Just Catching Up Redux

 Hello Dear Readers, 

It is my biennial update :)! 

I live in Portland now and there have been lots of other changes, as well. I actually got the itch to start posting on here again today because this is where my hospital selfies live, and I took a nice one last night/this morning. 


My chest really hurt but it was just a pulled muscle from yard work๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿ™€

I got admitted to the hospital overnight and that hasn't happened in ages, while there have been periods of time during which I've stayed in hospital  rooms for weeks. It spooked me. I used to use this blog as a diversion from pain and sickness a couple times in the past and so I want to start it up again.

We'll see! It's hard to do be consistent.


In the meantime, I just wanted to put a couple links back up, though they are the same ones from last entry.


This is my etsy shop:

I'm really into making doll clothing and paper flowers now and some of them are on here.

Just Catching Up!

 Hello Readers,

Wow, I sure have let a lot of time passed since writing for this blog, which I love as a forum for mostly autobiographical poetry and essays. At least I have been working on some other projects so I am not kicking myself for being lazy.

Here are a few links:

Those are my most recent endeavors. 

Now that I've shared that, here are some pictures of the many crafts and time-consuming crafty projects I've been distracting myself with since the pandemic started.


Here is my corner of time and space travel, featuring vintage tourism postcards from around the world.





Here are some bracelets, before and after.







   


Here are a couple of my friends' dogs in sweaters I made.



Christmas stockings


& some painted Tito's Vodka bottles



And last but not least, festive garland made from spirograph art.




Stay safe readers, and strong.


xoxo,

Robin
