Ch-ch-ch-changes.

In the interest of actually updating my blog from time to time, I have decided to move away from being a craft-specific blog to become more of a lifestyle/things I'm in to at the moment blog. Hopefully it will still be pretty craft heavy.

I recently purchased a new camera (the last one was terrible and would only take decent closeups, and only sometimes), so photos should be improving. Some other things to look forward to:
  • Europe trip - next month I'll be touring Geneva, Tuscany and London. I expect to see lots of great art and craftsmanship. Photos should abound.
  • Virtual tour of my live/work space - having filed my tax return I can now clear away the pile of paperwork which has been taking over my work table since the medical bills started piling up last fall. The plan is to "spring clean" my whole room situation so as to photograph it.
  • Knitting projects - I have a particularly exciting and time consuming one coming up just as soon as I finish this scarf...
  • Sewing projects - I have a couple of dresses to make and a couple friends who need sewing lessons. Two birds, one stone.
  • Metal work - shoot, I gotta get back in to it! I'd do an entry on "how to do metal work in a totally unsafe and unsuitable environment" only the answer seems to be "don't".
  • Glass - I have some ideas and techniques I'd like to mess around with.
  • Garden - I'm likely taking over stewardship of our garden this year. We will see how that goes.

If the above reads like a to-do list, that's probably because it is that.
