As some may have noticed, I’ve pretty much been out of action the last few months. I have to apologize. My hermit/antisocial tendencies got out of hand. I let myself get burned out. My sewing table has laid dormant for months. My beautiful markers were neglected. I dropped off the face of the internet. This happens to me periodically, but I have to admit I’ve never had it last this long.

Anyways, it’s already a month and a half into the new year and it’s about time to crawl out of my hole. I’m slowly getting back into sewing and drawing. I recently made several (possibly ill-advised) fabric and art supply purchases so I have to start making something damnit!

And I’m updating my poor dusty blog. I  felt a bit guilty about attending a “blog party” when I haven’t updated my own blog in months. I think my blog functions almost entirely on a sense of guilt. (This is not to say I don’t enjoy my blog, just that guilt is a wonderful motivator.)

So look forward to real updates as soon as I figure out why my photos won’t upload. In the meantime if you’re local you can see me be a real person tonight at the Hocoblogs Party!

I’m not sure what happened to February.  I think someone stole it.  Or maybe it snuck off.  I’ve always thought of February as a sneaky month, what with the improper number of days and all.  Well I’m back on the ball now.  First on the list is a name change.  My original blog title wasn’t self-centered enough.  Actually I wanted to be able to encompass all my adventures, not just the “crafty” ones.  I kept feeling guilty that my travelogues were off topic.  So presto-name-chango, guilt away!  Now I can write about whatever trivial nonsense I want to!

Besides, I’m pretty sure I know all of my regular blog readers by name at this point, so nobody else will actually know the difference.

This isn’t a real post, but here’s what’s coming up soon:

• Another travelogue (I got to see the shuttle launch!)
• Growing things
• Adventures with a real photographer
