Falling behind...

The past few months I've struggled with keeping my blog current. Between geocaching and hiking (and quilting), there's not been much extra time. I've enjoyed getting out of the house more, especially now that the weather is turning and we're heading into winter. Still, I've missed the time spent editing photographs, and writing. Hopefully I'll catch up in the next couple of days, because we've been to some pretty cool places lately.

And hopefully I'll find some balance again, with time for all the things I love.

They say we should have a dry and cold winter. I don't know about you, but my fingers are crossed for snow!

Balance...

I've had a lot of trouble keeping up with my blog this year, as you've probably noticed. It's not that we've traveled a lot, or spent a lot of time away from home. No, I blame it on the growing stack of tiny quilt tops in my basement sewing room.

A goal to clear out my scrap bins started it all last January, and led to a couple of dozen quilt kits ready to sew together, which led to more scraps. Which led to other fabric crafts like quilted coasters and pin cushions and table runners and wall hangings, which led to embroidery, and stuffed animals.

I haven't been so creative for many years, which is a good feeling. But I feel just a bit guilty about writing my blog in spurts instead of daily, and hope that in 2017 I'll be able to find some balance.
