I am alive and glad to be back!

Dear Readers...

I have been away for some time now, a whopping three months. I never anticipated having a blogging hiatus, but it ended up being that way. My computer still awaits repair, which takes a financial backseat while we wait for my husband to find a job. He graduated in May, and we continue to wait... patience. My family experienced a death in the family, the second this year from cancer. And, we moved into an apartment. So, the past few months have been filled with happenings. Good, bad, tragic, blessed.

I was debating whether or not to even return. My blog isn't one of the big ones and I doubt I would go missed. But, lately, I have found myself missing this place. I've found myself missing that creative outlet that was my "own." So, here I am, attempting to return. I doubt my projects will be weekly. But, I hope they will be frequent. And, if you like it here, I hope you stick around, because I love my blogging friends.

So, here's to the holidays! They're commmmmiiiiing! If you ask me, it's the best time to get-a-makin' stuff. Happy Autumn!

Emily

  3. Oh emily! Sometimes daily life requires bravery, so keep going!!!

    And just because you aren't "huge" in the blogging world doesn't mean you're not deeply enjoyed by those that DO love you (me!)... You got me so excited abiut crafting and sewing. Your owl teether was my first forray into real sewing. And it's not only my daughter's favorite toy, but I make them for all my friends and THEY live them.

    So know that there's a little sewer girl in St Louis who adores your blog and all you have to say. I'm rooting for you!!!
