Well I’ve been procrastinating lately. I’ve been even downright avoiding my blog this week as I was stuck trying to figure out exactly what would or could be fitting for posting as my 500th post…and well as procrastination often does, it gets the best of you and now this morning as I finally sat down to write I found that 2 posts that I had postdated a while back had actually gone up and thus the 500th post went through without celebration. You know in someways that’s likely the best, I’m not much of a person for birthday parties or holiday celebrations. They can seem forced. And I guess in the end the 500th post might have been a forced attempt at something as well…but it should be noted that I’ve had a blast writing the blog over the last few years, and the main reason is because of everyone that reads it. I set out to write this blog as I was in need of a larger community of practitioners and like minded craft enthusiasts and that is precisely what I found. So thanks so much for reading, for sharing your amazing work with me, and for writing me such amazing emails. It’s been a pleasure to get to know you all. So I raise my glass (of tea…it’s early morning here) to the next 500 posts!

Cheers!
