I've been contemplating entirely changing my blog for some time now. This blog is a little over two years old and though I had a refresh, I really feel it is time for a bigger change. When I first started this blog, I was knitting nonstop. Though I still knit, I've found my interests have swayed a bit in other directions too. I've been sewing a lot more, cooking/baking, quilting, taking photography classes, and concentrating more on my kiddos. I've had a hard time with posts these past few months because I've felt bad that nothing I write has anything to do with knitting. Don't you think with a name like "I Heart Yarn" there is a certain expectation about what a blog is about? Cara had a really interesting
post that only confirmed where I had been going in my head. I think for me I want to be able to post about anything and everything in our life and family and not have to feel like I keep apologizing for not having something knitting-related.
So, I'm going in a different direction and I hope you will follow me there. I thought and thought about a name. I wanted to find something that didn't put me into a corner about what my blog is about. And then it just came to me and it seemed so perfect and simple and fit.....Silly Happy Sweet. Silly is the name my dad has called me since I can remember. Happy is the name of one of MiniMe's favorite stuffed animals and I hope defines our family most days. And sweet because everyone teases B and I for our sweettooths. We're never short of sweet things around here!
So please stop by my new
blog. Please subscribe to my feed and keep up with me! I really hope you do because I've so much enjoyed my friendship with all of you. I still hope the knitting blog web ring will have me because I still knit and will be posting about a new felted purse pattern this week. See you on the Silly Happy Sweet side!
