In the beginning

How to begin. I never intended on having a blog, ever. I have been told that I have the gift of gab, diarrhea of the mouth, love to hear myself talk...well I think you get the picture. But that does not always translate on paper. It's not the same thing. I consider myself a terrible and boring writing and if you've already tuned out I'll understand. But what on this holy earth got me to blog?
I joined Ravelry. It's not like I didn't have life before Ravelry, I did and still do. I have two beautiful boys, and an amazing, supportive and loving husband and tons of extended family and friends. But what I found on Ravelry, besides a group of amazing and creative people, fellow knitters/crocheters, was that everyone had a story. Whether it be knitting or crafting or family story, each story had it's own special personal meaning. It was great and inspirational. That said one person comes to mind that truly inspired me to blog and that is fellow Raveler Cathvs as she is know in the Ravelry world.
So, I decided to blog as a way to document my personal crafting journey through knitting and crocheting, share my love for food and travel adventures and my crazy family life.
