Honeymoon

So I’ve been a bit lackluster on the blogging for a bit. Not to make excuses, but I was in wedding and honeymoon crunchtime and blogging was far from my mind. But now I am wedded, and honeymooned, and back in the real world.

The picture above was from the laini on the geodesic dome we stayed at on the hawaiian island of molokai. It was a lovely place to read or embroider, listening to the dogs, roosters, and ram all talking at the same time, all afternoon. Sounds crazy, but it was really relaxing!

So anyway, I’m home now, just cleaned out the studio, and I’m about to get down to some serious crafting!

Tired girl is hoping if she stays really still she won’t get kicked out of bed. To bad for her, she just gets pictures taken of her, then kicked out of bed!

Webpage work is hard!

I’ve just finished (for the moment, because I am frustrated) updating the Papaver Studio webpage. I have severely chopped down my offerings in the jewelry department in order to focus on some new, fun, projects. In the process I have discovered that my computer is riddled with files of the various incarnations of my webpage, and that I don’t have any clue which ones I should keep and which are safe to destroy! I live in fear that the one that I delete will have that one crucial file that I will discover I need later, only to never have it again….

That being said, the site is almost finished, but I know there are still bugs there to be looked at another day. For some reason the background on my bottlecap jewelry page has decided to be white. Its clearly green on Dreamweaver, and on the “preview on the internet page”, but in real life, its white. Grrrr.

And the “add to cart” buttons are all broken. They work, you just can’t see the cute little image that should be there. Grrrr.

And I’m sure there are other things too, I just can’t bring myselft to deal with those today. Today, I am off to clean bottles to put the fresh brewed beer into, and to bake Christmas cookies with my dear friend Leah, of Leah Glass.

Toodles! Maggie

I think these speak for themselves at to their awesomeness. They are great additions to my weird lamp collection.

I got to take home an old martha stewart paint banner from work today. It is now gracing my coop as a makeshift winter door and pen cover!

I think it looks way snazzier than a blue tarp, don’t you?

Yum.

I love christmas candy, and this is my new favorite! I’m taking this out to the studio with me today.

Flower Power Napkins!

My mom sent me this picture a while ago of some lovely embroidered napkins that a friend of hers did using my “Power Flowers” embroidery pattern. I think they turned out beautiful!

For 2012, a new blog site for Papaver Studio.

maggie kearns-willbach — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:56:12 +0000

I’ll be posting here as I figure out just where Papaver Studio is heading! You can watch me figure out what I am doing, since I’ve got lots of ideas, and I need to narrow them down a bit into a new, manageable arty, crafty business. Hope you enjoy it as much as I will! Maggie

Hi All,

Just a quick note to say that the Papaver Jewelry website/URL is closing! But don’t fear, you can find the exact same site at www.papaverstudio.com, just click on the “papaver jewelry” link on the main page.

My brother (aka, tech support) has spent months trying to get them to lower the price of my jewelry webpage, which was bought and built years ago, in the age before the six dollar a month webpage. For whatever reason, we can’t get the price down, and I see no point in paying for it anymore!

In the coming months there may be more changes here, as my life moves in a different direction than it had been. More working on the house and at the job, less time and energy for jewelry production! I’m still working out what I want to do, but I will figure it out!

Thanks, Maggie
