I began this blog on October 3, 2014, as a way to stay active after retiring from teaching. I wanted to keep my crafting and my writing chops well-practiced, and I was knew my strength wasn’t in first-time-perfect craftsmanship. Instead, I hoped to share my creative journey by describing both the successes, the workarounds, and the oh-too-many failures. I’ve certainly enjoyed the process and have fulfilled my goal.

Now, however, I find that the blog has become just one more obligation. My days are full of other creative pursuits, and I’ve decided to give crapsmanship.com an easy demise — quick and painless. And so I say goodbye. Thank you for taking the time to visit my modest attempts at crafting and writing.

Bye!
