Yep. I'm still kicking around.

We've been keeping busy. I've got a bunch of half typed up blog posts sitting in my file. Partly to blame is the fact that it takes so flippin' long to launch my iPhoto and upload photos from the camera. For the most part however, everything is very much stewing within the cesspool of my brain. I think it's a combo-case of start - itis and indecisiveness. I know I'm not making much sense but let's just say that I've been toying with the idea of selling my crafts either on Etsy or have R build me a shop under a personal domain.

When I started teaching a few weeks ago, I was all fired up to teach crafting classes as well. I had awesome (to me) workshops and craft kits planned out. I put everything together (and had a whole ton of fun doing it) and then stalled. This is not surprising. Whenever I used to play "office" or "teacher" as a kid, I just liked setting everything up - I didn't actually spend much time playing the game. Anyways, the one major roadblock to all of this? I really hate marketing myself. Plus I weighed the teaching time against the personal crafting time and I thought: "Meh". There are other reasons as well, but for now I have my piano/theatre arts/craft studio shelved until another time.

So yeah, lots of waffling. Sell stuff online? Or teach workshops? Or both?

.... Or neither?

I'm still teaching piano though (grand roster of one student) and I'm really enjoying it. I've also fallen back in love with playing regularly again.... which is another something that has cut into my crafting and blogging time. The list of songs I want to learn and re-learn keeps growing every time I sit on the bench. I'm incredibly rusty and it's a bit painful to hear since I know how I used to be able to play the pieces... 10 years ago. Ouch. But it's still awesome.

There's been lots of knitting going on still and a bit of weaving. R and I have also had a few guests over too! So unusual for our normal hermit-like tendencies. Here's our favourite guy who came to visit over the long weekend.

It's amazing how one little man can exhaust four adults. Apparently, he's what people call an "altitude" baby. Pretty much, one of us had to be standing (absolutely NO sitting) around and dancing the entire weekend.

Yeah...that picture pretty much sums us up.

Anyways, lots on the list for the summer. It's going to be a good one!
