Surprise!

What would six months of no posts be without a baby at the end of them?
Welcome Baby M2.

17 Months!?

Apparently, when the going gets tough, the tough get going I pull my head in like a turtle and try to hide (what feel like) my failings from the world. It has been a long 17 month. Not all of it bad by any means, but much of it hard. And I simply have not known how to talk about it. To myself or anyone else. Perhaps bits and pieces of the last year and a half will make their way into this space. Perhaps not. But I have once again found myself wanting to record our days and share them with anyone who happens by.

First and foremost, I will introduce my dear, sweet "M":

Born in March 2013, she is now going on ten months old and is trying her hardest to do everything B can do.

We had a lovely Christmas up in the north with family, and it is now time, once again, to strive for rhythm and meaningful work.

Happy New Year!

I had no idea how busy I would be! And while I haven't felt particularly artistic or writerly in the past year, I certainly found myself making things and wondering about our relationship to the divine. I am still interested in my previous question, but I feel that there is a new dimension. One including humility. We'll see where this goes. This is the place I want to record and share the thoughts and creations of The Homely Maker.
