A Break From Blogging

Hello friends!

Well, I need a little break again for a couple of reasons: I am trying to move this operation to a shiny new self-hosted site. 

Blogger, you have served me well, I will bid a fond adieu when the time comes. 

While I have been laboring at making the changes I will need, I lost my Google juice, i.e. my higher standing with the search engines, and some of my regular readership dropped off too, so hits are at a low ebb. Plus, this place has been run down ever since my template was lost. Bah. 
I don't know what I am doing building a website, so it is slow and time consuming. I have less time to work on networking or making fabulous things to share with you. With that in mind, it seems like a good moment to take a little hiatus from writing to do some coding and get my feet under me. 

The second reason I need a break is also a huge bonus: I have tried to do several tutorials lately and I just don’t have enough light in this hobbit hole to take good clear pictures most days. The tutorials have flopped hard. Also, I have been using a lot of old, irrelevant photos from other houses, much like I am today, just because I can't seem to get pretty images right now. That is about to change, my friends! 

By the time I am ready to get back to work my family should be installed in a nice, bright, hilltop house overlooking downtown Wilmington, and I will have a studio again. There will be plenty of light for pictures, and inspiration around every corner- or so I imagine. 

We can still keep in touch through Facebook and Pinterest. You can bet that with more time behind the computer and less at the craft table I am going to have more online goodies to share.
