alteredzed July 1st again. How has it been a full year since I last posted? I suck at this journal thing.
The last year wasn't the most difficult ever (toss up between 2003 and 2013) but it was up there. Death, illness, weather, car issues and the inevitable death of my much abused and very elderly netbook all contributed to my lack of, hmmmm, say inspiration for writing and posting.
Does not mean I didn't read. I did, a lot. Kept up as much as possible within my technological constraints. Managed to read most of the challenges posted to Rough Trade in the last year (I now have many more fics. in my list of works to watch for). And the July challenge authors have started posting, so more to look forward to. So much talent on there, so much!
This also means I've been doing a lot of knitting (I knit while I read, thank goodness for fanfic and blogs, that would never work with paperbacks). I must have knit 1/2 dozen or so garments to finishing stage. And there they sit. As usual (see title of this blog ;D). However, I have managed to finish some things, about a dozen cotton dish cloths (easy, no attention needed knitting) and I've been on a bit of a sock kick. I'm just about finished pair #7 and am about 1/2 way through the second sock of pair #8 (my travel project).
Also, I've finally got my studio to sorted out to the point I can work in there. Nearly 2 years after moving in, but hey, better late than never, right? Right? Eh, I need an eyeroll emoji for myself. So now I can do some sewing. And I need to. I've been voluntold for a 2nd job (didn't apply, didn't really want but can't actually turn down more $$) and my wardrobe, especially my summer wardrobe, is not really up to a job that requires me to meet with the public (being in a job where no one would care if I showed up in pj's is nice, but there are drawbacks). Makes me wish I'd actually participated in Me Made May these last few years instead of just thinking about it. Probably would have inspired me to keep my wardrobe updated, at least a bit. Next year, I promise!
In the mean time, guess I should figure out the whole adding pictures thing on this site. I, so far, have only managed to add pictures that I've uploaded to my account here. I tried Imgur but didn't have much luck there. Probably just me. I really am a technodolt. Considering that, I'm afraid I don't have photos of dish cloths, socks or (semi) tidy studios to share. Maybe next time.
And let us hope it won't be a whole year before I post again.
