Adios Google
Today I am going through all the blogs I have in my reader and transferring my favorites that have been posting regularly over into my Wordpress reader. If you are still using blogger and have not checked into Wordpress I highly suggest you do, it is so much more attractive and easier to use (and has many FREE templates). And in case you didn't know, Google Reader is going away! Maybe it is just me (but probably not) I find all the different Google menus and pages and stuff just so confusing, unattractive and hard to use.
So if you want to follow my new blog come on over! I post about my shop and the projects I am working on as well as garden stuff (more of this now that spring is here) and things I like etc...

I will be deactivating this blog in a couple days.

Holiday 2012
I have gone back to working outside the home and will not have the time to dedicate to editing photos and creating the ornaments. I do plan on offering a selection of my felt ornaments so if that interests you then have a look in the shop to see what is available.
Thank you!

Turning Over a New Leaf
I have been thinking about starting a new blog for quite a while now and because of this I have not posted much on my old blogger blogs this year, both my “LowellandSon” blog and “TheTinyGarden” blog. I have finally decided to take the leap and just change everything! I am changing the name of my shop on Etsy from LowellandSon to TheTinyGarden to reflect more of myself and my passions, crafting and gardening. My son Vaughan, who was with me at the beginning when I opened my Etsy shop, has been less interested in crafting the last couple years and more interested in video games and playing his trumpet, so I am on my own.
Over the next couple weeks I will be changing everything over to the new name, my Etsy shop, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and of course my blog. I may go back through my posts on both blogs and re-post some things that new readers might be interested in plus I will be posting about lots of new stuff. I definitely like this new WordPress format way more than Blogger, and I hope my postings and frequency will reflect that.
I hope those of you that follow this blog will make the leap to the new one, I would hate to lose any of you and I promise that you and the new blog will get much more attention.
My NEW home is here: http://thetinygarden.wordpress.com/
Cheers!

Things Are Happening!
Exciting stuff going on with Lowell and Son. I have been adding lots to my shop over the last couple days. Here are a few examples.
Pom Pom Garlands
Quilts
Pom Poms
READY to SHIP Christmas Ornaments
and…Glass Ball Photo ornaments are BACK!
Other news is that I am planning on changing my shop name soon. This will not effect my actual shop other than the name change but I will be starting a NEW blog on Wordpress that will combine both my Lowell and Son blog along with my “The Tiny Garden” garden blog here on blogger. I will announce this later once everything is set up. I will also be running a contest with a chance to win your own glass ball photo ornament FREE. NEWS will be coming soon. I hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!

Sweet Kitties – Some Valentine Love
Christmas has past and I don’t know about you, but my kitty didn’t get anything from Santa in her stocking. I don’t know where the time went, I guess Santa was too busy making things for other people. My old kitty (sweet 16) was quite fortunate in 2011 however, so I think she will forgive me. She has had Hyperthyroid and kidney function problems for almost two years now. I give her medicine twice a week and feed her special food. In October she developed breathing problems. After a visit to the vet and a couple to the kitty emergency room they figured out that she had a severe urinary tract infection. After treating her with the proper medication she recovered quite quickly and began eating and drinking again and recovered her strength. I have to say that was a very scary time and I am even more sensitive to any unusual behavior in my kitty. I definitely treasure everyday I have with her.
Limited quantities of stripe fabric from 2011
available as fortune cookies only
This year we are offering Valentine Kitty toys again. If you like the prints we have this year be sure and pick up a set or two as they usually don’t make it to the next one. More varieties will be available, check back soon.
