My personal blog for posting what's on my mind and what I'm up to.
Lots of Updates Here
Well, I have been really lousy at posting here. I'm going to try to be more active here and in the communities I've joined in the future though. This year has been really hard, and having to lose two family members in less than a year has been really rough and devastating honestly. And so much has changed, after 12 years I had to stop wearing my hijab full time. I still wear it sometimes, but not all the time anymore. That has been a huge adjustment for me. While I feel safer and have less anxiety and stress and can go about my daily life so much better, it is weird. It feels so odd, and I don't know, weird. I said that already. I'm hoping to start homeschooling my kids either this next semester or next year. Probably next year, rather than in the middle of the school year, that would probably be easiest for everyone involved. My potatoes never sprouted, but most of my garlic did. Now I'm going to go out in the cold and the wind to prepare the yard for onions. I bought two bunches of onions and a half bunch of leaks and they'll be arriving soon, about 130-150 plants in total. I hope we have room for them all. I finally finished a scarf I was knitting, just need to weave in the last ends, and I started two crochet projects, one is a lace work shawl, the other is a hooded shawl called the Woodsman's Wife, and I'll admit, I was attracted to the pattern based on the name because I always wished we lived in the mountains away from everyone else! I'll get some pictures of all those up soon! No sewing, I lost all my needles when I had to remove everytihng from the room that's all kept in so we could get a new floor. I had so many needles...now I have none, and had to order some, I hope they'll get here before the weekend beause I cut out a cute hood in suede and fake fur. Anyways, that's about it for now, ooh, I did some reading recently, I think I'll save that for another post though, gives me a reason to come back, right? Anyways, I need to go get my work done now.
