It's the Same Old Song and Dance

I fail at keeping up on these blogs. The few of you that do still follow know how awful I am about this.  I do still post on the Facebook page and Instagram.

We've had a lot of hits to my family and close friends recently.  It's not been fun.  Add in my oldest's mental health issues, and I've been a mess. (I AM getting help for my own mental health as well, no worries!)

My work space is still a mess with yarn and beads, books and random paper crafts.  I also have yarn and sewing projects all over the living room as well.  The dishes are piled up again in the sink and the laundry is in baskets or still in the dryer waiting to be sorted, folded, and put away.

At least there aren't an abundance of soda cans or bottles littering my desk. (Unlike my husband's, and he has the larger trash can by his!)

I have been thinking about combining my writing blog and crafting blog.  Of course, I've also been thinking about splitting the crafting social media accounts as well.  I have the two Etsy shops, and therefore two different emails, shouldn't I have separate Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts as well?  What's your opinion?  Merge all of the accounts again or separate them all further?  Or leave them as is?  I'm also posting the occasional PawPaw's Bear, as my dad is able to whip them out. (He works extremely long hours and is a Deacon at their church, has eight grandkids, and all of my mom's shenanigans!)  He's asked me to do the posting for them though, since he is even more internet/business illiterate than I am.  Should I make him his own page too?

I also still need to get with a few of my photographer friends to get new and professional product photos for my pieces as well as the bears.  This costs money, though. (I can't ask them "for a favor" unless they contact me about it first.  We all rely on our products for our incomes and supporting our families.)
