Ah, yes. It isn’t exactly the wages of sin, but I was disconcerted to find how much the price of postage has gone up in the last few months. There is a post office near me but there always seems to be a line and all the parking along Shattuck is metered. Since I was headed out to El Sobrante this morning, I went to the post office there.
The service was fantastic, including several suggestions from the clerk as to ways to save a few dollars in the future. She was lovely, efficient, and caught my flipping of zip code numbers on one of the packages. That was fixed easily. Breathing a sigh of relief, that was one major project off my plate.
You see, one of the packages had been partly ready to go since January, and had been floating around in the back of the car where it had been intermittently buried by various bags & boxes. Two more had been on the floor of my craft room for more than a few weeks. The impetus behind today’s responsible behavior? The first of four Caribbean Mermaids by Nora Corbett.

I saw the series and really wanted to stitch them. But seriously, I already have more than enough already stitched to fill all the walls. But there is a lovely person in Florida who it would suit and we cut a deal. I did the first part. She will do the back stitching & beads. Plus framing it for her wall.
