After my little planning retreat this past weekend, I feel a little more on track with my knitting. I think that getting my head around what I want to accomplish in the next few months, as well as what my family is going to be doing is the main reason I needed that planning retreat. But, it had the added benefit of freeing up mind space so I could sit down and knit without feeling … [Read more...] about knitting and reading

knitting and reading
After talking a little bit last week about slowing down as well as the fear of missing out I realized that I have been putting my knitting on the back-burner for so long. Not so much my reading, I seem to be able to do that in any setting (thanks to the lovely kindle app, thank you very much).

They LOVED it. I actually read the entire series to the kids when they were babies. I have mentioned this before, but around the time Emma was 2 months old, I was bored out of my mind … [Read more...] about knitting and reading
