Off topic: A bit of personal news....

So we found out some news recently that's kind of thrown off my schedule and my energy.... I'm pregnant!

Yep this will be our first baby. We are very excited but boy do I feel icky! (or should I say ooky...) I'm tired, nauseous, and feeling several of the other symptoms! We are guessing that the kiddo will arrive sometime next May.... but we have yet to have our first doctors appt!!

Anyway - I am still going to be working on my project but I want to let you know that my recent burst of energy and productivity may have been short lived - lol. Hopefully my energy levels will go back up by the second trimester.... we shall see.

Tabitha.... your chair is first on my list at the moment but will not be done by the end of the month like I had hoped... I will keep you updated! Hopefully it won't be to much longer!

Hugs to all, Ara

We have a Give-Away Winner!!

Congrats Tabitha - you have won the give-away! You will receive a custom hand-made piece of furniture from me!!

Thank you all for entering the give-away and telling me about your projects. Like I said I wish I could make something for each and every one of you. I appreciate you guys following my blog and commenting and giving me suggestions on my project!!

Here's what Tabitha said about her current projects:

I have two projects that I am currently working on, though I don't have pictures on the blog yet. Mmm...probably should do that...

The first is the study of Prof. Meradoch Emerson Pimm's...archeologist and adventurer!

The second is Medieval ruins that I intend for a friend who writes fantasy novels and short stories. I want to include as many things from his stories in the setting as possible and only recently got the idea for the setting when he wrote "Ruins of Camelot".

I would LOVE to have something made especially by you for the Professor!
