Hmm...I guess I really did drop off the face of the (blog) earth

If anyone is still out there... :)

I've finally returned after a, what, year-long absence. But I've got a new direction, new energy, new spirit. And just like I wrote a year ago, I'd like to still write about knitting, but I'll be focusing also on my new interests, and possibly new career directions - writing, photography and cooking. Maybe with a sprinkling of fitness, too.

That's why I've renamed the blog and put a new look on it too. In fact, I may even move it away from Blogger, because like a lot of people, I've realized its limitations.

I have finally gotten to a place where I have things I'd like to do and a plan (!) Yay! I just spent last weekend in Nashville at a workshop getting my photography started:



developing some travel writing ideas for articles, especially those focused on food, cooking new recipes and of course trying to get knitting projects done. NOT casting on. And lastly, I'm trying to learn French and Spanish again.

All while trying to be a semi-great mom, wife and school psych.

It's great to be back!

Holy Cow!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

This was supposed to be a place where I could yak about my knitting and crocheting (really just knitting - I've only crocheted a few really pathetic projects.

But I'm still here...and I do have a lot to say. It's just been a real challenge to keep up with everything. One is having my mom move to a senior community last month. That was a challenge, but she has advancing Alzheimers, and that's kind of taken up a lot of time. Another thing is my day job - much more demanding than it's been in the first 4-5 months. I'm pretty much working full time, just because the kids need the help. And the teachers.

And finally, I have some plans for what's coming next. A new direction with this blog, like a promised a year ago (yikes, has it been that long??). Hopefully, I'll unveil that in a month or so.

Til then...
