I've been quite the lazy blogger lately. I think there's been a few things holding me back--- adjusting to our new life in New Mexico, and trying to wiggle out of the creative rut I've been in.I realize that the now limited supply of Gocco materials out there (as well as the jump in prices and almost-near hysteria) is slowly forcing me to find a new craft. This makes me really sad, and I think a bit "stuck." While I've been experimenting with papercutting and more projects involving found and recycled paper and will share more soon, I really am mourning Gocco . . . a bit prematurely, I know. But it makes me so sad that it will soon go the way of the Polaroid.
I've also been fighting off a massive bout of homesickness. This is the loveliest time of year in New England, the time I drive from Boston to Vermont with the windows open, to go apple picking with my grandmother and enjoy all the fried-food goodness at the state fair. Albuquerque is beautiful, but I feel seasonally out-of-sorts. I'm anxiously awaiting the balloon fiesta, which will become our new tradition here!

Try going to Silver City in a few weeks - they've got great fall color down there.
i'm sorry to hear that you are feeling homesick. it can be so hard to get in a new groove. i know i'm having a hard time! but i'm thinking about you! you are definitely not alone :)
If it makes you feel any better, tonight we're weathering Hannah- not so pretty.
I think that the seasons changing is what I like most about this area, though. I can see why you'd miss it.
