Radio Silence

Sorry for the long silence...a lot has happened (not that I think anyone's even looking at this, I'd really be amazed). New baby (niece), lost babies (mine), new ones coming (littlest sister's). I am still coming to terms with the way that my pregnancy ended and I will write out my story once all the pieces are together. I have sewed, knit, spun, and gardened in the last several months and I am hoping to catch up and give a good show to whomever wants to check it out.
My most recent knitting project (which is in bind off mode as we speak? read? hmmm) is what I have termed my prayer/healing shawl. Pattern is Dane Shawl by Jane Tanner (Knit Jane Knit). I will edit this later and try to link properly to the pattern page for you.
So soon you will hear more from me and I hope to get some pictures up too.

A new baby!

My long awaited niece has finally made her appearance. Fashionably late of course...She was due on Saturday the 23rd, but just arrived today. Vera arrived at 7:35 pm Mountain time at 8 pounds, 20 1/2 inches and wrapped in the wonderful love of her proud yet exhausted parents and all of us extended family.

Welcome little Vera, I can't wait to meet you!

Love Auntie

New Hair! or lack thereof...

Here is my before picture. Long, auburn, curly, and almost all 1 length:


Here we are all brand new for a new decade! Six inches shorter and BANGS! I love it but it has taken some getting used to. It has been fun to have a few more options and access to a bit more variety.

Here's to a new brighter outlook for the new year.
