Being a record of the creative outbursts of one Erin Woods: poet, dreamer, and initiate of children's publishing.

Nice to see you again!

Hello world,
It's been a while. I've been busy—blogging for work, learning to make book trailers (which is super fun), settling into a new rhythm of life. My sister has a new job in the east end, so she moved out that way and took her husband, her dog, and my adorable niece with her. I found my own place with my boyfriend. Lately I've been feeling the itch to get back to Twilight Tree, so to get my feet wet here is a recap of some of the things I've been up to since I was here last.

Made this quilt for a church auction



Made the new apartment "home"

Made my first Washi Dress!
 (I also made a second Washi for a bridesmaid dress. A lot of my friends have gotten married lately. It's like we're grownups or something).

Finished this quilt (and got awesome bedroom furniture)

Planted a garden in the BACK YARD!! No more 11th floor!
I've also been playing around with the stylized animal pictures I started doodling in the margins of my notes during university. I'm considering re-stocking my Etsy shop, but I'm also considering selling them more informally, maybe through this site. We'll see what happens.



Oh, I also completed the first draft of a novel. Yay! Revising is harder than I expected, but it's satisfying, too.

And I also became a Whovian. 
Yup. That's where all my time has gone since June.

That's my update! I'll pop in again soon with a post about... something. I don't know what. It's an adventure!

Love,
Erin
