Been a Long Time and My Friends Want to Pound Me

Yep. I know. It's been months since I updated. My friends have been nagging me to post more on here, and I'm really going to try.

I lost a lot of confidence for a while with going through my divorce and I haven't been doing much as far as crafting is concerned. I've been doing a little bit of locker hooking, making friendship bracelets and making mission rosaries, but that's about it. Another thing, and this is really stupid, is I have a lot of anxiety about taking pictures and then posting them. I don't know why, but I feel like a Luddite about it.

I did finally start writing in my journal and tentatively have been writing a bit from prompts. That's kinda huge for me. I've always enjoyed writing, but lost it for a long time due to a certain ex-person and his disparagement of anything I did. But, I've started with baby steps again, and that helps. I'm also honoring the process of journaling and writing by using a fountain pen. I even got some very nice ink and a converter. In my head, writing with a fountain pen turns it into something special and meaningful, even if I'm just bitching in my journal. And nothing beats the feel of a fountain pen gliding over paper. My penmanship has vastly improved too, partly because of the fountain pen and partly because I've really been practicing with a book.

Oh, I signed up for Twitter. Have no real idea what I'm going to do with it, but hey, I've signed up for it anyway. My ID there is CroneMage.
