In love with... Dear photograph

This blog {Dear Photograph} has such a lovely collection of photos. I really love the feelings they evoke - nostalgia, happiness and sometimes sadness. I particularly love the images with the old style photographs with the rounded corners and the warm fading colours, it makes me wish I could pop round to my Mum's and flip through the family snaps.

On a side note, I've be having some technical dramas with my commenting system (trust me to try and do something snazzy and end up with it biting me on the bottom!) So I may end up giving it the boot, in which case I may not be able to salvage some previous comments, sorry about that!

Joining back in

Hello friends. My posts have dwindled over recent months down to zero, to the point where I was seriously considering saying my goodbyes and leaving the blogosphere – it’s been getting me down.

I’ve written and re-written this post about my feelings a bunch of times.
I’m disenfranchised with blogging.. blah.. blah
I’m not sure I want to keep blogging… blah.. blah
I’m not even sure I want to read blogs anymore…blah

I can never find the time.. yada yada
Wah wah wah.. whinge whinge whine.

And you know what – I’ve changed my mind.

I’ve had a crystallising moment of clarity - I should take it all a bit less seriously. What I am trying to achieve is an honest reflection of my life, things I like and things I make - when I get around to it.

Yep, I think I can still have a go at that!

I'm excited, I’m no longer going to over think it (one of my big pitfalls), I’m just going to join back in.

Here is a little gifted baby blanket I crocheted for a good friend's recent arrival. I like having little blankets for the pram and car (and when they've been out grown, a teddy/dolly blanket), with the added bonus they are very quick to come together. My Swiss Miss gave it the once over, so it has the 'baby drool' seal of approval!
