So what's up with Anna...

Hello my dears,

I wanted to make a quick note apologizing for being so absent for the last two months.

I have been having a really hard spring. I found out recently that one of my kidneys just noped-the-hell out and stopped working out of the blue. The other is limping along and I have been incredibly tired as a result. Within days of learning about that, my very best friend and constant companion of 12 years, Butters-Dog, passed away.

This one-two punch has left me pretty much shell-shocked and I spend a lot of my day napping between doctors appointments and tests to try and find the culprit behind the kidney.

It has been hard to be alone up in my studio without Butters. In the last 12 years that I had the privilege of being his person, I worked from home each day with him by my side. Where I went, he went, on nearly every errand and trip out of town. I am completely lost without him and trying to learn how to be alone again (Mr. Depew is awesome but gone at work all day).

Thank you for your patience while I try to figure out how to be Mrs. Depew again without my trusty companion by my side.

July's goodies are still going to be on time next month, don't worry :)

love,

Anna
