Where Have I Been?
It has been so long since I have last written anything, where have I been?
The world of being a new Mom has caught up with me and so I have been away for a while. Where my hobbies used to be doing artwork, knitting, crocheting, or tatting, it is now turned to potty training, baby talk, and the endless stack of baby bottles that need to be washed. But it is all a labor of love. Overtime hours at work have made me appreciate my time with the girls all the more.
Recently I have discovered Facebook and have had a ball reconnecting with some old friends that I haven’t seen in a long long time. My niece is studying abroad in Greece, and she posts about it on her blog. I have been enjoying reading about what she is up to. I have also reconnected with some friends on Ravelry and have learned that I’ve been declared “MIA”… and so I guess I better step up and get back in the game.
It’s TATTING Time! I always enjoy tatting for the holidays. I have a pattern rattling around in my head. For all this time I have been working and reworking it in my imagination, trying to get it right. I get out actual shuttles and test my pattern out and tweaked it a bit when I have time. The process is fun, but a bit frustrating. I want to get the pattern just right. So I am at the point right now where I am ready to write it out and give it a try.
The FUTURE. In a few weeks is Thanksgiving, and I’m cooking a bird. My niece Stephie is coming down from Michigan Tech and I am looking forward to seeing her. My article is due out the beginning of December. It is very exciting as it is fast approaching! And then of course, Christmas is going to be a very important time this year as it’s Kayla’s first, and Danica’s just this year figuring out how holidays work. I sure hope that I do get time to do some tatting or knitting, or something!
