ragamuffin thoughts

This summer has been one of growth, unexpected events, and new loves.
Whilst suffering through was must be the most severe case of artist block ever known to Brette-Renee, I channeled my love and frustration for painting towards yarn and crochet.

I love crochet because the yarn can hangout with my hands while my mind goes wherever it wants, and I know that in the end, it will work out fine...a good thing to have when struggling with the other kinds of art like I have been recently. It's been a good break and learning experience. I finished my first project (a queen size afghan!), and sent it secretly to my scruffy boyfriend head, Adam. That's another thing that is new...

After much needed healing in Bali, I came back to America content and with a light heart. Long story short (and our story is a wonderful one..), we talked for 5 months and became wonderful friends before we actually met in person...He flew out 3 weeks ago to meet me and my family, and ask me to be in a committed relationship with him! Anyway, I won't bore you to death but God is so creative how he brings people together...I'm going to see him at Christmastime. :) The best thing about him is his big heart for the Father.

SO, that is what is new, I suppose...crochet projects, and an Adam. (not that anyone reads this thing anyway! But it's been awhile.)
Halloween in approaching and our party will be wonderful!
