Hi there! I'm here.
Sorry for taking a wee, un-announced break there, and for worrying anyone that I worried.
I'm here!
I'm fine.
I've been getting work done, but also keeping it a little quiet at the Black Apple cottage.
A little of this...
(Enjoying Amy's book, which is every iota as wonderful as everybody says)
A little of that...
(munching on banana bread)
And a just a little of this, too:
PS: Thank you so much for the great update Tuesday!
There are a few original pieces in the shop at the moment, so take a gander if you're interested, as it doesn't happen too often.
PPS: I'm not getting about half of my comments via email...and I don't know why. I'll investigate, but in the meantime, it's probably best to email directly if you have an important question.






Welcome back! When blogs are quiet I figure people are super busy....and you my dear always seem busy.
I love your little sitting area, so inviting and the perfect place to munch on banana bread!

Miette is beautiful. And I'm so relieved that you are OK, Miss E, and that everything at the black apple cottage is as beautiful as ever.

Enjoy your downtime! The banana bread looks delicious. I can't wait for it cool off in Vegas so I can start doing some baking.
