My how time flies! I have had a post-it note on my counter to write my blog and just realized it has been three weeks! I have had to be out of town, twice, been to 8 soccer games for my son, more than half an hour away, and other things in my life have picked up in intensity. I was able to do a decent amount of beading in the car on all of these trips, but often didn't have internet access and so the blog fell by the wayside. Also, when progress is measured (literally) in rows, it is difficult to get excited about writing about how many more rows I've finished! If you are reading this and you know me, perhaps you are one of a handful of people who has shared with me that you read my blog, so while I haven't written in three weeks, I have been beading and talking about beading and blogging! Life is definitely like that. Having a habit of writing weekly keeps me on track, but when the rest of my life changes, the routines can get thrown to the wind, even when the intent behind them is still in my focus. My November entry deadline is fast approaching and it is clear I will not be finished on time. Now I need to decide if it is worth photographing my work in progress and trying to enter that with the intention that it will be complete in January (a real possibility). I have had some encouragement from colleagues to do that, so I am hoping I can screw up my courage and do it. We'll see!
