I had another "blog" at some point. I just checked it today, and it had been more than a year since I had posted anything. I guess I just don't have that much to say. And - has anything really changed? I don't think so - but what I found is that old blog was a good way to keep up with things! I saw on there where I went to see the Lion King in 2007. It's nice to have a record of some things. So - if you're interested in visiting the old blog - go to www.whyislisadoingthis.blogspot.com - there might be some interesting reading... if you get back as far as my knee replacement in 2010 - be careful, there are some graphic pictures of a stapled together leg :-) But - that replacement was a miracle for me - it has been fantastic and has given me four years (so far) of pain-free living! Now - we'll just keep our fingers crossed for the other knee - I'm not quite ready to do that again. I know it's coming, but I'm happy to put it off for a while longer.
I have become a huge fan of knitting/crafting podcasts. Who knew that these things even existed???? I sure didn't! I found one - "Come Knit with Us" - and I binge-watched every episode (40 + of them) until I could catch up. I feel like these women are my friends now! And since then - I've got several more that I watch on a routine basis... All I can say is how inspiring they all are. Now all I want to do is knit... and craft... I have been knitting like crazy - dish rags, cowls, hats... it's all good. I am finding out about different and fun kinds of yarns. Spinning - I had no idea that it's as popular as it is. I don't know that I'm quite ready to jump into spinning - but I was never - NEVER - interested in that before.
So - are you a member of Ravelry? Wow - what a community for knitters and crocheters... there are patterns (free and for purchase), you can see what projects your friends are working on, you can queue items in your library - I am amazed. I have found a ton of items there that I'd love to do.
I guess I'll just start new here. My plan is to share my knitting/crocheting/scrapbooking/crafting ideas and projects with you. Come share with me - we'll have some fun!!!!
