Revival of the Blog!

Hello? Are you still out there? It's been awhile!
Where have I been!? 

I just celebrated One year at my full time job- I started working at my local county offices as a mail clerk. 
I can't believe I've been there a whole year already.  It's safe to say that my making has slowed down quite a bit. I try very hard to get into my studio at least one day per weekend. When I look back when I was deciding to go back to work outside the home, I said to myself- it's fine. I'll just make things in the evenings. 😂
Ha! Who was I kidding?? I eat dinner and if I slide into a horizontal position on the couch- I am fast asleep within minutes.  There been zero extra energy in the evenings- but you remember? When I worked at the Museum I worked on my jewelry AND my blog every day while working full time. Yea I was 18 years younger then. 

I also picked up another few hobbies. I'm still knitting...

And then I have been collecting, using fountain pens and pen palling since 2020-  which also lead to a really fun paper crafting hobby too. 
If you've followed me for any length of time you may know that I share a lot of jewelry and making on Facebook but I've come to a few realizations-
1. I'm over the fast  short form sharing on social media. 
2. I can't stand the direction FB seems to be going with all of its AI generated content. 
3. It triggers me. If I'm being honest. 

Am I leaving FB? I'm still deciding. I just have to see if I can get people over here to look for new stuff once a week. 
So if you're sick of social media and want to see more of what I'm making, what I'm experimenting with, and maybe even some occasional cross sharing of other hobbies, you can follow me on Blogger or BlogLovin'.

I'm sorry to have to turn on the word verification here, but I got fed up with spammers comments!
