shifted world view

so to say that a lot has happened since my last real post would be a huge understatement. huge. let's see... I could just list the stuff that has happened, show the things I have made and move on, but that wouldn't get to the root of all that has changed. Do a lot of people follow me here, well, I might have had a following, but by not really posting for a year, I am sure people have moved on. So here goes... I will be trying to focus here a bit more. Why? Because I miss the writing. It helps me get ideas out of my head and lets me clarify my thoughts. I haven't even begun to tell you the readers about some of the things I ultimately planned to tell and I still want to say it, so... I'm back.

I won't be posting all of the crocheting and knitting from the past year because, well, there's a lot of that that was done and if you really want to see something and you are on Ravelry, check me out = hockeyrachel. I will start to show newly completed items and will link to them in my sidebar (I'm going to redesign shortly to have a listing) But, I will show you the newest finished object that is not knitting related other than he wears knits...

yep.... there's been an addition to the family... looking mighty fine in a good friend's handknit Baby Surprise Sweater designed by Elizabeth Zimmermann... Squiggly (his blog name, obviously not his real name) was born on June 26th. Our lives will never be the same. Smush (his big sister) has a love/hate relationship with him which we hope will become all love.

My biggest challenge is that I have a lot I want to say and so little time so I am going to publish smaller blurbs, more often and rather than ignoring my little ICAL reminder, I will embrace it and I hope to see you here.... the laundry chime just went and so I must change loads... enjoy the eye candy above....
