Hello world

I do believe again it's been quite awhile, however, this time it hasn't been months. Yeah I know I'm getting better at this. Life is still busy. I'm dealing with being pregnant, handling work and school and being a full time mom. I never quite realized how hard doing all of this was until I was right front and center with it. But I wouldn't change it, it's getting me closer to my goals, and I definitely love my job. Although, some days it is quite stressful. On top of that I have a full schedule of appointments for my son and myself. Being a mom to a child with special needs is tough and rewarding all at the same time. That and I am considered high risk because I had GD with my last pregnancy so they are closely monitoring my progress this time. Anyways I just wanted to write a short note, I'll come update more later.

It's been a long time

It has been a long time since I've blogged, and by long I mean months. I'm sorry to all my subscribers, I had plans to blog more but life just seems to have gotten in the way. What have we been up to here? Well Corbyn is now potty learned, it was a long hard road but we made it through, and well I've been in the pursuit of a Job. I'm going to be starting a personal care aide course on the 21st of September. Next week is coming up on moose season, so Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I will be out in the pursuit of the moose I'm going to eat all this coming winter and into next year. I love wild meat and it will taste even better knowing that it was my kill. I started going to a new church this last few weeks and I'm really quite enjoying it there. Corbyn loves his Sunday School class. I'll be starting the Alpha course next week as well. Corbyn has started Preschool and he's loving it there as well. I'm excited for all the new things he'll be learning and this month they are talking about families, which is fantastic, the children will get to learn all about the different kinds of families. I think it's important for them that they learn that not every family is the same, there are many types of families that make up this world. Anyways that's all for now, I'll try to write more in the next day or two :)

Busy bees are happy indeed

So I've been a busy bee lately. Four custom orders later and I'm finally able to get some personal stuff done. On the hook right now is a special project for my Cousin and his girlfriend who are due with their first baby in July. I can't wait to give it to them and see the baby in it. They will be good parents. They are the calmest people I know and my cousin's girlfriend really wanted this. I would too if I was with someone for 5 years. Yup that's right my baby cousin and his girlfriend have been together since she was a freshman in high school. Pretty awesome right. I think so too. So anyways I've had a busy few weeks and I've been working really hard on a lot of stuff. Getting my etsy store stocked with lots of cool things and all that jaz. It's amazing how invigorating it feels to do things for others, especially when you hand make it. Then I have something I have to make for my boyfriend's cousin and her man for their baby which is due in August. And then I'll probably make something for my son for easter. Yup yup.

Lots on the go

Hey all it's Krys here! Yeah I'm getting better at this blogging regularily stuff, NOT!!! I've got sooo much on the go right now, I've got friends asking for dipe tutes, which I will be doing on this blog :) I have people wanting some of my longies, I was asked to be a guest speaker so to speak at a mommy meeting, and I'm gonna get paid to teach people what I love to do, which is crochet, I am making longies for people, shorties, skirties, you name it I'm making it. But I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I'm here, I'm alive and I'm super busy.

Cheers!

Projects Projects and more Projects :)

So I've been working on sooo many projects lately I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. Most people know my two favorite things are photography and Crocheting, I love being artsy and crafty and I'm always coming up with new ideas, it's awesome really. I love love love crafts. I know I know, I've already broken one of my new years resolutions, to write more here. But, honestly for the first week of the new year I didn't have my computer, and then I've just been so busy it's kind of got put on the back burner, I'm going to make more of an effort though, even if it's only just a few short sentences here and there. I'll be posting some of my projects up on the blog though so everyone can oogle over them :)

Why hello long time no see

Hello everyone, I know it's been such a long time since I have written and I'm going to try and write more. In fact that is going to be my new year's resolution. To blog more. Speaking of new year's it's officially one of the last day's before new year's day. And honestly I can't believe where this year has gone. I'm taking time to reflect currently on this year. There have been some big changes, some good, some bad, some happy, some sad. But the one thing that I have realized in this past year is that whatever has happened, everything that has happened has been a blessing. Everyday I have been able to wake up to yet another day. So as I reflect on the good, and leave the bad, to be kept at the back of my mind not to be reflected on with too much effort, I realize how much I have learned in the last year as well.

This year I have embarked on going back to school. I'm currently upgrading some courses so that I can get into a diploma program for photography and graphic arts. Which I'm excited about. It's always been my dream to be a photographer. I've always been a very creative person and it brings me much joy to be able to capture other people in photographs. It also gives me great pleasure to see the reaction I get from others when they see the finished project.

Also this year I ended a relationship with someone I cared about very much. But in ending that relationship I found myself and who I was. I found out how strong I truly am. I dealt with some inner demons that I had been avoiding in hopes they would sort themselves out. But I dealt with them head on. I also found more joy in spending time with my son one on one than I ever though possible. He is so smart and teaches me something new everyday. I also found new love, a man who has been simply amazing to both me and Corbyn. He's a great person, who is very caring.

I also spent my time reading and learning a new skill that I was never able to learn before but after some practice I have figured it out. So I've spent time crocheting. I have also spent time baking and cooking. Which is some of my favorite things to do. So basically I'm saying that I have spent my time doing things I enjoy while finding myself. Which I think is very important in the journey to finding yourself, figuring out what it is that you like to do.

On the topic of finding myself. My sister sent me the book Eat, Pray, Love for christmas and honestly she could not have sent it to me at a better time in my life. Because that's exactly what the book is about, finding yourself, it's a book I would recommend anyone reading. It's a book that I'm enjoying very much, it's given me a whole new outlook on things that I thought about. A fresh perspective so to speak.

So here is my question : What are your new year's resolutions?

Mine are:

To spend more quality time with family and friend (by this I mean even if it's a short time to make the most of it everytime)

To learn a new skill and improve on my old ones.

To stop procrastinating and work on getting things done right away and not putting them off.

To volunteer for a charity at least once.

To read at least 50 books :)

To get healthier

Baby's sick again

Have you ever thought to yourself oh crap the baby's sick again whatever am I gonna do? Well I can honestly say I have. When you're knee deep in poopy diapers, your child is whiney, snotty nosed, and just a ball of aweful you can't help but to wonder what you're going to do. It's these times that most frustrate me. The times when your child refuses to nap even though they so blatently need one. The times when you just want to bow out, run away and start over. I love my son but some days I just want to give up and throw in the towel. When I've given all I think I can give and I can't take anymore. It's those days when I really prove to myself that I am far stronger than I give myself credit for. When I'm here dealing with this sick baby all by myself and his father is no where to be found. It's those times that I try and find the blessings in life. Every moment in my home is a cherished moment. I've learned not to take things for granted because all too soon all those things can be taken from you. In the blink of an eye really. I realize this is probably jumbled and all over the place and I'm sorry about that, it's only because I'm tired, my thoughts are all over the place, and I can't get them stuck on just one topic. Anyways this is going to be short. I have yet another long work day ahead of me.
