What I have been doing is refilling my “creative reservoirs.” Here are some of the things that I have enjoyed recently.

Procrastination and Being Overwhelmed

Friday, December 19, 2008

I feel like I have sort of dropped off the face of the earth lately as I have been so overwhelmed by all the work I have to do. Next year I am going to get my handmade Christmas presents done months ahead of time because I will never be able to do this again! […]
