There was a bear!

For the past 8 years a The Knitting Bee has been organizing a bear outfit knit-a-thon for children that attend Camp Erin. While I have been a frequent customer at the Bee over the years, this is the first year I have participated.
It took me a little while to figure out what I wanted to make, but I am pretty happy with my end result.
I hope that whoever ends up with this bear will be very happy with her.

Time Flies!

When you're a child the days drag into weeks and eventually months and years. It seems like time never moves fast enough. You look forward to the next milestone in life. Next Christmas, Birthday, Summer Break. When will I be old enough to .... stay up past 8:30pm... drive...drink...?
And then, we grow up.
Suddenly we find ourselves looking back more. "I remember when..." passes through our minds more and more as events pass in a blur.
I find myself often in the woulda, coulda, shoulda contemplation. Thinking of things I could have done, or shouldn't have.
One thing I most often regret and think about is that I haven't kept better record of the big events over the years and when I think back my memory isn't always the best.
With this blog I hope to have a place to share hopes and plans for the future, record what happens in the present so I can remember the past.
Right now, I find myself married for almost 3 years. A mother of a 6 month old. And overall pretty darn happy with my life.
