I've started writing so many times, but maybe this time I'll get to the end?
Remember when I told you I was alive? Well I might have exaggerated a bit. I'm slowly starting to breathe again, though. Dancing all night long had something to do with it, as does my amazing new room with a fireplace, a guest bed, a separate sewing desk, and this:
A corner just for all my fabrics and yarns and tools and what-nots! Insert a happy dance and a lot of squealing here.
Having some renewed energy for craft helps as well. I've been knitting therapeutically for a full year now, and honestly, stopping is not a good idea. I find myself living for feelings of accomplishment, provided by things like this bag:
It's for my evil stepmother. There is lining and a pocket!
There might be more where that came from, if I can get over the curse of several identical items - this yarn came from a cardigan I just completely lost interest for because I had just made one like it. It doesn't happen often that I frog projects, but there you go.
Having the most marvelous little cat has also made life very bearable. tutam makes him look all classy and fine here:
I have a horrid case of kitten fever and honestly, no reason why I shouldn't give in to the urge. I'm sort of just waiting for fate to throw one in my lap. It even has a name already.
Bubbling under: I opened my dissertation files briefly today, cookies so are a lunch, and it's kind of counterproductive if I make myself another cup of tea every time I go downstairs to take a leak.
