Oh hai

Well, I have a blog now. I have finally advanced into the year 2006, which is probably pretty ahead of the times for a simpleton from Lakewood Ohio.

Oh, Lakewood is not the bad, and I love Cleveland. It is a lot nicer and more interesting than it gets credit for.

Actually, a little over a year ago, I "broke up" with Cleveland. I had one of those "screw you, Mom! You'll never get me!" things with it, and relocated to young, hot, and cool Austin TX. I quickly discovered that Austin was sexy, but empty and dumb. Austin is spoiled and rich, Austin has yet to overcome a hardship or encounter loss. Austin is fast and bright, but not whole. So, less than a year after moving, I began my 2000 mile bicycle trip back to Cleveland.

I had, much like Harry at the end of When Harry Met Sally, realized that the friend I had disposed of was the one for me. That Cleveland, though seemingly less glamorous and certainly less wealthy, was worth riding a bicycle halfway across the country for. Cleveland; honest, a little rough around the edges, artistic, and usually getting drunk. I truly love it here.

That said, I am proud to be a crafter here in Cleveland Ohio. I make things out of yarn, fabric, and thread. I will use this blog as a means to share my craft fails, my craft successes, and other craftyness. Also, as just a place to blab and such. Cheers
