Let's Try This Again.....

  Bloggers forgive for I have not posted.  It has been over a year since my last post......

Wow!  One year!  I have been paying for this thing for the past year and haven't posted until now.  If anyone out there is still reading this, I do apologize.  I am going to TRY and post to this at least once a week.....let's see how I do!

If you have read my blog in the past, then you know that I have had many ups and downs with the family.  To give a brief update, I can say that my family is doing much, much better.  Johnny did graduate from high school and is now attending college.  Tori is cheering again and her grades and attitude are much improved.  I did do the right thing by closing the yarn shop.  As painful as that was (and it was very, very painful), the outcome for my kids was more than worth that price.

Now, don't think that I believe that everything will be hunky dory from now on.  I know that I will have to continue to be there for the kiddos for a long while.  I just now feel that the sacrifices are starting to pay off.....they are good kids and it has been worth it!

For those of you that I have talked to recently, and have wanted to know the horror stories that I can now laugh at, stay tuned, I will post those stories at later dates!

In case you are wondering, I am knitting.  I actually have just started a project.  I have lots of yarn (shocker!) and pulled something that has been in my stash for several years.  I have lots of Jo Sharp yarn.  I love her tweeds and color pallette.  So when I saw this,  I knew what my next project would be.  I am using Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in Potpourri.  I started it on Saturday and hope that have the back finished this week.  I will try to post pictures later this week.

Well, that's all for now.  I am impressed that I posted this much :)  Let's see if I can keep this up!

Nice to see you back Violet! While many of us miss The Frog Pond, we totally understand the sacrifices parents must make sometimes. I'm glad to hear the kids are back on track!
I know you won't probably recognize the name, but I'm one of the faces of Chicks With Sticks (Rocklin group). Looking forward to seeing your sweater when it's done!!! Very cute!
