2018 Half Gone

I haven't blogged in forever.
I don't spend time on the PC anymore so since the beginning of this blog I have finally and truly kicked the internet and computer addiction. I use my phone to read facebook every day.
I don't exercise
I don't eat healthy
My life has moved in other directions. 

Dave and I have divorced.
I met and married Darrell.


I am very happy with where I'm at right now. 
I just don't know where to begin writing again.

My passions in life now are family, gardening, outdoors life, craft projects. 

I am in a wonderful relationship. I feel blessed and lucky. 
Darrell and I both love camping and gardening. He does more of
the actual labor while I do the appreciating haha. 

Logan spends half his time here and half at his dads.
He chose this custody arrangement and he is a thriving preteen now.
He chose to do a one week rotation. Occasionally we will stray and 
do two weeks but he really prefers the one week switch off. 

We are homeschooling him now and he is very successful. Though I
really want to expand his social interactions. I just don't know people
his age and when we meet there just isn't that special friendship vibe 
created. I so want him to have at least one valuable friendship. He and
Jesse are good friends but we don't see enough of him to have it be a 
nurturing relationship. I will work on that some more this summer.

On to projects. 
I crochet Darrell and I a blanket using dark autumn colors.
I love it but it's a bit heavy and I get too hot to use it for sleeping.


I cross stitched Alex a tree of life shroud for his ashes. A lot of tears went into that project but it came out nicely. I want to cross stitch his tattoo creation but just haven't had the heart to finish putting it together yet. It's just so hard to project in memory of my son. Makes me cry just to write down the intentions.





I started to crochet another blanket for Darrell and I using greens and browns in a chevron pattern. It's pretty but not a summer project.







My newest project is weaving using plastic bags. This is proving
to be real fun for me. 









I also started a business with my 
sister-in-law..CarDOGans. 
It's crocheting doggy sweaters and accessories.



Darrell and I also started a business. We mow and take care of lawns and gardens for others.
