I've been wanting to blog - lots of ideas and things to share! - but have instead focused my time recently on 1.
Veronica Mars and 2. building out my
hair accessories section in the shop. One of these things is less embarrassing than the other.
I can't sit still and not say anything at all about Japan, though.
These satellite photos from before and after the disaster (use the sliders to see) show just how horrifying the devastation is. (

I had wanted to participate in the relief effort through Etsy, by donating handmade pieces to a collaborative charity shop like the amazingly successful
HeartsForHaiti. I was involved in the intital discussion to launch a similar effort, but unfortunately Etsy administrators disallowed the collaboration and instead suggested we tag our items with the campaign name and donate our individual profits to charity. Well, in my case that would largely be a symbolic move as my sales are few and far between.
It's times like these that make me wish I were independently wealthy. But, I donated what I could straight to the Red Cross. For whatever reason, neither the Japan Red Cross or American Red Cross sites were working properly for me. So, I went through PayPal. If American readers would like to do the same, click below:
