My hands feel oddly idle

It feels a little weird, not crafting! The last few months, most days I’ve spent at least 1-3 hours making things to fill up stock for the shop.

I was telling someone about it at dinner last night, and she asked me how many items I had in the shop, and I don’t really know, but if we figure there are at least a hundred pieces of jewelry, dozens of cards and wax seals and such, maybe two dozen tea towels and coasters, dozens of books, a couple dozen resin desk items, various 8×10 prints and postcards, and the new serving trays, etc. — well, it could be 500 things? Maybe more?

I didn’t make them ALL recently — the books were generated over years, and printed by someone else. 🙂. But much of it was literally made with my own two little hands. Weird. My hands feel oddly idle right now (except when I’m typing).
I did pack some knitting, though, so if I get desperate for making, I have something. That’s just for me, though; I’m trying to actually take a vacation for a week. I’m making an elvish skirt; I might even finish it this holiday? We’ll see. It hasn’t felt like I had time to make things for myself the last few months, because I was so focused on making things for the shop.

A few pics here of the serving board — it looks just as pretty as I hoped it would, with a little cheese and prosciutto. Festive! Eliana will be taking it down to the shop shortly; I’ll post again when it and the other items are available.
