Better late than never

The year 2011 has been around for ten days and I've just resumed blogging. There are many excuses I could offer to you (I'm crocheting a tablecloth, I have been working on the Sketchbook Project, I'm playing video games...), but nothing changes the fact that I don't always have the time to blog. So, my sincerest apologies for the lack of posts, but I'm back in action. Also, I believe that I kept last year's resolution: to blog. 

I posted all kinds of things in 2010 and many of them will continue this year—movie reviews, my BOM: Cupcake Challenge, Thursday Traffic, etc. Some items will return with more dedication like DIY projects. So, while it might be a late start, Newfoundjoye is still around.

After a long moment of nothingness, I plan on adding more about books to Newfoundrhapsody. I have a library of reading materials to share and dissect, so if you've wondered why it's never updated, you can actually see some posts in a few days.

Instead of Threadless in my sidebar, you can expect to see Society6. I like the way it works much better. You can purchase prints or clothes, so check out my studios if you have the time.

I look forward to posting more in 2011. Please, return for more.

Update | NewfoundRhapsody

So, if you recall, I had shut down my latest brainchild, NewfoundRhapsody, just last week. I rethought, reconsidered and re-purposed this blog for a different concept. I love illustration, but I wasn't motivated for NewfoundRhapsody at this time. Instead, I am going to rebuild NewfoundRhapsody as a way for me to share my writings. These aren't award-winning novels or anything, but I am proud of them and I am glad to let anyone read them (and lucky you, you get to read them for FREE). So, go ahead and add NewfoundRhapsody to your bookmarks. There will be some literary goodness for you in the days ahead.

Closing NewfoundRhapsody

Maybe it's just the week-long deadline or the fact that no one is really participating, but either way, I am closing down NewfoundRhapsody. I may open it some other time, but for now, I'm shutting it down. Instead, I may post some of my own images here for your viewing pleasure.

NewfoundRhapsody

I spoke earlier about my plans to create a blog similar to that of the Blue Sky Studios Challenge blog. Well, I have created a new blog! (pause for applause) NewfoundRhapsody will be the home of my very own illustration challenges. My themes will be based upon random words or user generated ideas. For more about NewfoundRhapsody and to be a part of the project, visit the blog. I look forward to your ideas and comments. The first theme kicks off on Monday, October 5th.
