I got home Sunday and I’ve pretty much been useless since.
Monday I was just tired from the trip.
Tuesday I felt off and came home at noon, fed the kids and had a nap before I could carry on with my day.
Wednesday morning at work was a blur. I came home and went straight to bed and woke up around 5.
I’m not sure what the kids did in that time, I remember putting a movie on, and them asking to go outside, I was so out of it.
Last night was terrible, fever, chills, sweats, many naps . . . I called in sick today and counted on having a couch day all to myself while the kids were at the sitter’s. But as things got worse I headed to the clinic. Which led to the lab and ate up most of my day.

They think I picked up some crazy stomach bug while in NYC. Silly public bathrooms and airplanes! I just took the first pill of my prescription and now I’m going to have that couch time while the kids play outside and hope it starts working ASAP!

I’ve even been too sick to blog, so you know it must be bad! So my apologies for disappearing, promise I’m still here and I’ll be sharing more Etsy/NYC fun once I can handle it.

Hello everyone, just wanted to take a moment to fill you all in on some exciting things going on for me. I’m sure you’ve heard I’m heading to Etsy this week, I’m sooo exicted. Not only do I get to go spend a day with creative types at the Etsy HQ I also was lucky enough to receive one of the corporate ‘scholarships’ Etsy was given by some generous companies! So thanks to Outright a portion of my travel expenses are going to be covered, which is super great. They also interviewed me and will be featuring me on their site, and I’ll get to talk to them in person while in New York.

Along with that I’m just wrapping up some details on my contribution to a crafty ebook that’s coming out soon. I’ve been invited to NYC again in April for a special TV event, but I think I’ll wait to say more once things are finalized. I spent some time playing with this HTML stuff last night and I fancied some things up around here. Sadly, my programmer hubby went to bed before I did so I’m not sure what’s up with the ‘Contact’ page, don’t go there yet. I’ve updated my DIYs and hope to get to the CreateAlongs and Friends pages soon.

2012 is turning out to be a great year for SewTara and we’re only approaching spring! I can’t wait for more great opportunities.

That said I’d like to shout out for anyone wishing to hop on the train and be a sponsor on SewTara for April. Info and stats are here.

I’d be so thrilled to have you!
