Have you caught onto my routine yet? Blog a while. Stop. Blog a while. Stop. Repeat.
Why do I do it? Why do I inevitably drop off the blogosphere from time to time? It's certainly not for lack of something to say. Actually, the opposite is much more likely -- I have so much to say that I just can't spit it out. So I just stop. For a while.
But I eventually return. As I am doing today.
So, what's been going on these last few weeks? Well, lots!
I cleaned out my closets . . .
. . . and attended my 20th college reunion.
(That's me, second from the left, acting silly!)
This week I've had a case of the stomach flu. Lucky for you there are no pictures of that to share!
I've also been doing a lot of volunteer work for the Crescent Hill Art & Music Festival that will take place in my neighborhood over the July 4 holiday weekend.
I guess I have been pretty busy. But as I'm writing this post, it occurs to me that I haven't created anything or really engaged in active creativity lately. Not good! But a good reminder to make time for the juicy stuff.
Hmm. What sorts of creativity will I get into next? I'm not sure, but seeing Ashley's quilts over at Film in the Fridge makes me want to learn to quilt!

I absolutely love that she puts thoughtful detail into the backs as well as the fronts. Bravo!
I may have to fire up my new sewing machine . . . .
I am glad you are back! You have been my inspiration to start trying to find my true calling as well!

Wow, Keith! That's quite a compliment. I'm glad you are seeking your calling. It's nice to have good company on this journey. I look forward to following your blog, too!
Keep up the good work!

So glad you are back blogging!! I have been wondering where you've been!
Let us know if you take on the quilt project… I have been working on making a quilt out of all of Ben's outgrown t-shirts… I have about 12 squares and a bin FULL of shirts… I can't ever seem to finish any project!
We may need you to blog about unfinished projects… why can't we finish them??

Blogging about unfinished projects is a wonderful idea ZoeAnn! I have so many unfinished projects I wouldn't know where to begin.
A gal from my alma mater, Transylvania U., started a company several years ago and they will turn your t-shirts into a quilt for you. Let me know if you'd like her info and I'll track it down for you. Of course, there's something to be said for creating your own, but if you decide you just want it finished, she's an option.
