A year goes by quickly.

I honestly didn’t mean to just abandon this blog. A month or two maybe, but things got busy, very busy and this just was left, forgotten. Which makes me sad. At one point I had a large community on online friends here, and I really enjoyed that connection. I enjoyed getting to know you all and I enjoyed the opportunity to share my voice. For awhile I didn’t miss that, but now……might be time to return.

What have I been so busy doing? Well, not much knitting or sewing, that’s for sure, for various reasons. But what have I been up to then?

Working on my health. This mama hit a hard, hard wall and realized that I needed to grab my oxygen mask or we were going to implode. Accupuncture, kettlebells, walking, playing, sticking to a paleo/ancestral foods diet, meditation and prayer have all become a part of my routine. And sleep, lovely sleep. I had pushing that off much too long.

So here I sit, a year later. I have learned so much and I still have so much to learn. And I think I’d like to share that. What this blog will become it’s hard to say. There will still be knitting and sewing with the adventures of raising three boys, but I feel that there is so much more to me now that I can’t just stick with that. So we’ll see where this goes.

I do hope that at least a few of you kept me in your feed reader. If so, say hello and let me know you’re still around! You can also find me on Instagram as Knittymama1. I have been having fun over there!

In the meantime, enjoy this little peek at my 40th birthday gift to myself. Maybe I’ll post a full pick when I get the pizza stain of the other side….;-)
