I’ve been a little distracted lately

I’ve been very quiet lately, and although I’ve been busy, there really hasn’t been anything to write about in my blog.  I admit, I also just haven’t been in the mood to mess with my site, especially since I still need to work on other sections (and I still haven’t decided how I want to add them).  In late June, my husband Christopher went to a writers’ conference in Austin.  I went with him and enjoyed some time to myself, lounging around the hotel, reading in the lobby and by the pool.  An agent requested the full manuscript of Christopher’s novel.  He also got a call for a job interview, and was hired quickly.  I’ve been helping him out where I can, and adjusting to our new schedules.  My grandmother also passed away in July, so my thoughts have understandably been elsewhere.

It was nice having so much time with Christopher while he was unemployed.  It’s a shame how quickly time flies, but I look forward to the future — I know we’ll always have fun, and I’m so thankful things have worked out so perfectly during his layoff and with his new job.

I’m going to try to get things rolling smoothly again with all of my projects, not to mention this website.  I still have work to do on some of the site’s sections, as well as getting back to more regular blog entries.  I have also changed the way readers post my entries.  I went with the “summary” version, instead of the “full” version since the images won’t show up anyway unless you read the entry from my website.  Some of the blogs I follow have had various issues and changed to that format as well.  I don’t mind having to go to their blogs to read the rest of the entry, although I know some people prefer not having to do that.  It’s just what I’m going to try to work with for the moment with the way I have my settings.  I’m sure I will make other changes over time with some of the settings and options.

I still won’t post a blog entry too often (I don’t want to get burned out like I did on my old website with art), but I’m hoping to have a small update with one of my latest sewing projects either Thursday or Friday.  After that, I’ll try to space out entries to last so I can focus on sewing and other non-website related things.  Best wishes!
