It's been a crazy last few months. Lack of broadband, and excess of thought requiring tasks have led to a profound amount of silence on my blog. It's amazing how much of my writing stems from random thoughts, and the wish to inflict them on my family and friends on a whim. Remove the ease of jumping on the computer and shooting off a rant/thought/ramble, and you get 6 months of silence.
I've missed it though. Especially the responses and conversation with friends that writing here spawns. Reading over the past few years here, I see conversations with friends we've lost to death and distance. And friends we haven't lost at all.
The moves, the jobs, the pains and joys... it's been a great couple years, and I've been honored to spend it with such fine people.
I don't know where to begin if I am to update you on my life now. Suffice it to say that I have moved back to my "hometown" as it were, and I am still working in hotels. I am working for the best hotel in the area, as I wouldn't have it any other way, and while the road has been a bumpy one, I am happy that we have done this move. I miss my mountains, and the sunshine, but being near family has been as priceless as advertised. Sarah and I are both looking forward to building our own life in our own home, but have enjoyed the closeness and hospitality that my family has provided by letting us stay with them until we find our feet.
I have recently solidified a past dream of mine, one that involves drawing designs on clothing. I have made several half-hearted attempts in the past to see it to fruition, but I have a really good feeling about this time. I am planning to begin an actual clothing line under the moniker "Hollycross", which is a previous design of mine which first appeared on this blog.
My first work under the label was this onesie, made for a wonderful little girl, born to dear friends of ours. I have named the pattern "Cayman" after her, and I have been pleased to see it very well received. I have been taking orders via email, and hope to soon have a website up and running where I can begin to fill orders as well. I must find a good way to produce what is needed, before I get in over my head... but it's great to see a demand.
Once I know more, I'll fill you in. Again, it's good to be back in the blogosphere... I missed you.
