This blog has gone through a lot of phases. I used to post here only about items I was making, but then my pace of making slowed. Currently I&#8217;m knitting and crocheting, which I think is very boring to post about because it is long-term. So what if I&#8217;ve added a few rows of the same day after day. Honestly, it is good for me because these are long-term projects and I can&#8217;t be impatient to finish them or it becomes a struggle. But at the same time, i want to keep my blog going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could I post every day? About something to celebrate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have I become lazy with words, with trying to tell? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went with relatives to the Gardens Aglow light show at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens yesterday.
