I've not disappeared - just got pretty busy

OK, I had been posting rather regularly.But since January I've been working 50-60 hour weeks and this blog was just not an option. All sorts of other things got backed up as well - brushing the dogs, raking the leaves, cleaning house, putting away clothes.I got some house repairs done that had been waiting 10 years! But they're only partly finished as well. But it's not like there isn't plenty of stuff to read here in the meantime while I get my life back in order. I will get back to you soon. This past Christmas I took two of these series of posts and made them into hand-made artist books incorporating my artwork. I gave them to my brother who suggested this blog idea. I have one new short series ready to post and another longer one I'm working on. But if anyone has any questions or suggestions, send them in so I can have something else to write about! Happy spring time
