back in action!

Thursday, May 15, 2014

Ok, ok, so this new site design wasn’t ready by January. Who knew my new job as an adjunct would be so hectic? (Yeah, I’ve been teaching college.) Or Boy’s company would sap all of his time and energy? (Who wants to do work at home?) I’m not upset about it. A lot of life has happened over these few months.

But, what do ya’ll think?! (Let us take a moment to remember the old site, shall we?)

old site

Actually, I bet my lack of posting means this site has dropped off the radar for a lot of you. That’s understandable. I’ll just have to work on getting a new crowd to chat with. So, ner.

I have several posts waiting to be published, I just didn’t want to spam those of you who are still following me.

I also have to fix all my old posts, before the days when Boy had room on his servers for me. I was hosting everything through me.com and then they took that away so I was SOL. One day, I will retro-correct them (or re-blog them?). I cringe at looking back in my early crafting days, but they got me to where I am today, no?

Ta-ta for now!
