I really don't know what happened to the last three weeks. My husband returned after 4 months away for work, and my kiddos started school. My big boy is now in kindergarten and my little guy is in preschool three mornings a week. I am still adjusting.
I have yet to use any of that alone time for sewing. I spend most of Monday and Wednesday mornings volunteering (and socializing, a combination which I find pretty vital for my week) and Fridays, I get most of my groceries and any other odds and ends errands. I think I don't really want to be here at home all alone. :-)
So when I am home, there's of course the laundry and the cleaning and cooking to keep me busy, so while I have more alone time this year, I'm not spending any more of it sewing and knitting during the day.
I have been sewing up a storm in the evenings and weekends, though, but I have more excuses! I have run into the limit of my free photos here, and the extra steps of uploading to a third party site and moving them over proves pretty annoying. Plus, my photo editing software died on me, so I need to fork out $80 (unlikely) or find a good free online one, I guess... or just take really great pictures straight from the camera (ha!)
If you're still reading this, thanks for coming around. :-) I'll be back just as soon as I figure this stuff out, and I have loads of projects for my various nieces ready to share!

Hmmm, that photo limit thing is... weird. I didn't even know that could happen. I hope you get it all figured out so you can get back to blogging.
Jen, I know some people delete old photos to stay under the limit. Otherwise you could use photobucket or flickr. Picasa is a good free photo editing software (at least I think there is still a free version) if you want to crop, adjust color, stuff like that. I'm in a complete schedule funk too with the start of school - and we've been back to school for a month now! Hopefully I'll get it together soon.
Pixelmator is a good, low-cost photo editor if you happen to be on a Mac. Otherwise, I know there are web-hosted photo editors these days too, so you don't have to install or buy a particular program. One of the reasons I've still got a Friends of Pattern Review account is that I can put my sewing photos there and link to them from my blog...
