Hello Everyone!
To all the people who wrote and asked how I'm doing with the volcano erupting, it's been fine. Yesterday was the first day we got any ash in Anchorage and I've got dust masks.
Spring has not yet sprung here, but I spotted this raven looking very content the other day.

I also started a new blog, which is mostly going to be printable boxes and such, but I did post some brick stitched Jolly Roger earrings in it.
