Wow its been a while since I've published anything on here. For that I'm sorry to all of you. Life has been hectic as of late. With all its wonderful ups and downs. Some of which I'm grateful for, others not so much. For those of you that follow me on facebook and Twitter I'm sure you all know that my very dear grandfather passed away last week. This was a shock to the whole family. It's something that we all knew was coming but never expected it to come so soon. I have taken comfort in thinking that he went the way he would have wanted to go. He had a great day with my grandmother whom he loved very much. He was a man that spent his life living it to the fullest. Always happy, joking and telling stories. It still hasn't completely sunk in that he's gone for me and I know its the same for some of my family members also. I know with time we all will come to terms with him being gone but at this moment, only a week after he has passed its still painful.
After a week of not having a single crafting vibe pass through me I'm finally starting to get my grove back. Sunday I made myself some cute stitch markers with some beads and wires I had laying around for my needles and started another baby blanket. Even tho I'm not really all that keen on making baby blankets its been a good therapeutic release. I'm hoping that I can build up a stock of ready to ship items so when I go back to work I'll still be able to keep my business afloat while working a job for the man. I haven't fully gotten back to my knitting the way that I normally enjoy it. Sitting all day turning a ball of yarn onto something beautiful that someone will love, but its getting there a little at a time and that's all I can hope for right now.
Along with the news of my grandfather passing last week kinda sucked big time since Thursday was my birthday and to say the least I was no where near the party celebrating mood. I guess that's part because of the news about my grandfather and part the fact that getting older really does loose that luster after a while. I'm going to do my best to keep this updated better from here on out and will soon post pictures of the baby blanket and other finished works I have.
Until then. Happy crafting.
