Sometimes I get on a roll and go with it, then the next thing I know I'm stressing out over it. I've cut waaaay back and am getting so much more done in the studio.<br />Something too that I've noticed is that I haven't had as many comments as I did a year ago...we all are so pushed for time. I don't always leave comments either even when I'd actually like to.<br /><br />Keep up the beautiful aprons and I look forward to reading your posts whenever you get the chance to write.Angie @ thejunkranch https://www.blogger.com/profile/16378799206313610380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-47333626321975597902010-05-18T15:54:47.598-04:002010-05-18T15:54:47.598-04:00Janet, you are so talented, and you're making ...Janet, you are so talented, and you're making a good decision....we'll all still be here for those times when you want to share something on here!

As for the rest, I'm right there with you. Many things have happened the last few weeks to make me realize I've had my priorities screwed up and it's time to get them back in order.

So, I understand and look forward to seeing your new creations!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470363688622542695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-15523193284431787492010-05-17T17:18:36.405-04:002010-05-17T17:18:36.405-04:00I completely understand!

I have a facebook fan page and try to say a little something every few days...but I forget. It's hard to spend time on the computer when I have a stack of fabric behind me calling my name! Oh the ideas...I was going to Twitter, even signed up...but thought it pointless! It takes too much time and I don't care. So best of luck to you on your new creations! Post some every now and then, okay?!

I almost decided last night to call it quits, so much going on in my life, so much pressure and the fact that I have NO TIME to post anything weighs on me. I want to blog more, but I just can't find the hours in the day. I am compromising for now by doing what little I can, but it's a rough patch for sure.
