"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

What Crocheting and Knitting mean to me...

Back in January, Lion Brand Yarn posted a question on their blog asking How Knitting and Crocheting Make Us Better. They complied some of the answers into a short video...

My crafting was one thing that help me keep my sanity when I was dealing with infertility. Crafting has also let me express my artistic nature in a way that can be shared with others. Now, slowly, I am teaching my sons to crochet and I'm passing that ability to create joy and beauty on to another generation.

News and Questions and Updates...Oh My!

I'm so proud of my mommy. She got appointed to the NC Governor's Teacher Advisory Committee. The head of the NCAE recommended her for this appointment. I'm so glad she is getting the recognition she so richly deserves.

I am so excited. I have found a super cheap yet nice way to get to NYC for BlogHer. I did a search for bus fares to NY and found a site called GotoBus. They deal with charter bus services and I can get a round trip ticket from Raleigh to NYC for only $60 and travel time is only 9 hours one way.

I finished my first knit project. It's just a simple garter stitch scarf done with two strands of yarn but, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

If any of y'all are on Ravelry, can you tell me what your Ravelry ID is? You can find me under the user name dragondreamer.

What's going on in your life right now?
