Welcoming myself back...

I haven't managed to keep my blogging going for a while - ever since Geocities shut down back in 2010, as a matter of fact! I used to find keeping my blog simultaneously cathartic and self-flagellating, so we will see how this one goes. I've started it mainly to keep all my art stuff together - the things I'm making for my courses, the things I'm creating as part of GeekyKnits, the things I'm coming up with to decorate my classroom and artspace at home.

So hello, to both you - whoever you are, reading from afar - and me.

Allow me to introduce myself. My latest online alias is WhiteKhocolate after I married the Khocolateman earlier this year. We live with our dog, Dalek, and about a hundred dust bunnies in places I can't vacuum. I teach in an alternative learning environment in suburbia, and I have dabbled in a number of different artistic mediums over the last few years. Right now I'm doing Introduction to Art through Penn State University's MOOC platform, and am enrolled to do a number of other courses over the next six months. I'm also studying for my Diploma of the alternative learning environment I teach in (yes, I am a fully qualified, certified, registered teacher by the state of Victoria, just adding another feather to my cap, just in case you were wondering).

So, let's hear it for being determined. From Tuesday (after the long weekend) I am going to be going a little bit crazy and revamping my life to be more creative, disciplined and FUN!
