Ok, so now that's out of the way, what has happened in the last two months? Well, I met up with Connor in Japan. He had a two week business trip there. I flew to meet him at the end of it and we spent almost another two weeks touring around.
My favorite part of the trip was meeting the bowing deer of Nara
I spent a lot of time painting the sights. This is Kinkaku-ji, the temple in Kyoto that is covered in gold.
Once we came back from the trip, Connor and I joined a comic drawing group that meets up once a week. I found out they do a yearly anthology. When we joined, there were five weeks until the deadline. I decided to draw an 8 page, fully watercolored comic. In retrospect, that was a little nuts. It's taken a lot of energy, but I'm pleased with how it looks.
Just one of many pigeon jokes in my comic
I'm still knitting here and there. Connor has introduced me to Battlestar Galactica. (The new one.) I've found it to be a pretty good show to knit to.

I've given myself permission to stop blogging regularly as well. It's hard because that was something I did and was committed to for so long that I felt a lot of guilt in giving it up. But you have to prioritize what's important for you to do each day; everything takes time and time is limited, so we cannot do everything.
Maybe you should turn it around and give yourself permission not to blog more than once a month, with no minimum set ;) Your other creative outlets are just as precious and deserve time too ( I love that pigeon drawing )
