Long Time, No See

Hello blog, it's been a while. I'm not sure how to get back started. Dive right in, I suppose. March was a hard month for me/us. I'm glad April starts tomorrow so I can turn the page and MOVE ON! The biggest plague to our joy was literally PLAGUE. I was sick the whole month long and seemed to spread it around like soft butter on warm toast to everyone I know. My sister and mother (who live in Colorado and Florida respectively and I rarely get to see) came for a visit this month that turned into the trip from hell because everyone got horribly sick. Especially my poor sweet niece who was laid so low by a double ear infection I contemplated hiring a priest to come in for an exorcism. Turns out she only needed antibiotics.

So, march was a wash.... and really right now I just want to crawl in a hole and knit. So, that's what I am going to do. Any on-line time I've been devoting to cataloging my brief three years worth of knitting projects on Ravelry. (I've only got up 2011 stuff up so far). I always thought I'd make myself a little scrapbook filled with notes on projects along with photos and thank you notes from gift recipients, but that has never materialized. This shouldn't surprise me as none of my children have a baby books and I can hardly find the time to blog. Anyway, it is far easier to throw a few pictures of each project on Ravelry (I'm Rebeccawing) and call it good. As long as they never go out of business (impossible to imagine) or the Internet doesn't cease to exist (catastrophe) I think my purpose will be served. Sure, future generations won't be able to pour through my cute little scrapbook and wonder who Great Grandma Becca was... but then who knows, maybe the Internet will some how prove to be as much as an archaeological goldmine as my dusty old attic ever could.

Here is some march snaps for posterity:

My Nephew CJ and Lola hit it off.

Actually, CJ gets along great with EVERYONE.

Dora socks from Aunt Cake. 

Birthday corsage for my mom... knit while she was here, and a month overdue. 

All the pictures of my sister show her comforting a sick child.
