Reflecting on Two Years "Away"

A lot can happen in two years. 
Here's what's been going on while I've been goofing off away from my blog.

I turned 70 . . . OMG!  The Good News:  I celebrated my birthday with my best friend (DH!) drinking champagne on a balcony overlooking the ocean in Portugal!

I taught myself to knit . . . again. My current repetoire consists of scarves and pussyhats.  I'm looking to expand my "collection" once I learn how to knit something that is not rectangular.

I lost 10 pounds . . . and gained it back over the holidays. Freestyle? I can do this!

I danced like no one was watching (thank God) in a pub in Dublin. (No, that's not DH!)

I lost my dear friend, Anita, to cancer.  When will we find a cure for womens' cancers?

I got dreadlocks. Sort of. They're clip on so I can be a part-time free spirit to balance out my latent OCD. (Did I mention that Fiber College is always a great time?)

DH got one too!


I camped. A lot.


I crossed Elton John off  my Bucket List!


In fact, I crossed Liverpool off my Bucket List too!


And I made things . . .
Tote Bags 

and aprons for friends.


Baskets for the library fundraiser.


A memory quilt, with Miss Stella from Gee's Bend.


 Altered Books.


and Sea Glass jewelry.


A busy two years.

No wonder I didn't have time to blog!
