A bit of de-lurking

:: needle felting ::
It's no secret, I have been a terrible blogger as of late. Perhaps it needs a bit of explanation and maybe even a little de-lurking on my part.

The story goes something like this...
I'm in one of those in between stages where you either have so much on your plate you're entirely too much overwhelmed, or you have nothing to do and don't know where to begin. Right now I'm on the overwhelmed side of things. I just finished up grad school in December and spend a lot of my time job hunting. I also intern and teaching art classes/workshops to kids over at the local museum. And I'm planning summer sewing camps/projects over at a local sewing store. I'm spending so much of my time researching and lesson planning and doing other 'stuff', that I just can't seem to multi-task anything else. So my grand plan for a blog and to get my etsy shop set up have really gone by the way side (plus, this is a daunting task. i'm not even telling people about the blog right now, for fear of it not being up to par.)

Needless to say, I do seem to keep up with reading my favorite blogs and continue to lurk behind the scenes. Maybe just by admitting this I'll be forced to keep in better touch. Either way, that is what's going on around here. But as a small treat to myself, I did begin to learn some needle felting last night. I'm amazed out how simple it is. And the outcome is spectacular every time! Why did I not try this sooner!
