It has been a while...

Since I have blogged but Computer troubles at my house have meant no access to the internet. It has been strange not to log on and browse the net and I would love to say I've discovered more time and completed many projects but that would be a bare faced lie.

I've had six weeks off work to deal with a nightmare situation, the one that every mother dreads and while I had every intention of being incredibly active, instead I sat and mostly contemplated. This was exactly what my mind needed and I now feel more at peace than I have for a long while. It hasn't changed the situation but I am more able to deal with it and there is much to be grateful for.

Good news on My Cute Neighbour Guy. Great news in fact. We're not going to be neighbours for much longer. In fact we're going to live in the same house. It's going to be brilliant. We just have to work out where to store my substantial yarn stash and integrate the dogs and that's it. We've taken our time and set a very slow pace, so slow at times I thought we were heading backwards but patience does have its reward.
There are finished projects to blog about but I need to relocate the Iphone cable first, I'm sure to find it while packing and then I'll post the latest pieces.

Hi Ally, hope you are coping well with whatever is going on with young ones. So glad to hear your good news though. I have been away from blogging as well, just actually opened my comments today. I am still in full-on summer mode though, so not really getting right back to everything. Just finishing off another Uni course and then a bit of break from school.

Boy, big developments in your world! I hope everything is ok in the mothering department -- it's a super tough job and it doesn't always go the way we think it should. Can't wait to see your finished projects.

Nice to have you back! Fantastic news about you and Cute Neighbour Guy. Very cryptic about the children though, all sorts of things came to mind and I hope it's none of them.

I'm sorry to hear you've had some trials in the mothering department. You are not alone in that and I fear I gave my parents some sleepless nights.... Everything will work itself out.

I am happy to hear that the cute neighbor guy is still in the picture!
