I know, I'm a shameful blogger. A brief blogging hiatus became an extended vacation from all social aspects of the Internet. During my NaNoWriMo month in November, I rediscovered the enjoyment of applying free time to things that I loved. I wrote, I read, I had a blast with my two guys. Most of all - I KNIT! Jeff has been gently pushing me to take pictures of my knits. I'll get around to it sometime. I can't get enough of my knitting, leaving me two hands short of being able to knit and blog at the same time.
Of course life isn't ever all peaches and cream, but I'm doing my best to enjoy the goodies all around me. I'm grateful to Jeff for sometimes giving me a little nudge when I forget about the great things in life.
As far as NaNoWriMo goes - I WON! Ok, so everyone wins that writes 50k words, but I was included in that group! I wrote the first draft of a novel that will still require an incredible amount of work before ever seeing the light of day. I was giddy to get it done in a month, but am taking a much needed break from my characters. I think of them and their story often, but I am not quite ready to jump back into their world again. Our time will come, though.
There are so many other happenings, but I can't say that I'm prepared to catch my blog up on every little detail. It's just too much for a likely scant audience. A lot happens in just a few months - especially over the holidays. I'll just say that Harper is wonderful, healthy, and is (of course) the best part of... well... the best part of everything! He is happy, goofy, a handful, and one heck of a dancer. And of course, as long as the little dude is good, so am I.

P.S. OMG I can't believe I finally updated/resurrected my blog!
Glad to see the update. Thats cool about your writing. I've just learned how to crochet and use a knitting loom so I've been doing a ton of that too. We'll have so many scarves and hats at our house we won't know what to do with them all.
ReplyDeleteThat's great about your knitting and crocheting! Be sure to check out ravelry.com, you can find a ton of free patterns on there. I LOVE that site. I've done a little bit of loom knitting, but have found regular knitting to be faster now that I've gotten it down. I crochet here and there since Carol showed me the basics, but knitting has been my preference.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts... the yarn! Man, I could shop for yarn for hours! Check out knitpicks.com. They have nice yarns without the outrageous price of luxury or botique yarns. Of course I'm all about the acrylic cheap skeins too, but knitpicks is a nice treat if I am looking for a better quality result.
we've missed you - welcome back (like I've been really into blogging lately -ha ha ha ha ha)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do post pictures of all you're knitting. You are SO talented! Pictures of Harper would be great too!
