On the road to getting better

Today was my first therapist appointment. It's been a very long time since I have talked to a professional and today was really nice. I really like my doctor and actually can't wait to go back. I next have to go to a psychiatrist but I think I am finally ready to face all of my "demons" so to speak and get better.

Hopefully I will get up the pictures from carving pumpkins and trick or treating soon. My motivation has been at an all time low.

Oh my....

It's been over a month since my last blog! I'm sorry but I just haven't wanted to and haven't really had anything to blog about. I'm going to try and post at least once a week.

FO - Baby blanket

I've finished the baby blanket finally. I love it so much that I might make one for myself. This was the first time I ever used a self striping yarn and it is great! I can't wait to give it to my friend!

Need to post more

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Not much going on here. I will post more soon.

New camera and a baby blanket

I am so excited...I got a new camera! It's a Canon EOS Rebel T3.

Isn't it lovely!?!

Anyways, I am working on a baby blanket for a friend of mine. I am loving this yarn so much that I just might make a large one for myself!

Lastly, Meg got her hair cut for school. It looks so cute!

She even got a blue clip-on streak added.
