A quick update for you because I missed writing Etsy Take Five Tuesdays this week and have been receiving lots of emails asking if I've stopped writing the column and the answer is not at all! The column will resume again next Tuesday, this week has been tough for me to do much of anything because I have the nasty flu and strep throat (fun!). I haven't had much energy. I wasn't about to mention my illness on decor8 because I don't really like to talk about my health here, besides who really cares if I'm sick or not it's just a cold! But with all the "What happened to Take Five Tuesdays?" emails this week, I had to address this publicly on the blog. :) Don't worry! Take Five is still alive and kickin'.

S is for Sick.

Oh and today I'm in the Boston Globe with another piece, this time all about gardening. It's a full page in the Style section, you can't miss it. I haven't seen it yet, so I hope it really ran today or else I'll feel embarrassed! :) Has anyone seen it yet? {update: My bad, it's in the 4/24 paper.}
