Tonia's Macrame: Been neglecting this blog

Years ago if someone told me that I should try to make money with a hobby that I was good at, I would tell them that I'd rather keep my hobby just as it is so I could enjoy it more. Somewhere along the way I forgot that, and I think this may be the reason why I keep jumping from one craft to another. When I found macramé, I was really excited by the many options I had with projects. This time, I'm not going to think about how much money I can make, but just enjoy the macramé for what it is.

I am a mother of beautiful son who will be 21 months on July 10
I am the wife of a wonderful man who accepts me for who I am.
I am a crafter, who believes that life without love or art isn't a life worth living.
I'm a cranky bitch that loves to have opinions on just about everything.
I am me. Just a woman. Just a person. Just someone that wakes in the morning, and sleeps at night.

Been neglecting this blog

Lately I've been overly stressed because of money problems in my family. Its been a very hard couple of months. I've even had to put my macrame projects on hold because I just can't afford the hemp anymore.

Because I had a friend that had a blog at livejournal.com I decieded to sign up there to check it out. This new blog is at http://www.livejournal.com/users/tonias_journey/ but is currently has restricted view. If you have a livejournal account and I know you just drop me a line, and I'll add you to the list.

So far I really like it because it has a better community set up then blogger. However, I miss the ease to change the blogger template. I'm still trying to figure out LiveJournal and I'm not willing to pay for the ease of changing the template.

The only thing I've really been doing lately is creating graphics as you can see below.

Its doesn't cost anything to do graphics! LOL

Well, i just wanted to drop a note just incase someone came across here wondering what happened to me.

Blessings to all!

Hey, I was checking my referrals and I saw that you linked me back in March. Hi!

Now I have guilt that my macrame gallery isn't even up right now. O.o

I should get on that.

Hi everyone, yeah, things have been a little crazy for me.
I'm gonna try and come around a little more often.

I miss all of your blogs! Sometimes those Live Journal blogs can seem unreal!
