Hi-this is what I have been doing-happy 2013-bye.

Just popping my head in and giving a quick wave

as I rush past.

I hope that  you all enjoyed  your Christmas,

whoever you were with and whatever you were doing.

Apparently somewhere around northern Colorado back in October,

I lost my blogging mojo.

It is dusty in here.

I haven't been taking much care of this little space in the past few months.

I never did get back to report on our fabulous holiday.

I have wanted to blog but haven't had much to say

or the energy to say it.

So methinks that I might have gotten a bit of sewing

and a lot of knitting done instead.

2013 was a fabulous year for our little family

but I have to say that the end sucked a bit.

I can't say that I achieved a lot of my craft goals for the year

but I did knit over 28 kilometres of yarn

and still managed to have some energetic bursts of sewing in the meantime.

I am hoping that 2013 brings the best of health to some people that I know

and an easier emotional year for some others.

I am not much for resolutions.

I am better at hoping than resolving.

(Better for my commitment issues)

I hope to find that creativity that I have lost

so I can get back to writing and blogging.

Because I really do miss writing.

I hope to give my friend who will be visiting from Finland

her lifelong wish - a cuddle with a koala.

I hope to continue to resist the evil temptation that is Coke Zero

(2 days in and counting)

I hope to get healthier and lose that weight

that came with USA holidays, Reece's peanut butter cups,  malted shakes and chilliburgers. 

I hope to spend less time on the internet 

and less time internet shopping.

I also hope (OK, Mr Boozle, intend) to stop buying so much yarn.

If I am knitting 28 kilometres a year

and still struggling to stash it,

I have issues.

I hope that I wont end up making 24 metres of bias binding 

and 24 metres of bunting in 3 days 

for Christmas presents

because, as much as sewing 104 flags together could be therapeutic,

it just did my head in.

I am feeling like life is a bit fragile at the moment.

So in 2013 I hope that I can make the most of each and every day.

Let us go carpe the fuck out of this diem.

I wish you and yours a fabulous 2013.

Now I am out of here for a while.
Hoping to recharge the batteries
and fire myself up for the next year.
