I picked up crocheting again this summer: I have a project I started in early 2000 and put aside a month or two later that I am finally going to finish off. And because I set up an account on Ravelry a while back, when I went there to see if anyone else was using that old pattern (yes), I fell down a rabbithole or two of crochet patterns and found several that look like fun, so I’ve got one of those in progress, too. (Did you know there are some REALLY AMAZING complex-looking textured doilies out there?? There are!)

I also dug out a sewing project I started in a class 8 or 9 years ago and got almost finished with and then . . . Well.

It’s still not done, but it’s closer to done than it was a month ago! I’ll get there! It’s just that I have never sewed anything like this and I’ve gotten to a part of the pattern I’m nervous about so I’m procrastinating, besides which there are other exciting things to do, like crocheting and the internet and pretty much everything else.

And I put the Etsy store back up, hoping maybe this time around I can sell this stuff and no longer have it in boxes, and then remembered that I’d done some digital art once upon a time, and maybe I should post about that some, too, and one thing lead to another and I set up a Threadless store which also has a new design in it, because suddenly I had more ideas, and I am now in a rush to get more of them made.

The crocheting is probably going to get abandoned again until I get some of digital art urges under control. That’s ok, the shawl’s been waiting almost 20 years it can wait another week to get edged and blocked and etc.
