Life and the Pursuit of Sanity

by Kristin on July 28, 2010

Life is funny sometimes… every time I think I’ve found my sanity, something comes along and sanity starts laughing at me! I always forget how incredibly busy summer can get no matter where I live at.

There have been weddings, family reunions, photography events, spending time with friends, and trips to Chicago.

This summer has been a fun one… but the blog has been neglected.

So Has My Knitting…

Unfortunately, with lots of things going on during the weekends and throughout the evenings, my knitting has been incredibly neglected. I’ve mainly been working on these two pairs of socks.

Summer of Socks

It has become a summer of socks

The one on the right is the Glynis socks from Cookie A’s Sock Innovation and the one on the left is the Slip Jig socks from March 2010 Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin’ Sock Club.

I did finally break back into my spinning wheel this weekend and hope to continue motivation with the beautiful roving I’m spinning from Intention Yarns.

Spending My Days Behind the Camera…

With winter over and everything in full bloom, I’ve been spending a number of days behind the camera, and I’m loving every minute of it! After purchasing my camera last summer and getting to know it through the winter I’ve been getting to spend a lot of time learning even more. There are a lot of shots that I’ve been pretty proud of this summer that I would’ve never gotten with a point and shoot.

Even tonight, Wrigley curled up in “her” chair next to me while I worked on the blog and I snapped this shot. Flash and I are slowly becoming friends and over time I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it.

Have no fear… I’ll be back…

When summer ends and life comes back down to earth, I plan on getting more back into the blog. It’s been far too long.

How has your summer been? Did anything exciting happen while I was gone?

(oh, and in case you didn’t notice, I have a new theme)
