Oh, dear. I forgot my anniversary. This blog and I have been together for six years, as of this past Wednesday, and I completely forgot to say anything.
Back in the olden days (way further back than the archives remember), I used to commemorate my 'bloggiversary' by looking back through the last year's posts and finding my favourite passage from each month. This year, I've found a photo of something I've made, instead.
I feel like I'm such a visual person these days, or maybe all this crafting has just allowed me to find new ways of expressing it. I was paging through my magazine clippings book the other day and was interrupted by a noise, only to realize that I had been completely absorbed in those images, reading them just as I would read a book of words. It feels like having a secret talent, or realizing I speak a language I never learned, and I must figure out how to hone that skill to perfection.
Six years ago, I started a little blog to be goofy and tell people what I was up to. If I hadn't, I would have never met Rob; never lived in London; never realized I can just *do* things, like creating a craft book from scratch; and I certainly wouldn't have been able to ramble on about the significance of blogs in the crafty world (my CraftyPod interview airs 15 December, I believe). What a crazy old world this is, and how lucky I am to be a part of it!
Six years!
...makes me think about what happened six years ago; The first christmas as a mum, new city, rain, tiny red sweather, new yarnshop, still knitting!
Thank you for reminding me!
