A Year of Not Enough Crafting

This past year has been, relatively speaking, craft free. Sad to admit, but it's true. But let me tell you what I have managed to do this past year.

1. I graduated college with honors.
2. I wrote a thesis that I am proud of and am in the process of trying to get it published.
3. I moved into an apartment with a roommate and my boyfriend.
4. I worked with a historic collection and currated a show for select items that lasted for all of February.
5. I've also started a new blog.

I would say that these are fair excuses for not updating and crafting as much as I often do.  But that doesn't mean that crafting didn't catch up with me as soon as January rolled around.

Since the new year, I have been working on a  commission for a lovely 5 year old who wants clothes for her dolls: pink, purple, and "all kinds". Of course, having been 5 myself once, think back to my days of playing with dolls. A call to my mother produced all the scraps I needed, and some good laughter.

I've also taken up the habit of now making things for myself. Its rather pleasant. Currently, I'm knitting a blanket... What have I gotten myself into?

That, I think, will be the the next entry. An update on the commission and some pictures of the blanket.

Untill then, may your stitches be straight and may your thread never tangle
