Warning! This post has no value

Hi all! Just thought I'd warn you, ya know, that this post will be all about me. So if your perceived value is learning more about a new friend or how things are moving in my world, well read on. But if you like posts that are well thought out and leave you with a new crafty trick, well this ain't Martha's house.
I've been trying to become more of a part of the "craft community" and do all the right things and say all the right words but it became a bit too much for me to handle while maintaining a full-time paying job. I was also starting to feel like I had to dedicate 3+ hours every night "keeping up with crafty Kat" and it started to cut into my crochet time. Don't get me wrong, I love reading all the great crochet blogs and commenting on them. But my "day" job is working on a computer all day long and coming home to sit and be on the computer instead of holding yarn and crocheting was making me nuts. And then I would start to feel guilty for not reading! Oh how my Catholic guilt can kick in!!! So will you forgive me if I don't drop by every day? Will you drop by to see me here?
If the answer is "yes", I will feel honored. Thank you.
And while I've been away, I was working on these;
