I made One Year!

I began blogging exactly one year ago on April Fool's Day. Is there a hidden message in there somewhere?
I started blogging during a down time for me...lot's of issues in my life and in desparation decided to blog my way out of it! A lot of my angst got posted in my first blog and the craft blog split off. The first blog is pretty much just an occasional movie review and whine but remains open for any future hills and valleys.
Along the way, I have met some wonderful "imaginary" friends, as twosheep calls them, and some real ones at the Aloha knitters. I've gotten much inspiration from the talented and creative people out there, not just in knitting and crafts, but in life and love, too!
A big ALOHA! to all the wonderful blog sisters out there for sharing their talents and kind words. And, thanks also bloglines and blogger.com for enabling me to connect with them and of course the Internet, still the most amazing invention in my time.


This orchid bloomed in time for Project Spectrum yellow and orange. It is delicate and not a long lasting flower, but when well cared for it can make several sprays at once and the glory makes up for the brief show.

Congratulations!

The sushi stitch markers, by the way, are from Amyville.com. I posted a link on the Aloha Knitters group too.

Wow, one whole year! Blogging is great therapy - I love the instant feedback and kind support from virtual friends.

BTW - I got a chuckle out of your mis-directed e-mail. I'd love to go to Aloha Knitters w/ you, but it's a bit of a long commute!
