Yesterday was great. Before I left, there was a box in the mail! I saved it till I got home and it was such a surprise! A loot bag from Giao! I had sent her something a while ago and never expected to get anything. I love surprises, and I needed new stationary for mailing! Perfect!
Thank-you Giao, I needed a happy surprise like this. I love the rubber stamps too, Oh and I also needed new sticky notes! You must be psychic.
;)

Today I haven't been able to shake off this feeling of gloom. Nothing serious really, just a mood. I did get these magnets I ordered though. They fit in the back of buttons instead of pins! I had expected they would have a sticky back, but they just stay in by being magnets. I may glue them so they feel more secure.

And because you can see a bit of it in the magnet picture, here is a picture of the skirt I have on today.

I love this fabric, I found it thrifting a few years ago and made it into a simple skirt. Same pattern as the stripey one I posted may2. My archives from may backwards are totally screwed up or I would link to it.

Jan mentioned that my blog is loading funny in Safari. Is anyone else having that problem? I use Safari and it is ok. Oh the mysteries of the internet. I am also noticing typepad blogs are loading very slow these days. Maybe that is my connection.

have a look:

Tania, this is what you need to do to fix the appearance of your archives:

Within your Typepad account go to Weblog > Design and click Republish Weblog.

I've been noticing a slowdown with the Typepad sites too. Especially when I view sites off my Mac.

Love the goodies from Giao and the skirt fabric is wonderful! Did you have any left to make anything else?

I use safari and it seems to be okay. I had problems with my premalinks looking wonky and republishing my site seemed to do the trick. :)

oohh! nice goodies.... would you mind sharing where the magnets come from? i've been buying them from michaels which can't be the most efficient method!

Tania, yay! I love your skirt fabric. So swimming pool. I am sorry to hear you have the glums. I think that's to be expected with moving brothers and striking work conditions...I'm glad the very (VERY!) belated stash of little goodies took you by surprise. Goodies seem more fun when you have no idea they're coming. =) Take good care!

that goodie bag rocks! i'm with giao, it's so much more fun when you don't expect goodies :) i'm so jealous of your fabric finds, the skirt looks fab!

[Anja]

I use Safari and I've never had problems with your site... I have OS X Panther, maybe it's a Tiger problem??

I hope the lockout will be over soon, the worst thing is not knowing when things will be back to normal. Enjoy your weekend!

very nice goodies!

it's still looking wonky on my safari v 125.11 but when i open to leave a comment it fixes itself - all so very strange - but if no one else is having issues, then maybe you don't have to worry about it. with all the other stuff going on for you right now - maybe it's the least of your concerns. hope things start looking up soon!

i love the skirt! it IS wonky in my safari too, perfect in explorer, but safari covers over your right hand side of your post, a lot. i hope you're feeling better today:)

[tania]

wierd!!
i have safari 2, so maybe thats the deal...

thanks for keeping me posted though, and i am sorry its wonky on your end!
;)
