living in fantasy land

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

So I keep holding off blogging until I have time to take a photo - or better yet until I have something worth photographing. But um, I might never blog about craft again.

Right now my left foot is one kind of fantasy land and the right foot in another. A year ago Grace was just a dream and not even in my wildest dreams were things as perfect as they now are. A year ago I was actually knitting like mad instead of merely fantasising about projects. And obviously I wouldn’t go back to that place for anything. But it would be nice if one day these two fantasy lands some how came together. Imagine - a baby AND some craft. That’s just greedy.

But it has to come together eventually, right? The question is where to start. All the things I want to knit, or matching quilts for when the girls eventually move into the same room? In the mean time I am slowly working on a sock, at a rate of about an inch a month. 4 inches of sock progress just doesn’t seem worth a photo.

I was just wondering about you the other day, Jo! I’m so glad to hear you are happy and well. Perhaps it won’t be so long until we hear from you again?

Glad to hear from you again. You know having small children, you just have to make time for yourself, whether it is pampering or crafting or just time out. Hope your crafting time improves.

Yay, you’re back! A friend of mine in Melbourne had her second daughter around the same time as you did; she now adores every mother with more than one child ;-)
