We Need a Revival!

This poor, poor blog has gone neglected for way too long, as had my crafting. Let's face it, life gets in the way and mine really got in the way. I hadn't really touched any crafts or needlework until just a bit ago, so I'll finally have something to post about again.

Cross stitch has gone to the wayside. It's not that I don't love making those precise little X's, but between my eyesight and my offspring not liking the "blocky" look to the finished design, there's really no reason to continue down that path. I'll keep a few things and a couple of kits to work on, but I'll be liquidating my cross stitch stash. I wonder if there are people out there who still stitch. Almost everyone I know has moved on to other hobbies.

I'm now a member of The Knitting Guild Association (TKGA) and am taking the Basics course to prepare for the Master Knitter's course. It is a lot more in depth than I had expected and I'm very pleased about that. I'm enjoying it and learning a lot. I've also found a local Guild here, so I will be attending my first meeting next month.

I've also been learning a bit about paper crafting, painting, drawing, and playing with inks and dies. I'm having a lot of fun with that as well. I've dug some crochet back out and have dusted off the sewing machine. I'm just having fun trying out new things and exploring the old and taking them to a new level. Life is full of excitement and things to do/try. I hope you will join in my journey and share your trials and triumphs with me as well!
