new year

Posted on | January 5, 2012 | 11 Comments

Returning from a long blog absence … what do you say?  The absence wasn’t intentional and nothing was wrong.  Just busy, as we all are, and the blog was one of those things it took awhile to get around to.

Fall colors are gone, but were incredible.  We managed several backpacking trips before holiday craziness descended.  I hope to get back to the woods soon – there’s nothing like the woods in winter – grey, quiet and cold.

The boy turned 16 on Tuesday, which is incredible to me.  Was it really that long ago that he arrived – almost three weeks early and in time to attend the baby shower in his honor?

I have a lot of plans for 2012, knitting and otherwise.  I’ve completed several projects, some aren’t keepers but some are, and I need to photograph and blog, document my time, my efforts.  I intend to finish up languishing projects – keep working on myself and my health and be more mindful when I start new projects.  I intend to be more social, reconnect with old friends and nourish relationships.

Thank you for coming along and making the journey worthwhile!

    Happy New Year!

    I’ve missed you. I’m so glad you were out having a good time. Someone should be. ;^)

    How can he be 16?! How did that happen?

    Hello, friend! I’m happy to see you here, and I’m glad the end of 2011 treated you well. A sixteen year old son in the house? Yowza! Although, he seems like he’s got a good head on your shoulders, from what I’ve seen. Looking forward to seeing you more often, too!

    Good to see you in this space again! Ah, how easy it is to get away from regular blogging…and hard hard it is to come back! I hope you do because you’ve been missed. Happy new year to you and your family and I look forward to seeing what you get into in 2012!

    So good to see you again. I agree with Rachel – it’s so easy to get away from blogging and coming back can be a struggle. I often feel as though there is so much that I should have talked about and that I wanted to share but am now more interested in other things and don’t know quite how to introduce them. I”m looking foward to seeing what you’ve been up to!
