I know that it’s been a while, over a month, actually, that I’ve posted anything.  Probably not surprisingly, I haven’t really been doing anything of note that would lead me to update this blog.  I’ve been ignoring my craft room for the vast majority of that time (outside of going down to get DVDs to watch randomly), gazing at it with a combination of feelings:

• Remember when I had motivation to make things?!?
• Gosh, that area really needs to be straightened up
• I wonder what I should work on next – I have a couple ideas, actually
• I need to figure out what I’m going to do with that fabric – will it be okay to use for a KitchenAid mixer cover with that fabric?  Or should I use it for a bag?  What about that gorgeous fabric that was given to me by colleagues in China?
• Oh, I really need to make one of those purses that was sent to me from China…

I am starting to get the itch to get back into my craft room, if only to put things away from the craziness of Christmas, and my wild attempt and success of creating a lunch pail/bag.

I really want to make one of the bags for which I was giving fabric and materials for from China.  I also really want to make a cover for my mixer.  Both of those things are on my list of projects for the year that I made way back at the beginning of January.

About a week after that list of projects was made, I made a list of projects that I was going to be attempting at work, and got a little overwhelmed.  And I ended up having longer days at work as a result.  Which left me to the weekend to relax and decompress before the upcoming week.  Got myself into quite a bit of a cycle there, and I hope that with the closure of a couple of those work projects, I can loosen up my schedule just a little bit more, allowing me more time at home after work on the weekdays to get house stuff done, and a little more fun time on the weekends.  🙂

I also have a couple ideas of recipes I want to try out, but I’ve been concentrating on getting myself out of the bad habits I picked up over the holidays.  Yes, it’s been two months, and yes, I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel there.

So there you have it – that’s where I’ve been.  I haven’t been ignoring this blog, I just haven’t had much to talk about.  But I’m coming back, I promise.  I might even put something together this weekend!

I just can’t guarantee it…  🙂
