Did you add tomato paste?

Perhaps I don't give Lou enough credit for paying attention to the things I do. Tonight for dinner I made some pasta and tweaked the rest of a jar sauce we had, adding tomato paste, some diced tomatoes, fresh garlic and other various spices. While eating, out of nowhere he says to me "Did you add tomato paste?". To which my response was a stunned look on my face, followed by a "How do you know what tomato paste is??". I'm not entirely sure where he acquired this food knowledge, but it was surprising nonetheless.

Speaking of surprises..a few days ago one of my necklaces made it to the front page of Etsy! If it wasn't for my friend Yesenia, I never would have seen it either. She emailed me a screenshot of it while I was at work. What amazing timing she has, to have happened to be on the front page of Etsy and noticed a piece of my jewelry. The front page changes every half hour or so, so if that's not awesome timing on her part, then I don't know what is. And double yay, the necklace sold before the front page changed!

You can see it on the bottom right. The one with the mushroom and lil deer.

Front page what what!

Guess who was on the front page of Etsy today? This girl! I'm pretty sure I've never been on the front page in all the history of my Etsyness so this is a spectacular event. Three people sent me convos to let me know and SugarToppers was even nice enough to send me a screenshot! Double awesome! I'm a little disappointed I was at work all day and missed it. I would have loved to see it in all of it's realness. I recognize a lot of the other sellers that are on the front page with me and they all have awesome stuff as well so I'm glad I was grouped with them.

In case you didn't quite know...my item is the purple cookie-topped Lil Dumpin on the bottom left.



What a nice surprise to come home to on a typically dreary Monday.
