Long time, no see?
I've been horrible about keeping up with my emails, but on top of that, I got hit with the worst cold/flu/cold (yep, it when through those phases so far... I hope the second cold is the end of it!) that I've had in ages - and one that everyone here in Wisconsin seems to have. Not cool.
But, I've been busy none the less. GeekKon was awesome this year, I loved the hotel (even if the Internet situation sucked) and loved the layout of the vendor/AA room, the hotel itself, the video game room --- it was all just awesome! I cannot wait to be back next year!
So, leading up to GeekKon, I was making more and more Steampunk jewelry to sell, and the few things that didn't sell at the convention are now up on my Etsy shop, if anyone is interested (with more to come, too!)
Other than that, I've been busy remodeling the other half of my sewing room. See, a few years ago we redid half of the basement to become my workspace, to be more light and bright and easier to work in. Well, in a matter of a few years, I've outgrown the space (so much so that I'm still looking for a retail location, but that's becoming a little more difficult as it's getting harder to get loans now...) and it was becoming horribly cramped.
What we did, then, is my mother graciously re-arranged her half of the basement, to give me another chunk of it for my cutting table and more fabric storage. She's moved around her work benches (she does a huge amount of home remodeling and building big things, so she has space for all of that in the basement and a good chunk of the garage, too~) to give me more room to work in.
Now, we finished building more cabinetry (thank goodness for Target and their cube storage thingers - they're life savers, because I could actually put them together with only minor injuries!) and have to start unpacking bins and bins of fabric and reorganizing it, but I have a lot more room!
The down side? Until everything is all done, I'm even more tight on space than I was before. Hoping to get it all finished soon, though! I'll post pictures instead of just rambling at you all shortly - I don't know if I have any "before" pictures that do it justice, but I'll see ;P
So, the point of this ramble? Not much, actually. Just that I have been busy, sick and now, busy and sick.
Oh, and I've found I really enjoy writing, when I have a good spot of inspiration. Go figure - the one art I thought I'd never be able to do, and I find myself enjoying it. I'm kind of afraid of what could be next - maybe Sam acting???!!! At this rate, it just might happen... :O

Sorry to hear you've been sick, but yay that you're on the mend!!
Ugh...home renos...They seem like a good idea until you're knee deep in them, and then you look around and find yourself wishing you'd never started (until it's all done, then you smile and are happy! ~_^)
Good luck with everything, Lovely. <3
