Gotta start somewhere...

(Translation) it's been too long old buddy.

Let's just state the obvious and we'll move forward from the somewhere we are now in life: it has been a rough couple of years of adjustment.

But. It is okay, even if it's not all okay right now, we're okay.

It's been hard to find the first steps back to blogging again, especially not being sure how exactly to define my creative self since so much of my identity was wrapped up in the fiber arts community, being a maker, etc. So lets restart, again, with paper and ink.

Of course, for now, not guaranteeing any consistency on posting, yet. My Instagram feed has been my mini-blog for a little while so follow there to see more frequent updates. There is such a back log of stuff from the last few years that I would love to share. Ideas and resources that I've neatly tucked away in a spreadsheet waiting for warmer weather to arrive.

For those looking for typical kat stuff, don't worry, there is also a big ol' pile of tinker-y, stupid stuff too. We're still talking about the person that can burn bologna... (seriously, can't be serious too long).

So apparently, there is something for everyone here. Stay tuned.

    Rediscovering Ravelry in the last few months has been odd. So much stuff has basically frozen in place in the last five or six years. I guess I've kinda of followed the same path, fiber arts use to be my eat/sleep/breathe. For me it was headaches and neck pain that started taking that away though and eventually all things yarn slipped past in a mash of mixed emotions and loses.    I know there are still a bunch of very active boards still going though. I'm surprised how it's changed but figure I'm just not looking in the right spot because I'm sure even though we are stuck at home, knitting and crocheting is still on going and somehow yarn shops are still yarn shopping. It's been a long, complicated bit. My project bags have been glaring at me when I shuffle around the office boxes. I've tempted fate once and while even bringing a bag to work in hopes of etching in a few rows here and there. I still fear the migraines, so it's slow going. It's a...

Slow moving, on.

Hi Folks, Over the course of the summer I have been in the process of consolidating my projects into a more cohesive (and manageable) chunk. My older brain is getting to the point of not enjoying the 95-bazillion different venues of creativity. It's time to focus energy on a few key projects and let the rest, rest. Most of the current blog had already been archived in April when I came back to it after a year away.  I felt it was needed, both to freshen up the space and to move forward. When I started blogging haphazardly in 2008, I was obviously on a different career path and with different artistic outlets. So, with that said, I would love for you to join me at Craft Consignment . Have a day, - katkoe
