Sorry for the extended absence.
2009 was not a good year for me in many ways. I've noticed that it wasn't particularly good for finished craft projects, either. I think I've frogged projects more times that I ever have. As I look at my WIPs on Ravelry, I've only almost completed one in the past year (I've still got ends to weave in). My Macbook sleeve felted poorly, but I haven't tried to make it better yet. I've got a felted bag that needs to felt and sew the handles on. Other than that, I'm not close to finishing anything. Even the Christmas stockings I was making for Marcus and myself didn't get finished in time - they'll have to hang on the mantle next year.
I didn't work on any other crafts, either. I've got lots of projects in many different mediums underway, I just could't seem to work on any of them. Even my web design (for this and my other site) has slipped. My dissatisfaction with my job has been a major culprit. I've also let myself get addicted to the Internet again, so I spend way too much time on Ravelry, Twitter and Facebook that could better be used crafting. Then there was my Animal Crossing City Folk addiction on the Wii that lasted for many months.
I'm starting to snap out of the funk I've been in for so very long and the creative juices are starting to flow. I'm hoping that I'll have many completed crafty items to show off in the coming year. Also, I finally want to get a decent design put together for this site.
