Motivation to blog

This blog has been so neglected.  But I just haven’t had anything to write about.  I’ve been trying to keep my health stuff on the “other blog” and since it has been taking up so much of my time,  and I haven’t had a lot going on, I just haven’t had the motivation I need to write posts here.  That needs to change.  I need to find more balance in my life and obviously if my focus has been completely on the “other blog” then I’m not balancing very well.

I’ve decided to take on a couple of projects for this blog to chronicle.  Hopefully to get me back into the right frame of mind for writing.

Spring Cleaning/Decluttering

It’s still Spring.  The first day of Summer isn’t until June 21.  So, I figure if I get started on Spring Cleaning before that date, it is still technically Spring Cleaning.  I’m going to be using a combination of the Spring Cleaning Party plan on Simple Mom and the “party” variations and tips on Organizing Your Way.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll try to post some before and after photos as I work through each area.  We’ll see how it goes.

“Soon-To-Be Niece/Nephew” Baby Blanket

I’m working my way through a blanket for my sister’s baby.  She is due at the end of October or beginning of November.  She is 40 and this will be her first child.  She’s been wanting this for so long and it’s incredibly exciting for her (and really for our whole family).  So, I started a blanket for her.  It’s a pretty simple pattern but with a rather pretty yarn, and it doesn’t require that I do a whole lot of thinking while I knit.  I’m going to try to get some early stage pictures here in the next few days.  I’m only about 2/9 the way through it (heh.  9 squares, obviously).   We’ll see how the finishing goes, since I’m going to have to sew up all those seems.  Should be an interesting learning process.
