I am still around. I mostly Instagram these days (find me @pynnm) but I&#8217;ve been missing the blog. You may have noticed that the theme has changed.

I have not felt like knitting in a long time, and I haven&#8217;t been doing much beading aside from brick-stitch seed bead earrings. Obviously this lack of interest in my creative pursuits does not cause very interesting blog fodder. Mostly I have just been reading and taking pictures with my phone. I have switched almost totally over to an e-reader and have been loving it!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, hopefully this is the start of some more regular posting&#8230; I did not spend several hours wading through code and installing new plug-ins to ignore my site for another year (probably).<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:30px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/august-2017-out-of-hibernation\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is anyone still reading this&#8230; Hello!
