My darling bloggy friends! How I have missed thee!
I've taken nearly a month off from blogging in order to travel the wild roads of South East Asia, but the little niggling twitch in my left eyeball has been a constant reminder of what I miss about the blogosphere: the friendship, the crafting, the inspiration and the sharing. Enough is enough, my eyeball has said! So I have picked up the tools of the trade and am back in bloggy business.
What have we been up to for the past month? Well...
This might surprise all my regular readers, but the month has definitely been filled with eating, and a lot of eating at that. But how can I resist when it looks like this?
There has also been the checking out of shiny, pretty, golden things... and the development of a mild case of kleptomania. If only that giant Buddha would fit in my handbag...
There has been laughter, silliness, dancing, the patting of many stray cuties and endless good times with the gorgeous Sharon and the wonderful Teegs, who joined us for 3 amazing weeks.
And, you will be proud to know, I have actually left my computer (a challenge like no other, now that I own Adobe CS4 and Sims 3!) and actually seen some sights- in both Thailand and Laos!
Whew! No wonder I haven't been blogging! Sharon and I have chosen to settle in Bangkok for the next two months, though, so I'm back in action and can't wait to play in the blog-and-craftosphere.
I have many things to share with you, including new fabric, tales of a stamp carving adventure, fabulous finds from around the web, a Top Secret Project that involves fibres and an addiction, a whole new range of Etsy goodies, and an inspiring craft project that I'm going to need your help with.
Excitement, here we come! Stay tuned this week for all the news...

Welcome back to blogosphere! Sounds like the trip of a lifetime, so far! I'm getting hungry just looking at all of the deliciousness... is that even a word? Rock on sista... enjoy the rest of your time away!
hey, didn't know julie & julia was a book - so have to read it. i liked the movie, thought it was charming.
weirdly, i can't really see 3D - i always see both images so i don't really like it.

So glad you had such a great trip. Did you manage the Mekong boat trip & waterfall from Luang Prabang? I visited Laos & Cambodia this Feb & loved the food too!
If you'd like to know a bit more about my life as a canine, I've pretty well laid out my lifestory in my 2 recent posts "Interviewed by Oprah" Parts 1 & 2!! (Am a bit of a motor mouth!)
Hope you're having a great week too & I'll be back here again soon to check out more lovely posts!
