Did you watch the Opening Ceremonies? I am sitting in front of the tv right now, waiting for them to start. I love the Olympics. So entertaining. And I hope the USA kicks some trash. No offense to any international readers I may have. I'm just a wee bit competitive.
Watching the Olympics always brings back memories. The Man of the House and I were heavily involved in the 2002 Winter Games, as they were here in Salt Lake City. The Man of the House actually shot fireworks for much of the Games and then for the Closing Ceremonies. I gt to attend the Closing Ceremonies, which was seriously AWESOME!.
We both worked for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints prior to the games, making costumes for the VERY large show that the Church put on during the Olympics. I had an all access pass to the tunnels underneath the Church complex in Salt Lake City. That was also, seriously awesome. Tons of fun.
Then, shortly after the Games ended, we got married. Also, awesome.
Sadly, these games in Vancouver are getting off to a bit of a tragic start. A Georgian Luge Runner was killed in a horrible accident this morning. My heart goes out to his family.
So, I have been busy the last couple of days trying to get stuff up in my etsy shop. I focus mostly on boutique style children's clothes, although there will be some adult fashions in there as well. There isn't much up yet, but there will be more soon. Check it out at lillyblythe.etsy.com
I am still planning to do my lovely wedding website, but I need to finance said endeavor and am hoping this etsy site will help me do that.
Don't know what etsy is? You should totally check it out. It is a shopping site for handmade and vintage items, so everything in my shop is handmade by me. Hope you like it!
Also, I finally finished knitting this gorgeous tunic for my darling daughter, The Small One. What do you think?

Okay, well, I think that is all for now. I will post again, soon. I hope so, anyway. I have some thoughts floating around in my head that I need to organize.

You're right . . . the tunic is gorgeous (as is The Small One). Thanks for writing and I will check out your etsy site. Keep up the good work. Love ya.
That tunic is amazing.
Yeah, the tunic is really cute. And Lilly looks so grown up with her braids. We did watch the opening ceremonies. Were you just going crazy when the torch didn't come up at the end? Just imagine the headset conversations. Lots. Of. Swearing.
Ha Marianne! We had the same thoughts! I was giggling to myself about the headset conversations! I knew exactly what was going on backstage. LOL!
I'm here, reading! Two of my sisters have etsy shops-- good luck! Randy HATES the Olympics and mostly due to the SLC ones. I like 'em but just don't have the time to get sucked in. Yeah, people shouldn't die lugeing...
