'Tis the season!
As I was working yesterday, I happened upon an idea..... a Christmas tree made of homemade ornaments! And because I have an excess of floss for cross-stitching.....
My M.O. is to start a kind of project/craft/hobby and...never...see them through... or do one or two small things and that's it. I've got loads of materials left. But not this time! I don't want a six foot tree, just something cute and small. We've got two cats and if they're going to knock over a tree I don't want it to be: really tall, or filled with fragile ornaments. This one is going to have a little Santa holding a sign that says Merry Welcome! To continue with this idea, I'll probably complete a few Christmas/Santa themed ornaments, and then perhaps ornaments with designs that are significant for Alex and myself!
Ideas for personalized ornaments:
- cats
- guitar
- computer
- pizza
- sushi
- glasses
- concert tickets
- train
- fourth of july/fireworks
- beer can (generic ipa)
- more???
Notetaking
Good afternoon!
I'm mostly taking notes for myself, in case I misplace the notebook I started writing in....
blog sections:
- fiction junction (for short stories)
- lifestyle (need to come up with a better name; but posts as the name implies)
- gastronomique (food & drink posts)
- audiologue (music posts)
- other?
I don't want to spread myself thin, so to speak, in terms of blog posts....mostly because I want to actually come back to this and give it 100% and if I try to do too many things with it, I'm afraid I won't stay committed to actually posting..... but if you have any ideas for post categories/labels I should add, please let me know! I think commenting is still enabled on here.... I think...
First post of 2020!
It's been two years! And honestly, activity probably won't pick back up on here until the beginning of the new year....
But I just wanted to make a quick post saying I'll be reviving this blog! The first thing I want to point out is I've gone ahead and secured my custom domain name. There's so much content on this blog, a little over 13 years to be precise! And I'm not the most technologically adapted person, so rather than try to figure out how to migrate all of this content elsewhere, I just went ahead and purchased the domain name because, again, 13 years.
I'm probably going to spend some time fine tuning how I want my page to look, phasing out the old photos in the sidebar with photos I own, and some stylistic changes.... I also want to play around with the tools offered to me through Google Domains...
I know 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year, and honestly, I don't think Mr. Bones is ready to let us off this ride.
