Starting back up! For real.

I have been terrible -- terrible! -- about keeping up on this blog. But I've decided that it's time to start again, if only for myself. So I'm revamping the format (New background! Different clicky-links! New things! Please explore!) and starting up a new system for myself. It will happen and I will find that it keeps me, in its own special way, centered and organized and happy.

At least that's the idea.

See, I was this close to starting up a new blog. This one has left me uninspired! What am I doing! A fresh leaf will make it all better!

But it won't. I've tried that before. And I really need to start over.

See, I've been under a lot of stress recently. I graduated and got my degree (yay!) and we moved out of our small town into the Ether of Uncertainty (boo!), where I'm still wandering around lost. My love has found and started her job, and it's going quite well, but I'm still feeling like I missed last night's reading and forgot my notebook and showed up to class naked.

I know something will click, and soon, but anxiety and panic descend when uncertainty abounds. And so having this to keep me focused on happy, healthy things, and to keep me accountable for doing more than moping about, might just be good for me.

See the pretty new title and format? Isn't it nice to start anew? The blog formerly known as "Queer Cupcake" is now simply "Thistle's Things." It won't really change all that much, except that I'll actually post stuff to it. Speaking of which! Remember how I used to try doing that days of the week things? I'm starting again, but this time with twice-weekly updates instead of something that's going to make me crazy. So, without further ado, I introduce to you...

This all means something, I promise. Tune in this week to see what! ;)

I'll try to post regularly. I'm going to try not to beat myself up over it, but it might also be a good way to collect my patterns and the crafty little things I do. Maybe I'll learn something. Every day will have a theme of some sort, and every day will be its own adventure. Won't you join me in it?
