I would say that I can't believe that 11 months have passed since I posted, but I can. My birthday feels like a lifetime ago, in mostly good ways. This past year has been full of blessings, including a weeklong trip to Paris and countless memories with the Shrinky Pinks, as well as a few struggles, including the deaths of two family members.
I am so thrilled to be in my thirties, and to be knitting, and to have seen so much- here's to nine more years of the same.
My blog is (probably...but not definitively) dead. Long live the blog.
It was nice to see you pop up in my reader though!!
Sorry about the loss of your family members, that is never nice, even when it's a blessing from their perspective.

It was a nice surprise to see you in my feeder!
I'm sorry to hear about your family members. That's so tough.
Glad you're hanging in there though; I miss reading you and making do with your Ravelry project titles. ; )

Nice to see that you are doing alright, though I can sympathize with bad thrown in along with the good.
That picture of the Eiffel Tower is stunning.
