Hi Blog!

Poor neglected blog. I’ve tried several times to write an interesting and entertaining blog post in the past 5 months, but nothing has been forthcoming. Even the annual end-of-year wrap-up and review post for 2010 was missed (Actually I started it and it’s still sitting cold and lonely in my list of drafts).

What I can tell you about 2010 was that it was a Big Year. I turned 40, my youngest started school and my oldest finished primary school. I started back work after 6 years and had surgery in the latter part of the year which made me feel older than my years. I lost 10kg and found 5 again, did a few months with a vegan diet which was wonderful, and now I wonder why I stopped.

From a crafting perspective I learned to weave, which I really enjoyed, and true to form I have short and passionate trysts with every couple of months. I also achieved all of my goals I set myself in my 2009 retrospective!

So far this year, socks are my current fixation. Just as well because my hand-made sock stash is starting to show signs of natural attrition and requires replenishment. So here is what I’ve been doing with myself for the past few months:

Of course there have been other things being made, but today it’s all about the socks.
