Sneaking One In

Its far from my usual posting time, but my mind was wandering, so maybe if I get a little of it out then I can concentrate for another half hour before I head out.

Some day, many moons from now, when I have an extra free week I want to go back and read my blog.  Like from the very beginning.  Its a daunting task because I have been writing here since 2007.  June of 2007, apparently.  I want to look back at all my old projects, some of which I am sure i have forgotten about, read old comments and just see how it has all evolved. 

I didn't put any effort in to promoting my blog until last fall.  I was actually very inspired by Erin of Sunshine and Carousels and through her blog I found so many other wonderful blogs.  (See, I didn't read very many blogs before then either.  Just a knitting blog here or there and ones of people I knew in real life)  But then I found this whole amazing on-line community and I was inspired.  I'm still inspired, every day. 

So thats really all, I was just day dreaming about going back and reading my blog from the beginning.  Do you do that, go back and read your own old posts?  Or look at old pictures of things you have made and posted about? 

(p.s. - I am spoiled by the auto-spell check on my mac and forget to pay very close attention sometimes when I am not using it.  Hopefully there is nothing truly awfully misspelled.  Not that spelling bothers me nearly as much as your and you're.  Or they're and their.  I keep getting e-mails from this one person and they will say things like "your funny."  ::Cringe::)

That;s a good idea! I think it's always nice to see how much you improve at something over time.

I have been meaning for some time to sign in and print out my old myspace "journals". I started writing things on there in 2005 when life was super crazy and I was going through a nasty divorce and all. I want to get it off there and keep it because there are some poems, journals etc. that are a reflection of me from then and I have changed a lot since then. I also have an actual journal of David and I's time when we first started dating and he was living in OKC. I love finding it and reading it from time to time. I was so in love (I mean I still am but all that puppy love stuff) and its fun to read back on those times and feelings!

Rachel - Good lord, if I signed in to livejournal and tried to readread all of that it goes all the way back to 2000. There is just no way. And there is probably some angst in there.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
