Bonjour bonjour!

It snowed here yesterday.
I’m back.
With a creak and a moan in my cold bones.
The poppies seem to have whiskers enough to keep their greening and growing.
I on the other hand am cursing this faffity weather. 
I’ve got weather whiplash.

Little Mac came home to me this afternoon with a hard drive wiped clean and a bunch of updated programs that I do not understand.  Humph.  No wonder I feel standoffish.

There’s more than the weather though.  My friend Kristen said it best when she mentioned that she was witnessing growing pains with The Noisy Plume.  I don’t know whether I should succumb to the sale of my entire soul or just keep parting it out, piece by piece, to you wonderful ladies who guard it so safely.
I’m getting too big for my britches.  What does that even mean anyway?
I DON’T KNOW.
A teaser sneak peak of the goodness I’ll be putting in the Etsy shop tomorrow!  Plenty of mookaite, turquoise, chalcedony, fossilized coral, chrysoprase and imperial jasper…among other things.
Jeepers.
I feel a bit dorky.
I’ve been told I’m a bit dorky.
But today I’m actually feeling like a giant dorkazoid.

I wrote my third and almost final art history exam this morning.  I made a set of celebratory cinnamon buns and bread since I’ve only got to memorize 50 more works or art, artist names and dates of completion before the end of May.  I surely do wish you could all make an appearance for fresh cinnamon buns (or rolls as the Americans like to call them).  They are perched on top of the counter across the kitchen from me.  Still warm.

RW and I are going to get too plump and then I’ll be even more-too-big-for-my-britches.
Why don’t you all live a little closer to me?
Huh?

  1. Yay! Glad you, your computer, and new creations are back! Growth during the never-ending winter can be tough, but hang in and spring/summer will be here soon enough. Those rolls look yummy!

    Those rings look delicious as well!

    I wait with baited breathe for tomorrow’s update — my fingers ache for some plummage!

    Also — you were greatly missed by myself and the rest of the blogosphere…

    … now who’s a dork :$ haah.

  4. Updated programs! Goodness I wish! Mine so needs an update overhaul.

    Those rings those rings. There is one in particular that I am smitten with. Can you guess which one?!

    Oh…what a PLEASANT surprise that U R back!!! Tis good news…and…so, I am READY for tomorrow's Etsy extravaganza (oh lucky me it's a day off) ! I've been exercising my fingers ( the a-JILL-ity test…pretty cute, eh?) and bracing my toes…got my strategy set in place & I'm ready to rock…mineral form that is…with the best of the NoisyPlume gang!!! 🙂
    PS: darn…better save me one of those cinnamon buns!!!
    LOve You, LOve your WOrk!

  7. If I pay the shipping, can I order a custom dozen of buns?

  8. thewindhover says

    Oh Mrs Plume – I’d happily eat some of those cinnamon buns (as we would call them here!), and I would happily have some of those beauutiful rings; I love the blue turquoise so much. Glad to see your little mac back safe and sound.

  9. my fingers are itching for a ring. along with half the women in this nation. i don’t care. one of these days i’m going to be queen of the ring mountain, even if only for the 14 seconds it takes for me to snatch one and pay for it.

    we are all allowed our grandiose delusions, are we not?

    (on a serious note, i’m growing with you. always beside you. in my estimation your pants always fit just right. and if that changes, i’m here to do up the hems. my stitches aren’t always straight, but they’re done with deepest love.)

  10. Nancy*McKay says

    OOOOhhh, by the way…”she” is lovely…her prose…scrumptious…wanting more…

  11. The Noisy Plume: says

    …I know she is.
    She’s my yang.

  12. Sunny Rising Leather says

    Ah, Jillian….

    I am farther north now… does that count as closer?
    Closing in on the one month mark before I see your life!!

    I am glad you are back and also glad you got to look into other things besides Mac screens for a few days.

    I think it’s safe to say we are all addicted to these boxes???
