Yarn Along

Joining Ginny for Yarn Along this week! It has been awhile.
Knitting: Shawl for my mother in law and itching to start knitting a hat with this handspun yarn!
Reading: Bloggy blog blogs and some occasional gardening books... oh wait! I forgot I borrowed this book from Dwija. So a little of that too.

A (not so) new Idea

So I have been thinking a lot about blogging (or whether I even should blog at all) lately. See, I want to blog but I have this pressure (from the voices in my head, naturally, because nobody else is saying these things to me) to make it.... I don't know. Readable I suppose. Like, for other people to read. But, the thing is, I don't really care if other people read it or not so why (WHY?) am I putting pressure on myself and worrying that what I put here won't be up to par? So, after months of ruminating about this in my head I have decided that, henceforth, this here little blog shall be my own personal journal. For my pleasure only. Yay! Now I am excited about doing this again! So, since I can now do whatever I want (as opposed to doing whatever the voices in my head tell me), here are some pictures of stuff. Some of it may be recent, probably most of it will not be but who cares? Not me!
