Shop Indie on Cyber Monday 2013

If you asked me what "indie" means 1.5 years ago, I would not know.  So many thing changed for me during that time.  I used to think that if you have a hobby, than that's all that is, a hobby.  It wasn't until late in 2012 that I realized my hobby can be my business - my indie business, Twisted Thread and Hook.  I found awesome communities that support indie and handmade businesses.  We believe in the same values, we support each other, we believe in each other.  I can truthfully say, I discover a totally new world and I love it!

Will you be shopping indie and handmade this holiday season?  I know I will.

Get Inspired - Sea Me Blue



Can you tell I really want to go on vacation? My summer vacation to Bermuda is getting closer and closer! If you're stuck in an office like me, here's what you can do when nobody is looking...

Sit down and get comfortable... close your eyes...
(wait, read this first, and then try to remember what this says, and then do it)
Forget the deadlines.. forget the email you have to answer... picture blue... hmm... so many shades.. sea blue.. sea...
I can see the movement, the waves... the waves gently stretching onto the sand... You can feel the warmth of the sun on your face.. Shhhhh... Shhhh...

The seagulls are squawking in the distance... Shhhh.. Shhhh... The warm water is reaching your feet...
One of the seagulls is getting closer, carried by the warm wind.. Shhhh... Shhhh... It's getting closer and closer... "What? What do you want?" you say to the seagull as it squeals loudly in your ear and pokes you hard with its beak on the shoulder.
Yep, that's really your boss shaking your arm and asking you to come and see him in his office.
On second thought, don't do this at work. I'm considering marking this post "not appropriate for viewing while at work".
