I’m so sorry it’s been so long. It’s been a combination of laziness, busyness and drama.

I’ve moved one more time, this time into my own place with just the kids. I LOVE living on my own. This is the first time in my whole life I’ve had my own place and it’s wonderful. I’ve got a walk-in closet (!) and a fireplace in my new apartment!

Things did not work out with the roommate. Let’s just say that I do not have time in my life for toxic crazy people and leave it at that.

I have been crafting on and off (mostly off) for the past year and a half. Unfortunately I am terrible at remembering to take pictures. This leads me to one of my new years resolutions: take more pictures. Of the kids, the things I make, my friends and myself. I want to remember.

Another one of my resolutions is to be happy and to try to make other people happy. Sounds overly simple, maybe, but hear me out. When things are going good, I tend to stress about the next bad thing that might happen, which makes me unhappy. I’m going to try not to do that anymore. And I’m going to try and recognize when I am unhappy and take steps to eliminate what is making me unhappy. I don’t do that enough and it’s a good time to start.

I’ve got lots of pictures of what I’ve gotten done lately and will share those soon. I made a slipcover for my couch, which was a first for me. And so much Christmas knitting. And I started crocheting a gorgeous blanket I can’t wait to show you.

Wow, it’s been a while…

September 11, 2010

I am back into knitting big time, and I’ve started knitting shawls. Pretty, lacy shawls.
“Do you even wear shawls?” you might ask. No, no I don’t. But they’re ever so pretty and I appreciate the challenge. And guess what? I’ll be able to knit 2 beautiful shawls from only 3 skeins of knit picks gloss [...]

Crocheting my heart out

August 29, 2009

So I’ve been taking the bus to work almost everyday now for a while. And I have yarn and a crochet hook in my purse at all times. I do needlework for fun, but I also do it when I’m stressed. And these days I’m way stressed.
All of these facts come together to make my [...]
