How many can claim a fifteen-year old blog? Happy anniversary to this little corner of the web where I\u2019ve documented all the arts and crafts I\u2019ve obsessed about since 2006. Even with that strong blogging habit, at some point over the past year I slowed down on blog posts and increased Instagram posts. Instagram is easy and popular, and it\u2019s all too easy to forget about writing. Recently, I decided I missed keeping up this ancient blog and it needed an update\u2014and perhaps Instagram needs to go away. Long story short, you cannot control reels on your feed, and I found many objectionable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here\u2019s an update on the ol\u2019 blog. I\u2019ve not been as artsy lately, but I\u2019ve still managed several sketchbook sketches\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
