Breathless

(tap tap tap…is this thing on?)

So…apparently I have a web site – the best kind of unexpected and wonderful surprise! I feel entirely invigorated to post but also completely tongue-tied and fairly certain no one  is going to be reading it!  Well, I know two people who will read it.

Wait, three.

So suddenly I have so much to do…pictures to take and upload…a new format to figure out.

And then…then I need to think of what I want to say.  I recently went back and re-read the blog from the beginning – if you’ve never done this with your own blog, its an interesting experience.   Reflecting back I would say that I see some stuff that was very much “in process” for me emotionally.  Some I am still dealing with, other things are no longer an issue.  It was a nice reminder and a chance to see how far I’ve come.

Where did I go?  Nowhere really.  I would say two things happened.  First, the US economy tanked and took the Canadian one with it.  This coincided with my language training and the combination of the two spelled the death of my etsy shop.  I haven’t quite nailed down the lid of the coffin but will have to decide at some point whether or not to pull the plug.  The sheer explosion of indie dyers is daunting, but that was there before and I was doing fine.  Still…in some ways I want to leave it to those who have more time and dedication than I do.  But I also really really miss it.

The quiet demise of the etsy shop had a  negative impact on the blog as a lot of my inspiration for writing was coming out of working with fibre.  As my head quieted down, there seemed to be less and less to say.  I think I went into a “quiet” period that was actually quite peaceful, but not very entertaining for others.

So I am here – and I’ve kept up with the blogs out there although rather quietly.  I’m going to take my time updating projects – even my ravelry project page is far behind!

Please stay tuned for more!

P.S. Thanks J – I needed a push.
