I realize I have been gone for about 4 months
Not that I was around much before that XD
I realize I don't have a big following, and I'm okay with that lol, and that I post so infrequently that you never know when I'll be around. I feel I at least owe it to you, my friends, to explain what's been going on.
I have not drawn a single thing in over 4 months. Nothing at all.
So here's what's been going on:
March 17th, St. Patrick's day- I had to put my 9yr old dog to sleep. She got very sick very, very quickly and there wasn't anything we could do that would make her better. I was not going to let her suffer even though it truly broke my heart.
March, sometime in the last week- found out we were moving and had 1 week to pack up and move. We got most of our things packed in 1 week and were able to finish the rest later. Finally completely moved out after a month. Due to complications were not able to put the house on the market for 3 months. Have been throwing money at a mortgage and a lease.
Business-If you didnt' know already I have my own business. And in the last couple of months it has become a bit more busy, which is awesome, but less time for art and crafties.
Personal- I have been fighting a downward spiral since I had to make the decision to put my dog to sleep. I didn't realize it at first. I always forget I have people to talk to all around. I let it build up and build up and eventually there is nowhere to go but down. But I was finally able to get a lot off my chest and changes (awesome amazing changes) are going to start being put into place. Will I be less busy? No way. Will I be happier? Very much yes.
Other stuff- I did pick up crocheting, because Lord knows I need another hobby... [sarcasm]. The part about crochet that is amazing is that I can relax and it helps me to wind down from the stress.
I make no promises but I'm hoping that as things settle down in the next month or two that I can start getting back into my artwork.

Hello? Is anyone out there? No? ...
Oh Hai! ... yes, I'm still alive. But Hey! I changed my username :) It's the name i've adopted for 'around the interwebs', I use it on Raverly (a fiber/knit/crochet community) and something similar on Instagram. I've been debating for a while if I should change it.
I know haven't been around much, or doing much in the way of art. I won't fill your heads with grandeur of me returning and doing art all the time and being around a lot because honestly... who knows. It might be another year before I post something; it might also be a week. Every so often I have the great i
Welcome to 2016
The New Year has arrived! And my life is finally starting to settle. Some of you may, or may not, vaguely remember that The last several years I was working a lot of hours at a job I didn't care for while either going to school or trying to run a business. 2015 brought the tides of change; and change things did! I applied for and was accepted into my dream job. I get to be a massage therapist working for someone else, doing therapeutic massage like I wanted to do. I don't have to worry about paperwork, or client recruitment or advertising. I come in when I'm scheduled and have a a fair amount of control over my schedule as well. This business
I still haven't gotten back into using dA as much as I used to... but I am on Instagram if anybody is interested!
Things I post about:

It is the best way to keep up to date on artwork and what have you.
I'll get back to dA eventually I'm sure. I'm just too busy right now to keep up with it.

You've told me many of the things, and it's certainly a lot to handle all at once, especially the unexpected. Don't forget, I'm on Skype - you can always chat to me to vent.
