It's about time

So it has been awhile since I have thought about posting something. Busy life? Maybe. Most likely? No. I find myself sometimes sitting at my computer, or on the couch wondering what I should do. Almost like I am in a daze of some sort. I have started several new projects though. One of which is done, so started since my last posting I should really say. I have included a picture of my daughters cute pink hat that I made. Granted, she won't wear it when she is born, so hopefully it will fit her in the fall. It is the first time that I did a "pom pom". Boys don't like those pom-pom balls on top of their hats. As I knit and crochet, I find that I need to go through the pattern I am using, then do it again with my own revisions. The pom-pom was something that I did from directions, ended up with a million cut up pieces of blue yarn all over me and the couch, then I did it my way after doing a bit of problem solving. But I am happy with how it turned out and have been told by my eldest son that I better not put any of those on his hats that I make for him.
Another project is something that I have always wanted to do, but never have had the guts to actually do. Writing a book. I have written several shorts, mostly about my experiences with life, and this book is a fictional story that has lived in my head for a long time, but has never really made itself into a good enough story until recently. I love that I can see the story in my head and as I write it just seems to flow from my fingers. Let's hope that it sounds as good on paper as it does in my mind.

Finally the third thing is my husbands logo and website design. I nailed a logo down and finished the design for the site yesterday. Now I just need to design a brochure. his is the first project that I have actually done a "brand book" for. Working on the vision was great and I loved the twinkle in his eyes as I read it to him. Designing patterns and other graphic elements is so much fun for me because since he is my husband, I can do whatever I want works best for his brand and won't get to much argument.

So that is it for now. So maybe I am that busy. Time to get some family time in now, it is pizza and movie night.
