I final did it

SO I final did it.  This is my first post to my new blog.  what to say?...  I started the blog to show my photography, i am hoping that in the next 3-5 years I will be able to either quite my day job or drastically reduce my  hours and do photography and graphic design full time.  When I turned 40 I decided to take that old saying life begins at 40 and really put it to the test( I know how corny it sounds), since last may I have started school and made a plan to make my life exactly what I want it to be.  SO i guess starting a blog fits into that plan.  Who know if any one will read this or look at my work but it feels like a way to put myself out into the world that doesn't seem quite so scary.  I plan on posting twice a week to start and see where that leads me.  the posting will more than likely be all over the place about photography, knitting raising a daughter who is about to jump into puberty with both feet...  So on that subject, God now I know what my mother had to go though, one minute a loving young girl who never wants to leave your side to the next minute a monster  with big fangs that can scream louder than anything you have ever heard! 
OK i guess i am digressing... 
On knitting, I am making this great project bag, the pattern is from my local yarn shop,  I of course am  totally not  following the instructions and its going to be huge, I started it because i have this sweater that i started when my daughter was born (11 years ago) and had never finished it.  I made a pack with myself that I would Not buy any more new yarn until I got at least everything I have started finished, That is to say everything on the needles, i am not talking at all about my stash... oh the beloved stash!!   So hence the bag.  
It is calling me so I will write more later...
