I haven't been blogging lately. Not that anyone has noticed. I'm not very good at marketing myself so this blog goes pretty well unnoticed. I've been away for a variety of reasons.
My infant son has been kicking my ass! He's so demanding and spoiled already it's amazing I get anything done at all. My poor girls really miss their mama and it shows with the occasional misbehaviour. Especially my second daughter. Poor booby only had me for 20 months before bobo came along. Doesn't seem fair really.
My husband has been home nursing a wounded knee and is currently obsessed with 'free' on-line poker. He has one of those addictive personalities and gets hooked on things rather easily. I rarely spend time on the 'puter anymore. If i do it's to check my email and upload pics of the kiddies on facebook.
But perhaps the real reason I'm not blogging anymore is because I've found a new outlet for my creative expression. No, I haven't started scrapbooking again. I've been working on the same page now for months. It just sits there frozen in time awaiting completion. I've been making jewelry.
It started out as a project to make my own name bracelet that i saw advertised in the back of one of my parenting magazines. Every month I would see it and admire it. One day I actually looked up the price on-line and nearly choked. I figured I could make it myself. I would just learn how. Didn't seem all that difficult really.
Well, I'm still struggling with the bracelet. I can't seem to be able to make one that I actually want to wear. But now I'm making other bracelets and necklaces for my mother mainly. Someone actually liked a set I made for her and paid me to make her a set too! It seemed like a fluke. I'm just learning and I already had a paying customer.
So that's why I haven't been around lately. There's only so much free time I have available to feed my ego by blogging. By the way here's a pic of a necklace I made for me mum. She's getting it for Christmas so don't tell her!
