New beginnings

So I haven't been upkeeping the blog very well the last few weeks. In part, it's because I had a pretty exciting end to 2008. I've been dating this really cute and super nice guy for a while now, and on New Year's Eve he asked me to marry him. I think I can get a pass on the knit blogging because I've been too giddy with laughing and drinking champagne and generally doing nothing but work and kissing ever since.

A week later, I'm only just coming back down to reality. I don't think I've knit a stitch since December. So it's definitely time to get back to work. I have a date with a friend of mine to quilt on Sunday (which means I need to find my Storm at Sea quilt and get it ready). And I am definitely ready to get back to some knitting. I have a belated holiday/birthday gift to work on, I signed up for the crazy 12-sweater challenge... and of course I need to fit in wedding planning and moving and all the incredibly exciting couple stuff, too, in between craft projects. Heck, I'm hoping to DIY a fair bit of this wedding- which is still crafty, but in a whole new way for me.

G started a blog for us on New Year's Day, so we can kick 2009 off right and document this whole crazy wedding experience. You're welcome to check it out- I figure maybe this way I can keep the strictly wedding stuff off of Handknit by Mikaiya, and reserve this blog for my knitting and craft obsession. But I bet they both bleed into each other a fair bit. How could they not- one of the first discussions regarding living together was how I'm going to fit all of my yarn and sewing machines and craft supplies into our home! At least I found the right man. He doesn't mind the fact that I'm going to have yarn in the coffee table for the rest of our lives, and potentially dangerous knitting needles all around the house. What a darling.
