began recording the details in her blog. Tornado is her honest, day-by-day account of diagnosis, chemo, surgery, radiation, and reconstruction, over a three-year period.
One out of eight women gets breast cancer. You know someone who has it, or work with someone, or may have been diagnosed yourself. This is a book for all of us, but especially for anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis for yourself, or for someone you love.

Hm, not sure the little bouquets are going to work as we move into summer — these were sitting outside in the bright sun and heat, and most of them were very droopy by the end of the day. I’m unlikely to invest in a cooler to store them — it’d take up too much space in my little store. Maybe I can find space to display them in the store, though? Some of them?
Took a little break from dried flowers to experiment with metal inclusions. Flowers remain my true love, but this was a fun flirtation. 🙂
Someone, I can’t remember who, sorry, asked whether I made rimmed coasters. I hadn’t, but I picked up some molds and experimented. Not sure the rimmed version is my favorite style, but I’m happy to make more if some people actually prefer them. 🙂
