I've gone hurtling through various phases of my life, so I absolutely understand what that feels like!
So glad you've got renewed energy and are taking on projects again! Thank goodness for spring as your winters must be harsh. I'm in the southern hemisphere, live in a subtropical climate, so winter is actually a very good season here!
I just love your colourful little octopusses, happy crocheting. Great to find new hobbies although your schedule has been rather full.
Happy gardening, and enjoy summer @scribblingramma!
