back online

so its been a while since we’ve updated… well, anything.  but i just joined a blogging group in the hopes that it would get me to stay on top of a blog, which has been my intention since last year… err… the end of ’07/beginning of ’08.  so the main rules for the group are that i need to post a minimum of 1x a week, and check in on group members’ blogs 1x a week, and participate in challenges when they are made.  i think i can do that, no?  and by no, i mean YES.  haha. 

i also have to give a disclaimer… this is more of a business blog than a personal one… the site and blog are supposed to link to our online store + etsy (both of which are on hold for the time being) but seeing that the business end is on hold, the personal one will take over for a bit.  business is coming back though!!  the short story is that we have had some family problems and i have had to step up as mother, maid, cook, nurse and whatever else was required of me.  i have long suffered from depression and motivation is something i struggle with almost daily but i have had to motivate myself to care for the house, my family, and my dad who suffers from parkinsons.  so business has taken a back seat.  we’re still doing some local shows and expos but i haven’t been able to find as much time for crafting and for keeping up with trends and orders.  and instead of doing a half-assed job, i decided (with J’s support!) that i would just take a break from it all and get back to it when i have time to commit to it 110%.

so i will transition slowly as i find time to work the business end back into my everyday… but for now its just me

ttyl,
