An Announcement, An Invitation...

hey Formally making the announcement that, once again, my blogging is evolving into a new phase. About a year ago, I stepped down from the hustle and bustle of craft blogging - you can read about that here. After three intense years of putting my all into the Craft, Interrupted blog, I wanted to get away from the stress of keeping to a chock full blog schedule, the pressure of keeping up with other craft blogs...and just focus more casually on things that I enjoyed.
but then... Our lives changed in a significant way when we decided to go for a trial run of homeschooling. I suddenly found myself in a very different realm, which left little time for blogging as much as I wanted to. I also came face to face with a difficult decision regarding the dream I had been focused on - I found it necessary to close my newly rebranded, redesigned, remarketed, re-everything'd etsy shop, very soon after I had totally relaunched it with a grand re-opening. Um...oh sorrrrry, but yeah, party's over. Champagne is gone (literally), and now I'm closing shop. Can't do those custom orders you wanted afterall. Fake out! *awkward* *face palm* *hiding in the closet*
onward ho In the past year, we've gone through an intense evolution as a family. Many times I've thought of blogging more about our journey, but then stopped because it wasn't a good fit for this space. I envisioned readers thinking the following - Wasn't this a CRAFT blog?? Where are the kids' parties? Where are the teacher gift printables? Why is she writing about this?? So I mostly posted things on instagram instead, but blogging has been such a part of me, that it felt disconnected.
that nagging feeling... has been tickling my being. It's time to move forward. It's time to embrace this new chapter. I get more and more questions about homeschooling and organization on my instagram feed. So I'm diving in - to a new blog, where homeschool posts can sit down and put their feet up. A new blog, where I can answer special needs questions, and rant about our recent switch to a gluten-free diet, and share links to all the curriculum resources that I'm loving. I feel it's where I need to be now.
closing a door, opening a window an official fond and tearful farewell to craftinterrupted.com. This domain will remain live till the .com comes up for renewal. Posts will be active as archive status, but I will no longer be posting new material here. All social media accounts that were previously linked to Craft, Interrupted have already been switched to the new blog. Except facebook, because I wasn't able to change the name on that one. The Craft, Interrupted fb page is still up, but I won't be adding new content to that either.
Hi, I'm Havenwood, nice to meetcha! I'm in the process of constructing the new blog, but I'd love it if you stopped by! I'm moving CURRENTLY, LISTEN UP, BOOKSHELF, and INSTAFRIDAY there, and will be adding posts on curriculum, school room space, schedule organization, special classes, etc., as well as page tabs as info hubs on special needs and gluten free eating.
