Tis a new year….and I am already breaking my resolutions! Every year I make them with all the best intentions in the world…lose 5 pounds….ok 50 to be honest, craft more, blog more often and even stay in touch more with friends. And then, every year I start to break them right away….at least I am consistent right?
Okay, I've not broken all of them….yet. I stepped on the scale this morning, saw that I had gained 8 pounds over the past 6 weeks. Darn trip to Belgium…WAY too much good food there…then add in all of the holiday eating…well it's no wonder I went backwards on the weight loss! But at least I know where I am starting the year at and I know that I can lose those 8 pounds again…the other 42 might be more of a challenge…well….really the last 12 will be the challenge…lots of running in my future I think!
Blogging more…well this one is always my challenge. Best intentions in the world aside, I just don't have the time to spend on the computer once I am out of work these days. Okay…spend on the computer blogging that is. I spend plenty of time on facebook which is how I am trying to stay better in touch with more friends…I can cyber stalk everyone to my hearts content. What did we do before Facebook? Oh, that's right, letters and the age old process of gossiping…so did you hear about so-and-so?
Crafting you ask? That's right, this is a crafting blog! I continue to work on a doily I started in Belgium…talk about procrastination right? I actually am making progress on it though! Over the holidays I made up some knitted Korknisses (Christmas Ornaments made from Wine Corks) and crocheted Snowflakes although I never did find the time to block the snowflakes! I started finally the Star Afghan again for the Family Room in colors to match the couch. I am also in the process of starting to make lots more yarn food. Decided that I needed a collection for my house and that the boyfriend's niece will soon be old enough for her own collection of yarn food!
Pictures? Right…ummm…will see what I can take the next few days and find some time over the weekend to post them up!
Happy New Year to all of you!

I think my last post welcomed the summer months....so this one is welcoming fall and winter which I am sad to say is rapidly approaching!
Summer was so full of friends, family and that horrible four letter word called work which totally kicked my derriere this summer. My hours were insane and I practically lived up in Canada half of June and July. It has calmed down though which is a good thing!
I was able to work on some crafts this summer, did some beading, and then did some crocheting and knitting of yarn food for the youngest of the nieces. Been working recently on a Cake Box for my niece Megan – she looked through my pattern books, pulled this one out and dropped heavy hints that this is what she wanted for her birthday. Its not yet finished, but have a week to go so it will get done! Mike (the new significant other) has to work tonight most likely, so I will have the couch to myself and plenty of time on my hands!
The house is slowly getting into shape. Did do some smaller projects over the summer – got my office almost fully set up – need to get a chair for the desk as well as some additional light in there. I will try to take some pictures so we can compare the before I moved in and the after I moved in.
Work is calling my name – will be in touch soon!!
