why the blog?

about three years ago i picked up and left houston with a car full of animals and art supplies.  i was burned out on teaching and thought i would try my hand at doing, instead of goading others into doing.  i spent a couple of years as the editor of a small town newspaper, met my dream man, got married in vegas, had two baby boys, and here i am.

i know there are a bazillion blogs out there, and i hesitated about starting one of my own.  i kind of stuttered, starting and abandoning blogs on a variety of blog sites, much like the stack of empty or mostly empty blank books on my shelf.

with the start of the new year, i felt like i really needed to focus on the changing the things in my life i had some control over.  one of those things is the connections i make with other people.  i spend a lot of time here in my small town, bemoaning the fact that i don’t have any friends.  well, maybe i don’t fit in here, but there is a whole world out there that is accessible through my trusty mac, and i am determined to find connections where i can!

    Hey, Phrogmom! I’m so excited to have run across your blog! You wouldn’t believe this but I have a seven year-old named Milo and a nearly 2 year-old named Augie! We cloth diaper and I knit! I can’t wait to read your blog a bit but I should have left for the grocery store an hour ago. lol

    My little guys are red-heads, too.

    You can check out my very much neglected blog here: http://smileypomegranate.blogspot.com/

      Wow!! How did you find us? I did visit your blog and the blankets are beautiful. I like to think it is a year out of date because the shop took off and the way more than three orders a week have kept you too too busy :) . Looking forward to hearing more about your Milo and augie!!

    Ok…that’s an old web site. I spent ages building a new one and then have been too tired to post to it! I’ve just got to say I *love* that sock monster slug (or whatever it is – it looks like a slug). Do you sell those, or the patterns? I spent about a month last year crocheting sock monkey hats for my family.

    Did the whole cloth diapering thing…still knitting. Youngest kid is 8 now, and smelly :-)
