Bravery... and PIF

This is the first REAL blog entry in so long ... This may be a real new years post just 10 days late ( I hate being late to the party) ... I have been playing with a new blog behind the scenes for a bit now and I think it is almost ready ( I'll let you all know when it is). I decided to challenge myself to a bunch of new things too. I am trying to post a pic a day for a year... I really want to explore photography as a new medium I am so inspired by so many peoples photos and would love to learn more about it. I am also trying to do 101 in 1001 (101 tasks in 1001 days). One of the things I am planning to do is be more brave and to play with other crafts I enjoy so with that in mind I am gonna Pay it Forward .. I am lucky enough to be receiving from knitter/ sewing chick extraordinaire 'Chelle.
Here are the details of this exchange...

“The idea of the exchange is I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on this blog post requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet, and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”

I am so excited to make and send a handmade gift someones way... Happy crafting

I missed a day so much for nanoblopo whatever... My tush is being kicked right now in a bunch of different directions so posting daily just isn't possible ( and posting to say I am alove and tired would get boring for you). This does not mean I am gonna post every 2 months I think I just need a schedule. For today clickey here for a cute love story ( I am a sucker for a cute story ...

I think I may be a cheater... I just semi panicked because I didn't post today. As I haven't gone to sleep yet and it is still the 11th on the west coast I think this should count... Went shopping for a new digi cam today and may have found something just need to read a few more reviews ( I am such a crazy I have to read every review.)

Posting everyday is hard... I am not that interesting a person. No seriously. Though the one thing I have to say is I have been drooling non stop over Oblique I have even contemplated a yarn sub as the angora / mohair will kill me. For a non sweater knitter I have been coveting / knitting a lot of sweaters. Any suggestions about yarn or more topics let me know in the comments....
