August. The fireweed (willowherb) is almost done, the thistle is going to seed, the students are arriving in town again…that back-to-school feeling is definitely creeping its way into Trondheim. Seems like an appropriate time to dust this thing off, yeah?
I didn’t intend for the blog to go quiet, but between the pandemic, working on a PhD, and then having a baby (something I chose not to share online until after the fact), it simply became harder to make time for. That baby is now a toddler and I have less than three months remaining on my PhD contract, if I needed evidence of how much time has elapsed. Although to be honest, time has been a little funny ever since 2020, the year that felt like time stopped.
Becoming a parent has been transformative, to put it mildly, and the first year of my kid’s life was marked by frequently setting myself on the back burner in order to nurture and care for this new small being. A lot of the things I usually write about in this space–knitting, sewing, even long photo walks–got put on the back burner. And I am slowly, slowly finding my way back to them, when I have time and space for it. Time and space for myself.
I have things to share here when I can find the time! Snippets of it here and there. So I’ll see you again soon here in this space–today’s just me dipping my toes back in the water. Hi, hello, I hope you’re well.
